Real pixel coding (2011)
"during the last 5 years i’ve been explaining people that it takes less space to write a 3 minutes HD animated video and music clip than than it takes to store a 32×32 pixel icon."<p>This sounds so wrong. This sentence makes it sound as if any 3 minutes HD video has smaller filesize than a 32x32 pixel icon. Of course people won't believe you if you use that wording.<p>I assume what you mean to say is, it is possible to create SOME 3 minute video with music that is smaller than SOME 32x32 pixel icon.<p>E.g. if you store the 32x32 pixel icon in some XML format that describes every single pixel color component, and the video is plain white with some bleep music :p
