Google's Chromium blog says:

"We expect even more rapid innovation in the web media platform in the coming year and are focusing our investments in those technologies that are developed and licensed based on open web principles. To that end, we are changing Chrome’s HTML5 video support to make it consistent with the codecs already supported by the open Chromium project. Specifically, we are supporting the WebM (VP8) and Theora video codecs, and will consider adding support for other high-quality open codecs in the future. Though H.264 plays an important role in video, as our goal is to enable open innovation, support for the codec will be removed and our resources directed towards completely open codec technologies.developed and licensed based on open web principles."

On the one hand YIKES ===:O but on the other GOOD ;-D since Apple is demanding I buy QuicktimePro AGAIN if I update this time so FU Apple but Also WOW o.O what about Flash? Ogg Theora is kewl and I've worked with it a little, but maybe I'll poke around some more.

Aeons ago I bought Quicktime Pro and then found out I'd have to pay again when they updated it. I was flabberghasted... indeed my ghast had never been so flabbered and this was the time I remember thinking "Fuck Apple, I will *never* buy a thing they make again."

And I haven't.

Google FTW.

I bought QTPro aeons ago and only with this update are they wanting another 30 bucks. I don't use it often, it's not worth $30 comparatively speaking, and there's no way I'd pay it.
However Apple has the BEST tos - "Do not run nuclear power pl;ants on this software," or whatever it says.
