my quick thoughts on the apple ipad
via apple.com
everyone is giving their thoughts on a device that almost no one has seen in the flesh yet. will it succeed or fail? beats me, all i can say is it's gorgeous and i can definitely see a use for it in my home. after watching the keynote last night, i wanted to catch up on my feeds and see what had been written about the ipad etc. as i sat on my couch it would have been the perfect device to do so.......
oh, and closed vs open? in a device like this, i like the closed platform. i will sacrifice a little extra functionality for the user experience i assume it will provide (similar to the iphone). then again, i can't understand why people jailbreak iphones, so i'm probably not the target market for hating on closed systems. ;)

youtube's new html5 video and quality
i'm extremely pleased that youtube have decided to implement html5 video (via a beta program). being a mac user, there is nothing i hate more than flash. it's just an awful, awful thing.
however i was disappointed with the quality of the html5 versions of videos compared to their flash equivalents. i decided to screen shot both of them and post the results here. the video is the excellent portal typography version of still alive that i linked to a few days ago. the first image is the flash version (480p, not the hd 720p version0 and the second is the html5 h264 version.
pretty clear results as best as i can see.

a tool to deceive and slaughter

this is a piece of art that simply lists itself on ebay every 7 days. if you win the auction, it's yours but for how long is dependent on when it's next sold. interesting concept.
