HTML vs. Flash February 8, 2010

Rarely do I post two articles about the same subject, but this one’s not really the browsers, but whether a plugin is needed for video. Apple and Microsoft are in the HTML 5 corner, but Adobe has a headstart with Flash. Which way to do you think things will go? Do you think we should be moving away from Flash?
Bruce Lawson, Web standards evangelist for browser maker Opera Software, believes HTML and the other technologies inevitably will replace Flash and already collectively are “very close” to reproducing today’s Flash abilities.

Browser Wars February 8, 2010
Posted by natewadman in browser, business.comments closed
The browsers have been changing lately. From last week’s talk about IE6 to the rise of Chrome, we always seem to be talking about browsers. Which one do you use? Do you think it’s wise for these organizations to invest such time and money into the browser?
From the perspective of the vendors making the browsers, the only thing really at stake is bragging rights. The software is distributed for free. There is no profit motive to the browser wars. Winning the browser wars is, at best, a hollow victory.
