HTML5 on YouTube

Last week I noticed HTML5 feature in YouTube was made available to the public to try. Everyone now has the option to try HTML5 video instead of relying on Flash player to playback the video.

Your web browser must support HTML5 before you can try the HTML5 video on YouTube. Safari and Chrome are among the few that support HTML5 today.

I opted and am using the HTML5 version of YouTube. I like how it doesn’t hog my processor like how Flash did.

You can try HTML5 or visit TestTube to see other interesting features on YouTube, likely to be half-baked at this moment.

Aside from video, HTML5 offers a few more interesting and useful features. An article at ReadWriteWeb summed five neat features.

Our world, as seen in ’93

This advertisements were aired in ’93 for US telco company, AT&T. It tried to predict how the future is like from the perspective of end users like us back then in 1993.

Now we see most stuff featured in the video as something usual. We use it in our daily life to guide our way (GPS), to book GV movie tickets, to “meet” people at the other half of the world via teleconference, you name it.

If you haven’t seen another short video featuring stuff we’ll see in 2019, do check it out. It’s exciting to know there’s big possibility that those cool gadgets be part of our daily life.
