Living Room / Desktop vs. Web Debate
« on: November 22, 2010, 09:03 PM »
Hey, let's start a fight and open some wounds~! :P
:onfire:
In the past I've been averse to moving things to the web, but I think I'm softening quite a bit.
While the desktop is still king over a lot of things, I feel like it is slowly losing ground.
The entire "boot from the web" stuff is still nonsense at the moment, and I think it will remain nonsense for a long time to come. Mostly because of Internet infrastructure requirements just aren't there.
But I keep seeing things that really make sense on the web.
While Flash is still the defacto video method, Silverlight video is far better, and we have yet to see what HTML5 will afford us.
It just seems like there is a lot more that's viable on the web than there was 5 years ago.
Ok, I suppose them's not really fightin' words, but I tried. :)
