Thanks for the pointers.
Few things have given me as much trouble on Linux as Flash. Adobe has shown that it can write good code in the past, but much of their stuff has gotten incredibly bloated. Why on earth should a PDF viewer be as huge, slow, and fragile as Acrobat Reader 8 (a 217 MB tree on WinXP here)?
That old saw has seemingly been updated to: "The Internet treats Adobe as damage and routes around it." I'm glad it's progressing reasonably well. Cheers, Scott. |

Looks like Vimeo is switching as well
http://gizmodo.com/5...-kill-flash-video
Vimeo's new HTML5 system is just like YouTube's, in both execution and technical details, in that it'll only work with a few browsersÂSafari and Chrome, for nowÂand that it's compatible with most, but not all, of the company's video libraries. |
