A well functioning company who devote all of their efforts to multimedia and optimization of multimedia routines will always outperform something which has to be implemented by every browser individually. This is particularly true given that no browser team will have adobes resources, know-how and clout gained through producing editing software, effects software, audio software, image software etc.
This will only end once the multimedia demand ceiling is hit like it was with the audio playback industry where the majority have been happy to settle for mp3s because they can barely tell the difference in effective quality given anything better.
So I don't think we're there yet and html video will not do all the cool OSX style stuff that flash is starting to do: (top of the page) http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/
or
interactive 3d video (yeh really) http://demos.immersivemedia.com/index.php?clip=WW1
For quite some time to come.
Not to mention interactive webcam videos, live video compositing and transforming, dynamic compiled filters etc.
I am, however, glad that interactivity through html and flash is basically javascript adressing different DOMS.
The price for a good should reflect its utility to the buyer as well as the effort the seller has put in and therefore the price is the outcome that both are willing to trade at.
If due to technological advancement people find it is more efficient for them to buy books and use text to speech than to buy audio books (because the added value of the audio book is now minimal) then authors should simply raise the price of the books and lower the price of the audio books. Authors+Actors should then lower the audio book price enough and people will still buy it because it is better than the kindle.
Amazon should not have to pay for any silly reason, they should just have to pay authors a higher price for the books that are now worth more to both amazon because they are worth more to the consumer. The market really can sort most of this out.
My guess is the teacher was looking for personal curiosity and found something illegal. Having seen this, hiding the crime might come with consequences
Here's a thought:
I just accidentally erased a drive fulla my favourite/most mission critical data by "mixing up the or and else clause" when I was running dd or somesuch. I know that normal companies would charge $$$ for the service of recovering the data and those are $$$ I don't have.
But I think, "hey Slashdot is awesome", maybe if I put it up as a challenge with a social rather than significant financial reward (see Predictably irrational by Dan Arielly) I'll get my frickin data back?

I also wonder if it's compatible with their drivers.
