Re: alright people
I don't know why people hate Flash so much.
As a former Flash developer I have no qualms with it....at all. Except that it doesn't work on the majority of cell phones. I don't think that's Adobe's fault, though.

Re: alright people
It will likely be AT&T if anyone, that would try and nix it. Saw that yesterday, basically Onlive for the iPad.

Re: alright people
ok i read up on the situation. apparently MPEG requires licensing. HTML was designed specifically to avoid licensing. mozilla is officially opposed to this situation. i was right about ogg, though. ogg theora or w/e is an open source video codec that can be used by html. it uses ogg vobis audio with a new video codec they created (i <3 ogg). Firefox 3.5+ supports this configuration.
google licensed mpeg/h.264 and added support to Chrome. Apple already owns a license due to Quicktime. this is why both browsers are supported in the youtube beta.
i also read last week sometime, unaware of any of this stuff, that MPEG LA, which owns all MPEG and related patents and patent pools, announced it wouldnt be charging fees for using h.264 for 5 years. i still dont think mozilla will have official h.264 support out of principal.

Translation is: "HTML5 doesn't yet allow us to track users via hidden cookies like Flash and totally negate your security settings for privacy"
That is the real reason people love Flash, it does a ton of crap that you have no control over, because it doesn't care what your security settings are.
