Steve Jobs passed away last week. The story is all over the news, and rightfully so! Steve Jobs impacted the world in significant ways, changing how we communicate, consume media, work, and even relate to each other.

Adobe MAX 2011 is going on, and while I'm not there, I've been keeping up with what's going on. One of the interesting things for us, the online video community, is Adobe AIR 3 and Flash Player 11. They announced that both are available as of 9pm last night. They also announced that LG and ...
With so many people getting news from so many sources, the giants of the medium have begun to lose a lot of their audience.

Adobe Air 3 and Flash 11 are set to bring 3D graphics to gaming (which I wrote up at GDN: Adobe Platforms Will Now have 3D Gaming Potential), but there is more to it than that. There are also some interesting video performance expansions and boosters in all this.
Late last week, Adobe released Flash Media Server 4.5, which will finally bring Flash video content to iOS devices. Can you hear the calls of "neener neener neener!" flying from San Jose to Cupertino? Maybe, instead, they'll make a video of the whole Adobe Flash developer team sticking their tongues out and waving their fingers, ...
Adobe is all about Flash, or are they? While supporting their existing products, they are also taking on an approach to allow it [Flash] to co-exist with HTML5.

This week we have an online video news round up first: I'm just as interested in catching up on the news as you are. I've been out of the country for about a week, and haven't had my usual leisure time to keep up to date with the latest video news. So I'll be using ...
We are happy to be the first to report that Microsoft now appears to be supporting HTML5 video emails in their Hotmail web client (provided what we're seeing isn't part of some beta test).

I like making money as much as the next guy, but the last three or four consulting clients all shared a problem so basic that I was almost embarrassed to take their money. Specifically, they came to me concerned about poor video quality, and the simple fact was that the data rate of their video ...
Being in the gaming industry as I am, there's no way to avoid NVIDIA when talking about graphics, 3D or GPUs and why would I? They make some of the greatest gear in the world in that regard. So when I happened upon an article that they were teaming up with YouTube to offer 3D ...
Of all the many ways to use video for business purposes, one of the more intriguing and exciting is video commerce: integrating video into our shopping habits. And I'm not talking exclusively about e-commerce, either, but also ways that video is being molded into our real world shopping experiences. Liveclicker is doing a lot of ...
