Scribd adopting HTML5 surely means further trouble for Flash! After Steve Jobs’ rationale (read rant) about Flash, and a genuine wide-spread enthusiasm/ adoption for HTML5 (like YouTube) and it’s potential ubiquity; the odds seem to be stacked up against Flash. HTML5 seamlessly integrates into the browser as it is a part of the browser functionality and hence feels much more light-weight than a browser-supplement like Flash.

I guess, it’s time to change the hack that improved our browser experience to a full-fledged solution. I hope, among other things, that HTML5 removes Flash related inconsistencies while watching videos within a browser in Linux.

Back to Jobs and Flash. Anyone remember the Reality Distortion Field?  The stuff he tries to make us believe! :)
