http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroblock

This is a non-technical term used when macroblocks are missing and show up as video errors. Square areas of the picture do not show the correct portion of the image, but instead show a single color block. Advanced decoders hide these types of errors with a technique called error concealment. This effect is also referred to as microblocking.



Notice the square areas (i.e. blocks) in the circled area. You can also see the same thing above the building (but for that, do right click+view image if the image is too big in the thread page).
