W3C 'clarifies' HTML 5 v XHTML
,----[ Quote ]
| Potential conflicts and overlap between the first update to HTML in a decade
| by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and XHTML has been addressed by the
| standards body.
|
| The group, meanwhile, has also acknowledged vendors are - once again -
| pushing their own platform-specific technologies, this time on RIA, with the
| standards process unable to keep up. This poses a problem on
| interoperability.
|
| [...]
|
| One of the main improvements over previous versions of HTML is the inclusion
| of multimedia features and a recognition that future web applications could
| be accessed from mobile devices. The importance of this was emphasized this
| week when Trolltech revealed that it had built HTML 5 audio and video support
| into its QtWebkit development tool.

Why Linux Users Should Be Furious At BBC
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently the BBC had a bit of a wake up call regarding numbers and how many
| Linux users were really out there. Why does any of this matter? It has to do
| with something the BBC provides called the iPlayer. Seriously, relying on
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| ActiveX is so "1990's" that it's painful, and as luck would have it, the
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| Linux users who wish to use this BBC player made sure that the BBC knew that
| they were making the sought after content inaccessible to those people using
| Linux.
|
| No iPlayer for Linux Users, But There Will Be An Alternative. Based on what I
| have been able to gather thus far, it looks like we will see an Adobe Flash
| option coming out soon. Then again, who really cares? Seriously, if the BBC
| is this foolish to ignore how much Linux growth is taking place both in the
| UK as well as the surrounding countries, then maybe people ought to be
| looking elsewhere? Is it because this is indeed, the BBC? So there is the
| belief that this is the people's media? Up until now, I enjoyed much of what
| the BBC had to offer, but this entire thing is enough to have pushed me away.
