Facebook Is Transcoding Video For iPad

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.

Stoobalou sounds another death knell for Flash video. He says "Another heavy user of Adobe's video streaming software Flash is now pandering to the all-powerful iPad. Everybody's favourite waste of time, social notworking monster Facebook, is now streaming user videos to Apple's second coming of the portable computer with no sign of Flash in sight."

    My message wasn't specifically aimed at you.

    It was a generalized response to the ~10 Church of Apple respondents above you. I grow tired of hearing their "Apple invented near-everything" philosophy. It's like dealing with a lovesick teenage girl. So anytime I have a chance to remind them how backwards Apple was during the 90s, I take it.

    And of course they mod me downward. Gotta silence those who are not "of the faith". (Star Trek reference.)
