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."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.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.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
