Captain Picard, aka Sir Patrick Stewart, loves his iPhone :)
As some of you techies might already know, both Youtube and now Vimeo have just launched support for HTML5. Meaning that if you have a compatible browser like Safari or Chrome, you can watch videos on these sites without needing a Flash player.
“Who cares? What’s the big deal?” You say…
Well, the big deal is that playing video through HTML5 requires a lot less processing power than Flash, so slower processors (as in the iPhone or Netbooks) can run web video smoothly and without using as much delicious battery juice.
Is it a coincidence that these two major video sites are releasing this feature one week before Apple is about to make some big mysterious announcement? I think not.
I’ll leave the detail speculation to the rest of the interwebs. For me, I’ll just wait patiently to see what happens next week.
Vision of the future.. according to Microsoft.. only fewer crashes.
“Avatar: Making of a Bootleg”… at least as entertaining as Avatar.
Oops, looks like the MAX ticket machine uses Windows.. why oh why?
I saw Tropic Thunder shortly after it came out, but just recently I watched the fake documentary “Rain of Madness” about the production of the film within Tropic Thunder. Yes, a fake documentary about a fake film… confusing if you haven’t seen Tropic Thunder. Suffice it to say that this doc is purely hilarious and in my opinion, much much better than the actual film. Especially if you like the films of Werner Herzog, as the style parodies his work perfectly.
The doc now comes with the Tropic Thunder DVD and is no longer on iTunes, but you can still watch a low quality version on Veoh.
Shot a timelapse of the Portland sunrise this morning with my iPhone iTimelapse app.
Matrix scene done with Legos… really well done.
