Vimeo Now Adds HTML5 Player
As if to immediately follow suit, Vimeo announced yesterday that they were making an HTML5 player available. It is beta, possibly a step up from YouTube's 'experimental' player. (Knowing Google, experimental is RC material though.) There are some limitations with Vimeo's player as well. You must be using Safari, Chrome or IE with ChromeFrame [...]
YouTube Now Supporting HTML5 …Mostly
YouTube has announced an experimental version of an HTML5 supported player for their videos. Most of them, anyway. It doesn't support videos with ads, captions or annotations. It also requires that you're using a browser that supports the <video> tag, and h.264 encoded videos. So, Safari and Chrome work for this, as does Internet [...]
Set Up a Website For Free!
Well, sort of. If you have a Mac, and if you have iLife, you have iWeb. Most of you have probably at least opened up iWeb to see what it was all about, and maybe you've even created a website, but don't have anywhere to host it. Steven Sande, over at TUAW, has written an interesting article to get you over that last hurdle - hosting. You can [...]
Google Wave
I recently was fortunate enough to acquire an invitation to the Google Wave preview. It is still invitation-only (and no, I don't have any invites - yet), so unfortunately you can't just go and sign up right now. If you're patient enough, you can get your hands on an invite also - I see quite a few invites being handed out all the time on Twitter [...]
Google Wave
On May 28, Google unveiled their newest product, called Wave. I just finished watching the nearly 1 1/2 hour demo video from the Google IO event, and was impressed. Google has rolled email, instant messaging and online collaboration of documents into one nice package. This brief description doesn't give Wave justice, so following is a little bit [...]
3D Animations for Safari
I'm not sure how useful this will be, but you gotta admit it's pretty cool. I ran across an article at TUAW that talks about Safari's upcoming CSS 3D transform features. Charles Ying put together a demo of it. If you take a look at the article, you'll find out how you can install a Webkit build to experience the 3D prettiness on your own [...]
Google Apps Out of Beta
If you're anything like me, you love Gmail, and are growing to love the rest of Google's web apps - calendar, docs, sites, etc. Google officially announced on Tuesday that its apps are finally out of beta. Anyone that has used them for any length of time knows that according to 'normal' beta software standards, these apps have been out of beta [...]
Read your GMail Email Offline!
I've always thought GMail was pretty cool. Lately I think it's only getting better. I've moved my personal email domains over to GMail, and I haven't looked back. I know, I wrote about Zimbra a little while back, and it is still a great product. My needs, however, required hosting my email in a place other than an old server in another [...]
WordPress 2.7 Released
It was announced last Thursday, December 11, that WordPress 2.7 has finally been released to the wild. This is by and large a feature release and has nothing to do with bug fixes and the like. Anyone using WordPress will immediately notice a huge difference in the administrative area. Rather than try to explain everything in detail here, [...]
WordPress 2.6.5
WordPress today announced the availability of 2.6.5. It includes 1 security fix, and 3 bug fixes. I'm not necessarily one to advocate upgrading to the latest and greatest 'just because', but in instances where security fixes are involved, I'd recommend it. Recently a similar exploit was taken advantage of, and some of those who didn't [...]
