Do I Owe Apple and HTML5 an Apology?
Leo Laporte mentioned that anyone can test HTML5 video at http://youtube.com/html5 . I gave it a try and even though it didn’t load any quicker, it played better. Right now it’s in tests or beta mode so i couldn’t go fullscreen. Still though it did work better than usual in the Chrome browser for Linux. Usually I disagree with Apple but i think this time i might owe them an apology. Technically you can view videos on youtube.com via the above link. I guess i should applaud them for being tech forward and waiting for something that hasn’t hit the mainstream yet. What confused me was the relationship Apple has with Adobe.
Honestly, the commercial content standard comes from Adobe and works its best on Apple products. Do you work on photos at work? You probably use Photoshop on a Mac. How about video? Adobe Premiere is the if not one of the best. The list goes on from PDF creation to website authoring, simply stated Adobe is a monster and Apple helped them get there…
So what’s the problem with Adobe flash the internet video and audio standard? Steve Jobs blamed flash for most crashes in OS X. Is that true? Maybe but i’m more with how Apple plans to pull the web away from flash. Will html5 be the new media standard this year? How about next year? I asked that question last year and some like youtube have begun experimenting so maybe it will be soon…
