Netflix Using HTML5 Video For ARM Chromebook

Posted by Unknown on from the shiny-new-antifeatures dept.

sfcrazy writes "Netflix is using HTML5 video streaming instead of using Microsoft's Silverlight on Chromebooks (which now supports DRM for HTML5). Recently Google enabled the much controversial DRM support for HTML5 in Chrome OS to bring services like Netflix to Chromebooks using HTML5." Still no word on general support for GNU/Linux, but x86 or ARM, what's the difference? (If you're ok with DRM at least.)

    You know... delayed gratification

    Except the U.S. Congress keeps extending this delay. It's already well over a decade past the human life expectancy.
