    I'm curious, where do you live? Do you make this observation coming from South Korea, or, for example, Los Angeles?

    We have a format for something like that — WebP. As a bonus, it's less processor-intensive, which makes it suited for things like tiling backgrounds, or embedding many of them on a…

    Microsoft didn't coin the term. It's been in use for at least the last few years. See T&L's online Google Maps Hyperlapse tool, from 2012: http://labs.teehanlax.com/project/hyperla…
