Adobe adds Apple's HTTP Live Streaming to Flash Media Server.
Towes [Adobe] noted in a blog post that Adobe is adding HTTP Live Streaming support to Flash Media Server and Flash Media Live Encoder. "By adding support for HLS within the Flash Media Server, Adobe is reducing the publishing complexity for broadcasters who need to reach browsers supporting HLS through HTML5 (such as Safari) or devices where Adobe Flash is not installed."There are still a lot of difficulties in the streaming video world but this makes things a lot easier.
In other words, instead of trying in vain to persuade Apple to build Flash into iOS, or losing potential Flash Media Server customers to some other iOS-compatible solution, Adobe seems to be implicitly acknowledging that content publishers need Flash-free video streaming.

Streaming service buys DVDs, puts them in DVD players, and streams the video to subscribers.

AT&T introduces bandwidth caps for DSL. Unlike cable, the last mile isn't shared. (Coax goes to about 500 houses who share the allocated DOCSIS data bandwidth, sorta like a digital version of a party line.)
"Bandwidth hogs?!" 150 GB is three blu-rays. I've got 32 GB in my pocket, and I'm not even trying.
Time Warner streams to your iPad (in your house and provided you buy tv and internet from TWC). "HD" is 720p30.
My first impression of Quicktime 10.0 is that it can suck my salty balls. My favorite feature of Quicktime Pro, the ability to transcode to other formats, has been fuxored beyond all recognition. Boo!
Hey look, it's simpler now!
Simply lobotomized!
If you have Quicktime Pro, don't allow it to be "upgraded" away.
