While I do agree with you because nerds news have lots of specialized fields, the WebM video CODEC has been the subject of at least half a dozen Slashdot articles and the topic itself is more than five months old.
I do agree that the summary should have at least included a link to WebM.
Funny that I keep finding videos on YouTube that won't work in HTML5. They display "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video". So even if it's true that all the videos are in H.264, YouTube's doing a really bad job at using them.
And if it supports H.264 by using the H.264 decoder of the OS, then Firefox can do it too.
This whole H.264 vs WebM mess is only harming the adoption of the HTML5 video tag, not to mention that Flash is currently used for playing... H.264 files.
We're still stuck with 5mbps cable sold to us as "high speed" and they still even have 2mbps options... while still charging way more than most of the other places in Europe or Asia.
Broadband in Canada is even falling behind some places in the USA. Blame oligopolies and federal funding and protection for the lack of competition.
So all webmasters all over the world are expected to keep logs of all tiny details and all files requests for months if not years to come from thousands if not millions of visitors per day.
And the FAA don't keep logs of what happens in radar range?
Oracle: I'd ask you to sit down, but, you're not going to anyway. And don't worry about that language. Apache: What language? [Apache turns to look for a language, and as he does, he knocks Java, which shatters on the floor.] Oracle: That language. Apache: I'm sorry-- Oracle: I said don't worry about it. I'll get one of my intern to fix it. Apache: How did you know? Oracle: Ohh, what's really going to bake you're noodle later on is, would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?

Facebook equals Farmville equals loss of productivity = ban Facebook.
Hey, that was easy!
Ban Flash and you stop Farmville. Two wins with one action!

Not all videos are available in non-Flash.
I'm in the HTML5 beta myself (for H.264, not WebM) and there's a LOT of videos that aren't available in HTML5.
Safari supports H.264 and yet it's free.
And if it supports H.264 by using the H.264 decoder of the OS, then Firefox can do it too.

Adobe started the war with Apple by writing shitty code for Flash on the Mac.
Secondly, there's no point in wrapping H.264 video inside a Flash player when the hardware can play H.264 by itself.
Putting H.264 video inside Flash is as stupid as putting a JPEG inside a Microsoft Word document.
So, it also works for farmers then?

Justin Hammer: Drone better? What, why drone better? Ivan, I got an order for suits, not drones!
