you say Beta I say VHS, you say HD-DVD I say BlueRay

Interesting news  albeit somewhat off topic.  I was too young to live through the beta/vhs wars and really appreciate as a technologist what was occurring, but given I only recently sold my semi=pro Sony Beta SP player I understood the difference in quality ...

Might we be seeing a similar story play out, with HD-DVD regaining ground against BlueRay due to higher device costs?

Which leads to my original thought, I wonder what the OEM / Device markets reaction of Flash having H.264 support, could it lead to more embedded Flash runtimes for set top boxes, DVD / hard disk recorders ? not sure but it's sure exciting to think about it.

I'm not sure what the hold-up is... maybe they have re-thought their stance on how this is going to actually make the company any money. Or perhaps their lawyers pointed out the liability of providing agents a platform to stick their feet in their mouth. Whatever it is, it's hardly something I'd claim as being "Well done".
