I've heard "AVC" doesn't mean "AVC main profile". Insert sad face. CABAC and B-frames are awesome.

Obama is doing a Q&A this afternoon sponsored by Google where the questions are all youtube videos submitted and voted on by anyone. As with a similar change.org Q&A that took place in 2009, the top question is about drug legalization. Obama sort of brushed that one off before, saying, "I don't know what this says about the online audience..." However, this time around, all 20 of the top 20 questions are about drugs. D'oh. I'm guessing this will be the last non big media mediated Q&A any President will ever do.

Q&A at 2:30 EST on youtube
