texburgher: For whom the bell tolls Revolutionary HTML 5 video! Huh. I guess at least it’s a nicer piss-off icon than I get with Flash on my iPhone. Still. Apparently the problem is that I’m using a boring, outmoded browser (Firefox 3.5.7). (via faruk) The problem is that Firefox is taking a Richard Stallman-esque position on H.264 http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2010/01/video_freedom_a.html and, as zealots, are refusing to find ways to use an h.264 decoder that you already have on your computer, nor will they license H.264 because VIDEO WANTS TO BE FREEEEEEEE… Because, as you know, Mozilla is open source and therefore doesn’t make any money so they can’t afford to license anything.. HAHAHAHA, no, just kidding. In 2007 Mozilla made $75,130,722. But licensing fees?! Those are for suckers.
