And of course, we did remember HTML5 is still not the future, hard to debug and program and so forth. But we know Flash is still on going, check this one out, very big news for both Windows & Mac users. But most importantly, iPhone users who wanted Flash!

i guess then you've never tried to debug a flash file before, there hard as hell and i've only been coding amateur materials.
HTML is hard simply because there's no good way to code for it currently other than in brute force, in a single file that has no UI (from what i know). while i'm a fan of Flash, it is proprietary and thus i'm in favor of HTML if it can get good support. sadly though, HTML5's video codecs isn't supported by half the web browsers out there because company's like Google and MS are trying to force there proprietary standards in to the video industry. so sadly HTML5 will probably take for ****ing ever to get to wide spread usage.
this non the less has me vary happy, maybe now my computer wont run at a snails pace when i've got more than one video feed running. (laptop only)
speaking of Video, YouTube has changed its policy's so that all users (majority) that don't have a Google account cant aces there YouTube account. all i can say is **** YOU GOOGLE I DON'T WANT ANOTHER ACCOUNT!

The next generation of browsers will have decent support (although not full support) for HTML 5 (Except for I.E 9 of course). If you ask me what will be the way of the future out of Flash and HTML 5, I can say with all my certainty that it will be HTML 5.
There's plenty of ways to code in or generate HTML, many options are available such as Dream-weaver or creating HTML via server side or client side scripts.

Of course, I know Dreamweaver, they can help you to create a very basic website without so much hesitations, programming them manually is just plain hard unless you're a pro to create a professional website. Same case for Flash action scripting too. And we now see with Flash 10.2 come out, I decide to get a new smartphone that comes with Ice Cream Sandwich in the future, it's worth another wait again to see an Android phone getting more power efficient than ever when Flash is enabled. And it's going to be amusing when Steve Jobs is sweating even more, I really wish he would see his iPhones that comes with Flash too, best of both worlds, how hard can that be? If people turns on Flash and their battery dies out too fast, that's their problem anyways, not Steve's.

atecom, has google's changed its mind on its html 5 video codec refusal? last i read they removed support for it in favor of there own video codec.
also, did Dreamweaver finally get the update to html5? (im a bit behind on my adobe info) last i knew it didn't
(i hope they add a spell checker to the next version of the DS browser. posting this from a DSi)

Speaking of Flash and stuff, I think we got a breakthrough at the Smartphone thread in the Chatter section. Check out the Samsung Galaxy S II, it's possibly the perfect smartphone ever! The possible real iPhone killer is already in our sights! When it's still Android and also is in Gingerbread version, we get both Flash 10.1 & HTML5 at the same time. But unfortunately, Flash 10.2 will have to wait until Ice Cream Sandwich (Honeycomb is for tablets only) & the pricing for that new phone is very high (Higher than the iPhone 4 itself), sources claim is around $1000 USD. PS : By the way, Clone, I left you a PM regarding Flash. Do I really need it if I don't surf? And there's a real important question for many of us too, why did Flash 10.2 cannot support on Gingerbread? I heard it's a hardware issue but we should go deeper to know why.

Im not entirely sure what you mean wiith a HTML 5 CODEC, unless you are actually encoding and decoding html data to make a HTML video, its not technically a HTML codec. Nonetheless, If I am correct, you are talking about the inability to define a standard codec to use for the HTML 5 video element. Not a massive deal as HTML allows plenty of ways to embed media (Google will still allow their browser access to codecs in order to decode all sorts of formats, we are just talking about the default behaviour of 1 element here). It would be nice if a standard for that could be agreed upon, but its really a minor issue in the grand scheme of things.

what i was getting after was with the HTML5 Standard, there was a video codec that as assigned as the standard for HTML5 Video streaming. Google original complied and had the functionality of the codec in its Chrome Browser, however recently it has removed support for the codec in favor of its own. (as in it doesn't support the codec at all now) Microsoft on the other hand has support for the codec in IE9 however it is also trying to promote its own proprietary codec just like Google.
the Standardization of Video codecs for internet streaming was meant to simplify server side storage, however in the current situation in order to feed video to all browsers you would need to encode one for each of the current 3 dominant codecs (Google's, MS's, and HTML5's), because of this sites will more than likely choose to stick with Flash delivered video. (a proprietary format, but one thats well established)

Wow, with Flash still delivers the good stuff, we can say Steve Jobs still talk all that bullsh*t when he is all anti-Flash. Not to mention I remember recent MacBook Pros doesn't come with Flash, but users will surely install them back anyways.

Will do. But with me being full time, I would love to see it in action via Youtube videos. Just like how I used to watch all that many Core i3 to i7 videos of how the processors turned from Core2 to the 'i' series on what are their differences in performances, etc..

sad sad news everyone. AMD has delayed the launch of Bulldozer chips by 90 days due to unsatisfactory performance. apparently they weren't competing with Intel at all (2.8ghz was the highest Bulldozer). however the good news is that AMD believes that its performance problem can be solved with new steepings. so for the time being, we wait again however with much hope of AMD finally being able to compete once more.
Nvidias been doing a astounding job so far with its 5xx class GPU's as its now become the defacto GPU like AMD was with its 5xxx. currently Nvidia holds the performance crown for both single and multy GPU setups. (this should soon shift once more as AMD/ATI launches 7xxx this fall)
program wise Windows 8 is surprisingly stable in its alpha builds as i'm all ready seeing benchmarks for the OS and they are not doing all to bad for such an early build of an OS thats 2 years away. the downer here is that the OS uses that parcty ribbon interface all over the place and is still running off of the NT kernel. (i'm assuming its still a variant of NT6.x seeing as games are working already on the OS)

Ahh yes, the 500 series cards I saw are awesome and beautiful! Although again, it won't do much well for laptops. Hmm, Windows 8? Nah, I no need to touch that, I bet the OS is something like a beefier version of Windows 7, not much of a big change compare to XP to 7, now that's a very big change. Vista could have been counted too if it wasn't for all the bugs and stuff.

so any one else a little pissed that its taken this long for AMD to finally settle in on a release date for Bulldozer? (September 19) LINKeither way, lets hope that they don't pull the launch date again, really want this chip to launch all ready that ways i can figure out what to do with some cash i'm sitting on. would love a new Processor and MoBo -------- also, Nvidia has announced that its 6xx class GPU's, a variant of the 5xx's Fermi, will be launching holiday season 2011. looks like competitions getting good with both the red and green party's. -------- Windows 8 is said to hit a its first beta build by October and RTM in April of 2012 with a posable launch late 2012. (and for everyone that doesn't get it. The metro UI is for tablets, the traditional windows UI is still there, **** MS showed off the new file management system form with in the traditional windows UI) ------- inlet's Ivy Bridge is acting up currently. wile pulling in good numbers and out performing sandy bridge in some aspects its also consuming more energy. general suspicions is that this will be corrected before launch as the performance increase isn't anything huge.
