Yeah, I pretty much agree with all of that. The douchey part is waving the legal stick around, which is unbecoming of anyone. But as far as format goes, in 2010, h.264 is the only reasonable choice. I fully understand people's desire for an open format, but it's just not there right now, whereas h.264 has been in production use for five years.
Keep up, it's not Flash vs h.264, it's Flash vs Javascript and HTML5. Video format is not at question here. You're looking for the h.264 vs Theora war, that's in a different article.
Apple being douchey about video formats doesn't change the fact that they are fully supporting open web scripting standards.
This reminds me of when GUI's were new in the mid 80's, all the elitist jerks who fancied themselves to be high-caliber nerds loudly proclaiming that it was all a gay bullshit fad, etc., ad nauseum.
Lemme ask you guys, any chance we'll get a humble redaction if it turns out you are completely and utterly wrong about this?
Where are these hated Apple zealots you constantly complain about? As usual, the article comments are a stream of barely-thought-out vitriol, from people who seemingly just need something and someone to hate. And, as usual, the mythical Apple fanboy is nowhere to be seen.
It not only includes the phone's location, but also accelerometer data showing if the phone was moved at the time the picture was taken and the readout from the [built-]in compass showing in which direction the phone was pointed at the time.
Not only that, the file exposes an image from the phone's camera. Won't someone think of the children!
Not only that, what the HELL does Corona have to do with Flash? Corona is a software development tool for iPhone apps. It has nothing to do with lack of Flash support on iPhones. It doesn't address or solve that problem at all. What retarded person would want to program iPhone apps in Flash? Thank god that isn't possible.
This whole article is a fucking stupid worthless slashvertisement, and looking at the comments, the typical fools that spew all over every Apple- or iPhone-related article sure took the bait.
Which format has reasonable compression, and can be assured to play on all major browsers on all currently popular versions of Windows, OS X, and Linux?
The answer to the first three is definitely yes, and I'm pretty sure the answer to the sync question is yes depending on what you mean. Do some googling.

I for one am no expert in this subject, so
You, sir, have come to the right place!

Thank goodness for Apple -- if it wasn't for them where would you direct your daily hate and smugness?
Or, non-human users can learn how to use a GUI already.

Yeah, bring back the G5! Those were much better!

Mesa likes the little Jedi. Hesa gunna be a strong one.
Man, this place is a cesspool today. A cesspool!
Think of it like an annual day of fasting. Or an occasional giant painful shit.
So we feast, so we must also purge.
I want this tool in Final Cut. It would take insanely long to process, but man oh man would it be useful.
I didn't say you gave it up by voting for anyone.
Blame the leaders if that makes you feel better, but we're the ones that give it up, like a $5 whore.
You vastly overestimate the quality and sensitivity of laptop microphones.

My. Balls. They're peaceful. They never hurt no one.
Here's hoping that BOTH the iPad and the Chromepad are successful. A little competition here might actually make these devices pretty sweet.
