Amarok Insider - Issue 11
,----[ Quote ]
| Welcome to the first issue of AWN hosted on the official Amarok website. This
| makes it a bit more official, so I had to stop screwing around and at least
| drop the word "Weekly" from the name. So here it is, the Amarok Weekly
| Newsletter under its new name: Amarok Insider. Not weekly anymore :).

| What's New in HTML 5
|
| Some of the most interesting new features for authors are APIs for drawing
| two-dimensional graphics, embedding and controlling audio and video content,
| maintaining persistent client-side data storage, and for enabling users to
| edit documents and parts of documents interactively. Other features make it
| easier to represent familiar page elements, including <section> <footer>;
| <nav> (for navigation), and <figure> (for assigning a caption to a photo or
| other embedded content).

,----[ Quote ]
| But remember, that's not what Nokia is objecting to: they are arguing that
| Ogg is proprietary (it isn't) and that DRM should be part of a Web standard
| (it shouldn't).

Mozilla, Opera look to make video on the Web easier
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.

| YouTube. Independence! And all of this using Vorbis and Theora as the
| baseline codecs!
