All in the pursuit of patent-free happiness. During a quick peruse of the web this morning for resources on PNG, I discovered a few things previously unbeknownst to me. For example, did you realize that PNG is not just an alternative to GIF and JPEG? Oh no. According the official PNG Home Site, it’s “a turbo-studly image format”. Put that in your high-bandwidth pipe and smoke it. And besides the commonly known features such as non-royalty bearing lossless compression and alpha channel support, it has a veritable weekend swap meet of other “spiffier features“, including but not limited to: unambiguous pronunciation, majorly gnarly two-dimensional interlacing, ultra-clever magic signatures, and some new chunks for cross-platform color correction. Well, now you know don’t you?
