The other day my wife wanted to show me a movie trailer. I got excited when I realized the video was being shown using in a Java applet. But my excitement turned to dismay when I got the security challenge: "This applet was signed by Vividas..." then "Click Trust to run this applet and allow it unrestricted access to your computer". This doesn't happen to me when I watch flash videos online...
My question for the group: is the applet sandbox really insufficient for an applet like this to show a video? Or is it just sloppy coding on the applet developer's part? It's my belief that things like this are one reason why applets have a bad name.
