Comprehensive review of the state of Internet video. Required reading for anyone who believes, like me, that HTML5 is poised to overtake Flash. There are a lot of hurdles to be cleared before that happens.

Slow and steady at best.

The best browser on the web gets it right, contra Gruber.

John Gruber explains why <video> isn't ready yet.

We're all over that HTML5 thing.

«It's official: Google is ditching its homegrown Gears offline web app API in favor of backing HTML5 for the win.»

«We wanted to provide a comprehensive references of elements that are new or have been redefined in HTML5, so we've created a glossary. We'll be adding to this in the coming weeks to make it more comprehensive.»

«Apple has a fair amount of video on their site, and now you will find it displayed via the video tag.» # Not a big change as they're still serving video via the Quicktime plug-in for non-Safari users, but even pushing the envelope slightly is encouraging for web developers.

«Over the last few months, as I've learned more about HTML5, I've wondered about the advantages that I might gain by using it. Recently I realised that the question shouldn't be why use HTML5 but why not? From what I've learned from reading and by talking to people, the only reason that I can find not to use it is that without JavaScript, HTML5's added elements (section, article, aside, figure etc.) cannot be styled in Internet Explorer.» # A look at what's possible now with CSS and HTML5.

«Have you ever wanted to do if-statements in your CSS for the availability of cool features like border-radius? Well, with Modernizr you can accomplish just that!»

"The premise of HTML5 is maddeningly simple. Over the last few years, it’s become painfully obvious that the elements, attributes and behavior described by HTML4 is woefully out of touch with how developers are using it. The approach, as best I can tell, is to describe a new set of elements, attributes and behaviors that will be woefully out of touch with how developers are using it ten years from now."

"We’ve had a number of people asking about templates, boilerplates and styling for HTML 5 so to give you all a helping hand and continue on from those basic building blocks that Remy talked about last week I’ve created a HTML 5 reset stylesheet for you to take away and use, edit, amend and update in your projects."

"That’s right - the player above is just a simple HTML unordered list that happens to include audio elements and is styled with CSS. You’ll notice that if you right click on one of them that it has all the usual items - save as, bookmark this link, copy this link location, etc. You can even poke at it with Firebug."

"It’s exciting to see Google betting the bank on HTML 5, but not entirely surprising. The company is in the web app business, so any technology that makes web apps faster, better and more useful is going to be supported — even more so if that technology is based on open standards and doesn’t require plug-ins or proprietary code like Flash and Silverlight."
