Breakthroughs do happen, but before anyone accepts it as real, they should just try to download the demo — because you can NOT, even though it LOOKS like you can. That is probably not an accident. This incident is relatively trivial, but it’s a great example of how many people think something is true if they see it in the corporate news media. Therefore, you can BUY credibility–you can fool the vast majority just by paying the corporate news media to say something which is totally false. They are more than happy to take this bribe money, because they are not in business to tell the truth, they are in business to make a profit. That issue is HUGE… and it is *extremely* important, because you can get away with ANYTHING if you can make people believe a big enough lie. It happens every day, and here are a few examples:

CORPORATE FAKE NEWS EXPOSED:

“…In each case, these 77 television stations actively disguised the sponsored content to make it appear to be their own reporting…”

GOVERNMENT FAKE NEWS EXPOSED:

“Shortly before last year’s Super Bowl, local news stations across the country aired a story by Mike Morris … there was nothing in the two-minute, prepackaged reports that would indicate to viewers that they came from the government or that Morris, a former journalist, was working under contract for the government…”

“In March 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interests and their subsidiary organizations got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press….They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers.”

-U.S. congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

Also, the method they describe is something that have been used since like divx 3.11? the only diffence is that they’ll encode non-important part (think bacground of video call) to hell just keep the faces reasonable.

But I dont see how a face can be loadet into the momery, what if the face is in a shaddow the next time it’s shown? then it will look different..

so I won’t get even close that hoax even if it’s true

H264/x264 codec can shrink a file from 175mb, for example, to around 65 mb with same quality.

I see no reason why this technology won’t work, BUT, it is definitely a long way off. Think 5 years?

Also the speed of encode is pretty important and was not mentioned. This would be a major drawback and could add far more time to getting a file than an extra 650mb download would.
