fugyk | 11 years ago | on: YouTube now defaults to HTML5 video

Wow, I almost forgot that I was using HTML5 version of youtube as a preview. I am using HTML5 preview since day 1 and I don't remember any glitches or bugs. I wonder why this switch has taken so long given many upsides and no known downside.

The reason that I use C many of times is not because of its speed but because it (almost) completely reveals it inner working even when there is clear reason not to do so.

(1) Though it is bad for most of time but still I feel more contended sometimes with it, especially for complex code.

(2) Even if this transparency is at superficial level with optimising compilers, but there are very few high level optimisation applied to C code and that too in the form of loop unrolling, tail call optimisation, loop interchange etc.

I think integration with other Google products is the main reason they are venturing here. It can offer one click integration to google apps, app engine, cloud compute and blogger. If they offer free google apps for personal use, I think it can be a major selling point.
