The Flash 9 beta is out for linux (came out a couple
days ago)
and while I don't do Youtube in the browser, it seems pretty
good for everything else.
doesnt work on x86, or ppc, or MIPS, or freeBSD etc...yawn
luckily nobody is insane enough to make entire sites in Flash (eg FLEX) so greasemonkey
hacks will let the rest of at least view 'tv 2.0'
I think as long as Adobe feels the
GNU guys nipping at their heels with Gnash, they'll keep the
Linux plugin updated
i don't really understand this one... they win either way, as youre using their
format. its even less effort on their part if gnash worked great and people stopped
bothering them about a working plugin..
As for Youtube being Napster.... Napster had no way to remove
songs that the music industry claimed were infringing.
GooTube has a large collection of partnerships with the major commercial media firms.
expect to see the content remain, and those companies to be subsidized by the ads..
