New Flash Player for Linux Adds Great Features, Slows Playback
,----[ Quote ]
| On the plus side, Adobe Flash Player 9 Update 3, version identifier 9.0.115.0
| was made available for Linux at the same time as Mac and Windows versions.
| It's nice to see Linux not being treated as the little brother who only gets
| the older, hand-me down programs by a major software vendor. An even bigger
| win for Flash Player users, regardless of their operating system, is that its
| supports H.264.

Web standards could gradually have it replaced (starting with HTML5 and SVG,

| Firefox and Opera will support a new HTML tag specifically for embedding
| video in Web pages. As long as the browsers support a video's specific codec,
| or encoding method, the browsers will then be able to play the video without
| launching third-party enabling software, said Chris Double, a Mozilla
| engineer. Mozilla and Opera are also working to support the royalty-free
| video codec Ogg Theora.

| One of the many great features it sports, which will be of interest to free

| really has the potentional to revolutionize the Web. No more Flash, no more
| YouTube. Independence! And all of this using Vorbis and Theora as the
