Submission + - Tired of Flash? HTML5 Viewer for YouTube (neosmart.net)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Sunday November 08, 2009 @02:42PM

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.

I know the guy is a native Frenchmen and all, but with all due respect, that was one of the worst-written open letters I've ever read; atrocious grammar and all.

It's an OPEN letter. People are going to read it. It's addressed to Ballmer: it's going to make news.

Couldn't François have found a native English speaker to proof-read it first?!

I mean, he's posting this on behalf of a company he's representing. Does he want to embarass them or make them proud?

Leopard Already Hacked To Run On PC Hardware 568

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday October 30, 2007 @12:08PM from the fast-moving-kitties dept.

PoliTech passed us a PC World link, noting that the newest version of OS X, Leopard, has already been adapted to run on a PC. "The OSx86 Scene forum has released details of how Windows users can migrate to Apple's new OS, without investing in new hardware -- even though installing Leopard on an PC may be counter to Apple's terms and conditions. The forum is offering full instructions on how to install the system, including screenshots of the installation process. Not all the features of Leopard function with the patch -- Wi-Fi support, for example, is reportedly inoperable. Historically, Apple's likely next move will be to track down and act against those behind the hack."

You can get your own if you really want, starting at 180 USD a pop... Any bets on how long before Microsoft threatens any and all .ms domain name owners with litigation?
