... loan me a few G's ??? I'm unemployed and my credit score is currently 400... However I wish to register .porn and sell sub-domains... Obviously I'll need the 185k + money to maintain servers which can pass off the 10^999999999999999 A records which will be purchased.
Obviously I'll need to aggressively defend my IP by registering, .gonzo / .gangbang / .facial (may have to fight nivea for that one)...... you get the picture... Anyone want to club in???
The whole point of the HTML5 video tag is to be able to offer video without requiring a plug-in to display it. Most Flash video is actually encoded in H.264 and wrapped in a Flash container (which you need a flash plugin to play).
The HTML5 video tag can present video in any video format (not Flash and obviously the browser has to support the codec), the main contenders are H.264, Ogg Theora and Google WebM.
So the war is Flash vs HTML5, there just also happens to be a sub war happening with a number of companies trying to push different codecs as the HTML5 standard according to what suits their corporate agenda.
