Video via javascript? Advertisers must love the idea of this. I hope that there will be a way to turn this kind of thing off.

I don't want to use NoScript, but I feel like my hand will be forced.
I believe sound is disabled by default - makes it honestly not very different than an animated GIF from an advertising perspective.
The nice thing about Firefox is you can stop animated GIFs by hitting ESC. There is also an about:config setting that will turn them off as well. I personally find animated/video graphics annoying when trying to read.
this Remote X reinvented. what would be rendered via opengl in the server display gets sent to the client and is rendered there.

of course im taking this out of my arse from just watching the videos with maya running in a browser.
