He doesn't admit, but he backtracks all the time. If he didn't, we'd still be using Mac keyboards without arrow keys, the puck mouse, etc

Here's some news: you've chosen to install something that selectively blocks the plugin (thus allowing you to still use it) instead of uninstalling it, something you can do. That's because you like choice ; the freedom to run Flash when yo

Just buy a dumb $19.99 phone (or get it for free from your carrier) and free yourself from the burden of having to choose which icon to click.

Do you see the white square? Some of youtube's videos are FLVs, not H264. This is for H264 only.

The keynote was a mix of real stuff that's just being released and forthcoming stuff, just like every Apple keynote. Not sure what you're talking about.

I'm betting that that can be circumvented by changing the browser's user agent.

Depending on your needs, you may want to try the 'Gala' beta instead: http://blog.kaourantin.net/?p=89 It's Flash 10.0, but with the hooks for hardware decoding in Mac OSX (that Apple only added very recently to the plugin API). It's supp

The player has had major changes in terms of memory use, frame/execution timing, and how it is suspended or not. You're taking one phrase from a non-tech person and judging from that.

Awesome. Can we create banners in HTML5 and start hating on HTML5 already?

Ok, they've officially announced support now. No mention of which version of FP though.

by not_an_alien 16y ago
They've been quiet about adding other codecs to the player, but considering Google's recent support for Adobe, I can see how they could easily ask Adobe to add that in support of them. Not to mention that they would need to do it for FP t

10.1 is not just a port, it's a bunch of changes that were made specifically for mobile devices - including suspending execution state, reducing performance of player instances when in hidden tabs/outside of view, hardware acceleration, bet

Has it ever gone down? I remember people talking it was closed and stuff, but I'd go there to test and it'd always be online. Did that just apply to some servers or what?

Very few good games on Android. If by "good" you mean "console-like 3d models and in-your-face graphics", then yes. But there are many very good games on Android. I know I've wasted enough time with things like drop7. It's consuming me.

Not really. Implementing obscure and browser-specific solutions isn't the same as supporting it by the standard. http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/blog/11887/html5-video-...

Basically, as of today, HTML5 video isn't ready. We all knew that. Tell that to the people that think HTML5 is 100% supported, that technologies like Flash aren't needed, and that Youtube has actually moved to HTML5.

People are assuming this is all about DRM, but there's a lot more than that. Interactive features, as well as tracking - all very possive with HTML5/JS, just more painful to work with. Not to mention things like fullscreen which are not eve
