HTML5, Scribd e Microsoft

Após as explicações do Steve Jobs de porque o iPhone e iPad não suportarem Flash e sim o HTML5, principalmente por ser uma tecnologia ultrapassada e que onera muito o processador dos equipamentos, opinião também compartilhada pela equipe do Opera, a Microsoft anunciou que o IE9 já suportará vídeo em HTML5.

Ainda falando em HTML5, além do Vimeo, Youtube, New York Times e outros sites estarem mudando a tecnologia do site para HTML5, que podem ser considerados sites iPad ready,  site Scribd que utilizava flash para apresentação dos documentos compartilhados, agora está utilizando HTML5 apenas.

Microsoft sides with Apple, embraces H.264 as HTML5 web video standard - Boy Genius Report:
Outside of the debate on the future of Flash and Flash video on the Internet is a separate but related battle over the video standard that will be supported by HTML5. On one side of the battle line is Firefox and Opera which has pledged support for the Ogg Theora video standard, and on the other side is Apple which has been pushing for H.264. Apple is no longer alone in this fight and now has an unlikely ally in Microsoft which announced on Thursday that IE 9 will support H.264 for HTML5 video. Ogg supporters are understandably disappointed with this decision as the two computing giants may now have the combined power to squash Ogg Theora support in these other browser platforms. Look for things to get messier before they get better as Google is expected to debut its own On2-derived V8 video protocol at Google I/O next month.

Scribd picks new Web technology over Flash - CNET News:

In one of the clearest examples so far of just how much Flash is threatened by next-generation Web technologies, Scribd, a service for hosting and sharing documents online, is moving to a future that doesn't require Adobe Systems' plug-in.

"After three years of building on Flash, Scribd is starting over and moving everything to HTML5," said Scribd co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Jared Friedman in prepared remarks for a speech at the Web 2.0 Expo. "I think it's the largest deployment of HTML5 to date, and it's a bet-the-company decision for us."
