My browser handles autoplay fine. If I open a new tab it doesn't start playing it until I activate that tab. Although when I use Firefox instead of Safari everything starts playing at once and drives me crazy.
Quicktime is scheduled to get a large rewrite in Snow Leopard. There have been many complaints about the Quicktime API, but there is hope that Snow Leopard will fix that.
Wine seems to making large improvements on ease of use in Linux desktops, especially with the simple installation afforded by package managers. However, installation of Wine on Mac OS X remains complicated.
Are there any efforts underway to simplify the use and installation of Wine on Mac OS X?
It's only Godaddy's parked domain names that run on Windows. If the domains that are transfered are sent to parked pages, Windows will only have a temporary spike until the domain owners update the information.
Over the past couple of weeks I watched every episode of heroes on their site. The first time I tried it I had a lot of trouble getting the video started. Since then I have had problems at one part in one of the videos.
The fullscreen mode also works pretty well, although since the videos are widescreen shows encoded in fullscreen format widescreen monitors have a black border all the way around the video.
Fox's video streaming service requires an exe installation. Their shows are in higher quality than NBCs and true widescreen, but they do not have a fullscreen mode. I've also had more trouble on Fox's site with audio not be synchronized.
Imagine a world where every online store sells DRM-free music encoded in open licensable formats. In such a world, any player can play music purchased from any store, and any store can sell music which is playable on all players. This is clearly the best alternative for consumers, and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat. If the big four music companies would license Apple their music without the requirement that it be protected with a DRM, we would switch to selling only DRM-free music on our iTunes store.
Why would the big four music companies agree to let Apple and others distribute their music without using DRM systems to protect it? The simplest answer is because DRMs haven't worked, and may never work, to halt music piracy.
If anything, the technical expertise and overhead required to create, operate and update a DRM system has limited the number of participants selling DRM protected music. If such requirements were removed, the music industry might experience an influx of new companies willing to invest in innovative new stores and players. This can only be seen as a positive by the music companies.
We're working hard on a native Macintosh Intel version and expect it to be available in the next few months. Currently the application works fine under Bootcamp but not under Parallels; it needs to access the graphics processing unit (GPU) for some of its operations, and Parallels does not support that at the moment.

Mario breaks bricks with his fist.
Exactly. Mario has put his fist up when jumping ever since Super Mario Bros, and he continues to do so.
Everyone's afraid of linking to it.
I don't think H.264 is patented in the UK. Why can't we have a version of Firefox that supports it?
This is what I have been wondering. Wouldn't it be possible to distribute an H.264 version in areas where it isn't patented?
Also, what do decisions such as these mean for software patents in the US?
Aren't there any games made just for fun. Here's the story of Pac-Man.
It's neat to see the world governments working together on a good goal for once. It gives me a little bit of hope in humanity.
Most of ReGenesis can be viewed at hulu if you live in the United States.

Sadly they still haven't fixed the Mac OS X copy and paste (with formatting) bug.

Just today I ran into this video on Flickr. If all the videos on Flickr were this well done I would not have any reason to complain.
That does not include the research and development cost, which they may have recovered by now.

Now it does.

Apple also has a new Mac ad making fun of Vista's security prompts.
