What about the fact that while Apple was desperately trying whatever it can to screw everyone (developers, businesses, publishers, advertisers and even its own customers) and destroy the web, Adobe has been laughing all the way to the bank by imposing its Flash Platform as the #1 application development platform that allows us, developers to build once and deploy everywhere? What about the fact that the mobile market is not driven by devices or platform or carrier but by us, application developers? Whoever controls apps controls the market. What about the fact that Steve Jobs attempted to kill Flash not because it is outdated but because it is too good and a threat to Apple's "divide and rule" strategy and a direct threat to iTunes and AppStore? What about the fact that the European Competition Commissioner gave Steve Jobs a reality check by constraining Apple to reverse its change of TOS aimed at blocking the port of Flash application to iOS? What about the fact that FTC constrained Apple to approve Google Voice? What about the fact that Steve Jobs was recently ordered to testify in an ongoing antitrust lawsuit over iTunes which might very soon blow up to his face? What about the fact that yet another investigation is around the corner over the Apple Tax and the in-app / subscription scam? What about the fact that Apple broke its teeth trying to twist our arms (developers) to build for Apple first and Apple only? Even pushing as far as requiring us to develop on a Mac until the EU got involved? What about the fact that the ban of Flash in the browser is now back firing and making Apple's devices ridiculously "has been" and isolated Apple in its corner? What about the fact that the entire industry rallied behind Adobe? That is what you get when you f*%ck with everyone and think you are so big that you can get away with it... Apple is big but not as big as the rest of the business and development world determined to bring it down as much for its arrogance and big mouth CEO than for its market advance or temporary dominance? What about the fact that Apple's PR department is so desperate to keep the face that they try to reverse the situation and make everyone believe (something they are champion at) that they won the war? What about the fact that Flash's mobile adoption is 2011 is going over the roof? What about the fact that no Flash in the browser is the #1 customer complain from iPad owners? Apple as we know it today is dying, long live the open web and multi screen apps. This is a blog post I wrote on Apple's war on Flash last year: http://applesucks.squarespace.com/blog/screw-you-apple-there-will-be-a-quarter-billion-flash-enable.html Well, what about the fact that Apple has been so desperate to maintain its artificial dominance (entirely due to the fact they got on the market first) by having anti competitive, illegal and arrogant behaviors?

AKA what if Flash could play m3u8 files with no performance hit (noting you could write your own decoder/encoder for TS to FLV). This would help the companies that are doing several cameras on large events.

It's ridiculous that popular blogging platforms such as arstechnica allow their bloggers to publish such ridiculous articles. Chris Foresmac, MG Sielger, and Jesus Diaz are sensationalist blogger who belong on tabloid blogs. Their content taints the publishers they write for. Great analysis.

My take on the Adobe announcement was that it will make it easier for us to support sending video to iPad with our FMS based service. As it stands at the moment, we have no fallback with our vod collection. Adobe needed to add this support or have FMS get left behind to wither and fade away. Epic post, Robert.

The page isn't very descriptive on the details of the video encoding process. Do you know how their software works? Seems like it _is_ a streaming server.

The german guys from onlinelib.de developed a streaming protocol that works that way. Iam not a streaming expert to understand every feature, but the demo worked fine on my mac book as well on my ipad and iphone. http://onlinelib.de/Streaming_Solutions.html best tome hi rob,
