[videoblogging] Microsoft Removes Internet Explorer's Click to Activate Annoyance
just saw this via drupal.org ... relates to video playback Begin forwarded message: Microsoft announced this week that they were going to stop purposefully breaking Internet Explorer's activex controls [12], rolling back the click to activate activex message that has been wasting the time and annoying the hell out of web developers for the past two years. According to the MSDN blog that announced the change this change won't require any actions on the part of developers: It’s important (and cool) to note that this change will require no modifications to existing webpages, and no new actions for developers creating new pages. We are simply reverting to the old behavior. Once Internet Explorer is updated, all pages that currently require “click to activate” will no longer require the control to be activated. They’ll just work. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/bb969055.aspx Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Microsoft vs. Adobe
http://gigaom.com/2007/04/15/another-fight-microsoft-vs-adobe/ Another fight Microsoft vs. Adobe Its the season to rumble! Microsoft has just launched beta of a new media technology called Silverlight that essentially is going to compete with Adobes Flash technology. Adobe, meanwhile has introduced Adobe Media Player, a standalone media player that can be perceived as a competitor to Windows Media Player. Microsoft has signed up MLB as a partner for Silverlight. Adobe is working with eBay, the Wall Street Journal says. The new media player is an effort by Adobe to capture some of the upside of the online video boom. It must tweak their melons that a company that used their Flash technology, aka YouTube got sold for $1.65 billion, and all they got was a proverbial T-Shirt! The media companies have a lot of questions about the other technology providers are they becoming media companies or becoming providers We are not a media company, Craig Barberich, group product manager for Adobe Dynamic Media Organization tells NewTeeVee. Thats a dig at iTunes as well, because AMP does mimic many of the video features of Apples digital media platform. Nevertheless, this promises to be a long bloody fight, though Adobe has an advantage, thanks to near omnipresence of Flash on all platforms. As an aside, this is a flashback moment from the 90s, when competing technologies vied for consumer affection but ending up causing more confusion. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117668634225970835.html http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2007/04/15/introducing-microsoft-silverlight.aspx http://newteevee.com/2007/04/15/adobe-media-player/ --- WWWhatsup NYC http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com ---
Re: [videoblogging] Microsoft orders you to change your web-pages
Actually, what we really need is SMIL support. i work with SMIL.if interested you can see SMIL being used to render 'vodcast playlists' on vlogdir.com.it converts RSS to SMIL, taking only the Quicktime compatible media enclosures (dependent on mime type specified in RSS at the moment) and inserting embedded hyperlinks to the permalinks (click the video). most vodcasts use quicktime compatible media (especially since the viPod came out) so this helps. As more people have better compressed mp4 video, i've even noticed buffer issues become less common. as much as i think smil is cool i'm also preparing an flv vodcast playlist generator, since this is a web based experience. sullOn 3/30/06, Charles Iliya Krempeaux [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello,On 3/30/06, Michael Verdi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=30643Does this affect videobloggers?

Re: [videoblogging] Microsoft orders you to change your web-pages
This is for real, I've been seeing the issue on some MSIE installs but can't seem to pin down why some browsers exhibit the 'Click to run an ActiveX control on this webpage alert and some don't. I have tested with the exact same versions on different machines and have seen different behavior. Here is Microsoft's official workaround: http://tinyurl.com/8ntst And here's some more info re: timetable etc: http://tinyurl.com/rb9lg Note, it's a problem not only with object tags but also embed tags and applet tags. And if users have a certain advanced checkbox unchecked (see the first url above) they'll see the alert anyway no matter what web page authors do (except force their users to use another browser of course).

Found on Slashdot... http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/22/2210229 Microsoft Chief Technical Officer Ray Ozzie said this week that his company is working on a new extension to RSS that would help users with different contact and calendar software and services synchronize each other's information. From the article: If this sounds familiar to those using IBM's Lotus Notes, it should.
