Porn Industry Ready To Drop Flash

Posted by Soulskill on from the stiff-competition-for-market-penetration dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Here's an interesting new angle to the ongoing Flash-HTML5 debate. Digital Playground, one of the major adult film studios, said it would drop Flash today if all browsers were HTML5-ready (*cough*, IE8, *cough*). The company's founder said, 'Flash brings everything to a crawl and has an impact on battery life. With HTML5, there is no reason to show our content in Flash.' Digital Playground also indicated that it does not expect 3-D to gain mass acceptance any time soon."

      the porn industry caters to workplace browsers?

      Believe it or not, there are workplaces (like mine) where the porn industry is a large part of our business...

    So Flash really is almost dead and 3D really is a just gimmick. Now this doesn't seem like such a shitty Monday.

      On the plus side, the 3D glasses do keep you from getting stuff in your eyes!

    Why would 3D gain faster acceptance? Who wouldn't want tits to basically jump out of your screen and nearly hit you in the face?

    That the iPad would revolutionize online porn as we know it.

    As someone who has actually seen a 3-d porn movie (in the theater, no less), let me assure that 3-d "money shots" are REALLY NOT something you want to experience.

    the two minutes of battery life that my N900 can run flash for have so far proven sufficient.

    The iPad is a HORRIBLE porn viewing device. There's no easy way to set it down to view hands-free and if you're holding it... well... let's just say it's slippery enough as it is without any fluids involved.
