Once again I picked an article that discusses HTML5. I'm not gonna lie Im very intrigued on this topic. This article unlike the other one goes more deeper into HTML5 and how its more beneficiary and better than FLASH. The article talks about how companies, like Apple, Google, and a few others, are slowly trying to force HTML5 to become the industry standard for video streaming. They also took the time to explain HTML5 and how it works. They also take the time to explain the history of Flash and how it works and then compare and contrast the two. After reading this article your knowledge of HTML5 would have increased.

I think this article was really good. I've been having a lot of questions about HTML 5 and how it works. I also wanted to know why apple was pushing for a change. This is going to affect the World Wide Web and how we interact with video on it in the near future. I found the article truly amazing and is now a firm believer in HTML 5.
