hahahaahahhaha, this is up there with one of my favorite lines I've ever read in an article.
"Apple doesn’t like the proposed Ogg Theora codec and Opera and Mozilla don’t want to pay the license fees necessary to ship their browser with the H.264 codec. Google is implementing both, and Microsoft stayed largely out of the fray since it currently has no plans to implement the HTML 5 video element at all."

I really want to be able to figure out the best way to incorporate videos into sites without having to use Flash as a crutch. Or embedding from YouTube. Why is everything so friggin difficult?
