Microsoft Co-founder Sues Apple - Google and Facebook

Paul Allen, who co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates, sues Apple, Google, Facebook and eight other companies including YouTube, Netflix and AOL saying that they are using technology developed about a decade ago at his now-defunct Silicon Valley laboratory.

"This lawsuit against some of America's most innovative companies reflects an unfortunate trend of people trying to compete in the courtroom instead of the marketplace," a Google spokesman said

Microsoft Co-founder Paul Allen is a pioneer of computer software, he didn't develop any of the technology himself but owns the patents. We'll keep updating the post with more information as soon as we know! [via WSJ]

Youtube: HTML5 is not sufficient for our needs

HTML5 is becoming increasingly popular, especially in the video on the internet, and this has made me think for a move away from Flash. But if this is possible for some types of content and functions, not for other circumstances that features, for example, Youtube deemed essential.

Youtube does know, in fact, that despite the progress and the lightness of HTML5, Flash continues to play a key role in the distribution of video:

A site like YouTube should provide a good experience not only to viewers but also content creators. This is not just simply point your browser to a component video as it does with the tags for images, find and view the video. The video tag performs the basic issues and is making progress but does not meet all the requirements of a site like YouTube.

Users upload 24 hours of video every minute is important to minimize the formats to be supported, especially when you consider that for each format are offered several versions (360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p). We have movies encoded with the H.264 codec since 2007, using both the Flash Player, and for mobile devices such as iPhone and Android, a start playback of many videos about HTML5 browsers that support 'as H.264 Chrome or Safari.

Concerns regarding specific patents prevented some browsers support the H.264 and this in turn has prevented all'HTML5 have a standard format. We believe that the web needs a standard option for free, a format that not only solves the concerns with the licenses but that is also optimized to serve web video.

Flash remains irreplaceable at the moment for some functions such as running Encapsulation and embedding of videos in several sites, or simply to play videos in full screen.
