Weekly Tech Wrap-up

wtwu

It’s that time again, time to review some of my cherry picked smaller stories of the week for those that might have missed them. This time round we’ve got an Adobe Flash update that doesn’t suck. OK, sucks a little less. Flash 10.1 beta was unleashed to the willing public with GPU video acceleration for certain Nvidia cards on Windows, but perhaps more importantly reduced CPU usage across all platforms. What does this mean? YouTube that doesn’t make your Mac or PC red-line that’s what. A step in the right direction Adobe, maybe Flash isn’t a lost cause after all.

Choose Your Own Adventure Books Meets YouTube

YouTube Preview Image

This creative choose your own adventure video on YouTube, by SpecBox, has combined indie short films with the power of YouTube annotations.  The plot of the short film is simple.  An online gamer is obviously obsessed with a certain online role playing game.  It is up to you to choose how you would like to see the destruction of his computer play out.  I do hope there are more films like this from SpecBox or other creative YouTubers to make videos more interactive.

YouTube users protesting new widescreen viewer

/facepalm. Seriously people? Seriously? According to TrendsUpdates, dedicated YouTube users are protesting the new widescreen player. The new YouTube widescreen player was quietly introduced recently without any bugs.

First it was the big UI change of Facebook that people protested, now this.

*gets on soapbox*

PEOPLE OF THE INTERNET. Change happens for a reason. A lot of thought are put into web technologies. If you can’t handle these progressive changes please choose between not logging on or limit your internet viewing to MySpace.com. Both options assure no progressive UI changes will occur in your daily internet surfing.

*steps down*
