HTML5 can be great for the web. I for one would love to see mass adoption of HTML5 in all browsers and many sites. A non-flash youtube would make me incredibly happy. But alas the battle for open source continues.

Open source is great, but at the point where the licensing and patenting arguments get in the way of furthering computing I say screw it. Enough.

Basically it boils down to this: H.264 is the superior technical choice and logistical choice, while Ogg/Theora is the idealistic choice. Yes you can send me mail all day long about Theora can be just as grand looking as H.264 but out of the box support for H.264 is far higher. It is built into hardware and most modern operating systems ship with it.

To all those Stallmanites complaining that Apple has some devious plans: You are wrong. If you sold hardware that had built in support for a specific format, would you not stick with that format? Would it not provide the better experience to your users?

Ultimately it is about furthering computing, not waging some ideals war.
