Tired of Flash? HTML5 Viewer For YouTube 372

An anonymous reader writes "Instead of spending the next 10 years trying to find a Flash implementation for Linux or OS X that doesn't drain CPU cycles like there's no tomorrow, NeoSmart Technologies has made an HTML5 viewer for YouTube videos. It loads YouTube videos in an HTML5 video container and streams (with skip/skim/pause/resume) against an MP4 resource, and an (optional) userscript file can update YouTube pages with the HTML5 viewer. The latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari are supported. Personally, I can't wait until the major video sites default to HTML5 and we can finally say goodbye to Flash."

The organization that wastes your money and can't even put a shuttle into space with blowing one up every 10 years? Screw that.

This is Wired attempt at glorifying technology by using big words and organizations names that there user base understand.

How about if we take the money that we put into NASA every year and put it into "X type" prizes. Great technology has been improved greatly very quickly comparatively cheaply using this method.
