[HTML5 <video> tag] > Isn't YouTube moving over to that? Yes - but sadly this tag also allows other codecs than the "free ones" (in this context - "free" meaning more: "free of patents") - Youtube/Google seems to prefer H.264 (= patent-covered) more than Ogg-Theora as the "working default-engine" behind the video-tag. That means, that the Browser-Providers will have to buy licenses, to be able to make legal use of H.264 codecs directly in their deployed "default-binaries". And as it seems, Google does see a welcome occassion in that, to promote their Google/Chrome- BrowserEngine more - no problems for "rich Google", to buy these licenses - as well as for Apple (with their Safari-Browser), not to mention MS. Larger problems for smaller Browser-Providers as e.g. the Mozilla-Foundation or Opera, since their "money- background" is not that "powerful", to include these licenses in a "royalty-free-fashion" - as e.g. in our case - into the xulrunner-"runtime-environment", which is downloadable by any developer currently (for any purposes). YouTube (or streaming video-content generally) *is* definitely a killer application already today- and this topic is just another "front", where strategic decisions about the upcoming "standards" can become very important in the long run (for the "dominance" of the big players of course - as always).

They "get" it. <shrug> Google is not better than MS. And MS is clearly declining already (I think), but not Google (so far). At this time Google is more dangerous than MS. They want to take for them all possible business on the net. They want to be the only one for anything. And do you think they care about you?
