It wasn't the technology that made auto-playing video/animations bad. Just because you can now do it with native html rather than flash doesn't make it ok.

  I don't think people generally care about auto playing if there is no sound. At least I don't.

  The auto-playing video on this site is Flash, though ... ? <object width="480" height="270" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="big-video-vid_flash_api" name="big-video-vid_flash_api" class="vjs-tech" data="http://vjs.zencdn.net/3.0/video-js.swf" style="width: 1208px; height: 679.5px;"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="opaque"><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"><param name="flashvars" value="readyFunction=_V_.flash.onSWFReady&amp;eventProxyFunction=_V_.flash.onSWFEvent&amp;errorEventProxyFunction=_V_.flash.onSWFErrorEvent&amp;autoplay=true&amp;preload=auto&amp;loop=false&amp;muted=false"></object>

    It's using a video tag for me; sounds like it fell back to Flash for your browser.

      Weird. I'm on the latest stable FF; I only knew it was Flash in the first place because it triggered my Flashblock.

  I think it looks nice. Why didn't you like it?
