I would agree and HTML5 has expanded since then however, Flash has made major end-rodes in 3D and now Yogurt3D, Flare3D, etc; have made major advances in real-time 3D models and environments based upon the Molehill API . I don't see HTML5 being able to do this for some time if ever.
@fupeg, @reboog711 - This talk was written back in January of 2009, when the video situation on the web was different. Many aspects of this talk, including that, would need to be updated to reflect the current differences between HTML5 and Flex. Sorry for any confusion.
Funniest thing is that YouTube gave me the HTML5 version of this video -- which if you compare to Ms. Fox's slide about video, makes you realize how little she actually knows.
Exactly. She only mentions ogg and she even says that videos seen using the video tag will probably be in the ogg format. Firefox is the only browser supporting ogg. Chrome and Safari both support H.264. What makes it even funnier is that YouTube has been serving H.264 for quite a while, and when I watched the video, I got the HTML 5 version of YouTube serving the video of Ms. Fox in *drum roll please* H.264. Then you throw in that she actually works for Google, the company that owns YouTube...

@fupeg What was it on her video slide that made you think she didn't know what she was talking about?
The slide did say "ogg" w/o taking into account that Apple and Google are pushing the H.264 codec for HTML5 video.
