The reason that I have such a high score of Firefox might be that the visitors of my website are very international. Only 20 % of my visitors are from US, 17 % from Germany, 10 % from India, France 5%, UK 4%, etc. I believe IE is still very strong in US, while Firefox is the leading browser in Eu

Even if you have some sort of personal vendetta against the xiph crew and want to encode just once, using the tag (with fallback to using a flash player to render your h.264 file) has plenty of benefits, so any perceived or real shortcomings of Ogg Theora aren't too relevant to danger that the t

Sure, you could "bundle Ogg Theora and H.264", but what's the benefit? It seems that there are three reasons against using Ogg Theora (see the email announcement at http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-June/020620.html): - no hardware video decoding support (cited by Apple) -

Not entirely. if you offer just flash, you create some annoyances for your users: - It won't work on the iPhone (major reason) - On non-windows machines, it'll light up one CPU core, which means notebook mac and linux users will burn through the battery. - There's no useful right click contex

IFrom the overall stats that I've seen from various websites that do publish their visits, IE6 still has a disturbingly large portion. From a technical site such as yours, it is quite surprising that IE6 has such a large percentage among the IE crowd! --Ryan On Sat, Jul 4, 2009 at 2:16 AM, vogel

Hi, Some people thought that the upcoming HTLM 5 with standard audio and video tags would spell the end of Flash (and Silverlight and JavaFX). I never thought it would because these plug-ins offer much more than just video and audio. However, it seems now that there will be no standard audio and
