Look, if you hate Flash because it eats at your CPU, or it broke into your house - be angry. The author explains that Flash breaks 3 fundamentals: * it encourages design abuse * it breaks with the Web's fundamental interaction princ

Agreed. I don't really understand why they compare themselves to community-based video sites and not services like Bits On The Run, which essentially is the same thing, but provides much more overall. VidYard provides pretty limited bandw

Problem is, technology outpaces longterm planning exponentially. Apple laying out a plan for 20-30 years would actually work against them as they would be planning, in large part, based on current, or foreseen technology and cost. It's a li

VidYard isn't really much of an innovation, in fact, Bits on the Run has been doing this - better - for quiet some time. VidYard is caught in between trying to emulate YouTube and being a streaming hosting provider without convincing me of

At first I only took it as a "me-too" to Khan Academy, but it really isn't. It definitely takes away some great features in KA, but it's defined differently in the sense that the design reflects the web industry rather than how a typical co

For me, this is really about code generators in general . No need to center Adobe out here, as I can't think of a single IDE that doesn't generate all kinds of extra code that, to me, is useless 90% of the time. You also should keep in min

Slightly off-topic but one thing I've noticed in particular, is the silliness Gruber spews when the narrative of HTML5 vs. Flash comes about. Gruber treads lightly on the open source aspect of the conversation, but goes full-bore on the

Although I am not a Windows developer, if I were, I would appreciate some more information as to what to expect when developing applications on W8. So far, I've only heard HTML+JS, which is great, but hopefully more information on developin

I agree with the shotgun analogy, it is certainly true. Hopefully advancements in individual genome sequencing and the advancement of personalized medication seeks to improve upon this point.

It may be my honeymoon period, but plenty of others who are well past their honeymoon period and still enjoying the benefits of stimulants. Again, it's not a perfect drug, but it works if you use it as a tool and not as a silver bullet.

If we're getting into a debate of whether medications can have other effects than intended, I cannot argue that. ADHD and ADD should be treated in completely different ways. People diagnosed with ADHD have a much higher chance of psychotic

This is welcome news. I recently got diagnosed and after taking the medication, I've found a great increase in the quality of life. There are a few who are very anti-drug when it comes to this condition and their children. Let me tell you

The thing I don't get about aliens is that they seem to have the technology to pass through lightyears to our galaxy, but somehow don't have the technology to hide themselves? Yeesh.

This isn't just a Detroit problem. Residents of just about every mid-to-high pop. city could pick a few eerily similar buildings on this site left in the very same states. Living in Ontario, Canada, I can say our situation isn't quiet as pr

This ideology can only go so far. Human brains work well when manipulating objects as they are being interpreted. A graphical UI is an extension of reality. We manipulate the UI until it reaches a desired goal. This is somewhat instinctive,

What a short-term thought process. Creating laws that pertain to the current conditions only is a zero-sum game. Child porn (nothing to do with this bill) will soon find its way into bitcoin-level undetectability, along with many other il

I know that it's posh to hate on Adobe, but in all measures of truth and relative endearment, Adobe isn't really that bad of a software company. Like any software company, they've (still are?) going through a bit of a wobbly period. Macrome

I'm not saying it's right or fair. I also think it's nonsense . You're thinking on the side of a smart entrepreneur, not a criminal. All a crook is interested in is hearing or seeing the headline: "Airbnb pays for loss and damages to rattl

I think all of this crossed their minds. Honestly, I don't think Airbnb wants to leave this person hanging. If they pay for this incident, they are possibly opening the door for the kinds of schemes people pull on insurance. You know, the w

Or even better: What you might be able to do (pending royalties, patents) tomorrow with HTML5, you can do with Flash today without worry of being pursued by a consortium representing a specific codec you may or may not be allowed to u

You're trying to dilute Flash into a few "kinda necessary" features. * The kind of 3D coming from Flash Player 11 makes WebGL look bad. * Audio API? * How about recording via webcam (kinda important to YouTube). * Not sure how HTM

by tomlin 15y ago
I've always questioned it. Reason: Webcam support. YouTube was founded on the idea that people could record via webcam and post videos immediately with no knowledge of video files, etc. How is HTML5 solving this problem for YouTube?
