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."

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

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

    Also, it wipes clean with a damp cloth.

    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.
