At this time Yahoo engineer Jeremy Johnstone is my hero. Frustrated with the lack of HTML5 support Flickr on the web, Johnstone - whose position is now "Technical Yahoo " at Yahoo for Good team - decided to take the employer to the task, where else? In its vapor Flickr.
Johnstone today published the picture above, with the next pick.
"No Flickr, you are wrong. It is not necessary to install anything. I just need to use a different site to host my video that adequately support modern web technologies."
Flickr now HTML5 video support, but apparently only if it detects that an iPad. And although the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and even IE9 are compatible with HTML 5 (which do not require the installation of a plugin to see the video), people who want to watch videos on Flickr without having to download Flash are lucky . It's enough to make a technical Yahoo! go to Vimeo!
And yes I am pretty sure that this explosion is pure passion for innovation by Johnstone, and their loyalty to Yahoo (which owns Flickr) is clear - at least judging by what he did to his car.
