Couple Youtube questions. Shakiness feature and Adobe Flash.

Jul 12, 2012 9:09 AM

1. Adobe has announced that they will no longer create new versions of flash for Android operating systems. Ice Cream Sandwich is the last version that will be able to download Flash. If you install Jelly Bean (v4.1), you will not be able to use Flash. So my first question is how will you be able to view Youtube videos? Aren't those delivered using Flash?

2. I uploaded a video to Youtube yesterday that I took while handholding my phone. There was some shaking in the video. Youtube detected that shakiness and asked me if I wanted to fix it automatically. I said yes. First, that was a cool feature but when I look at the video now, it is free from shaking and there's some additional blurriness that I didn't notice in the original video. I'm assuming this is due to the removal of the shaking. Or, is it due to the MP4 to Flash conversion?

I was playing around with an idea just the other day. Total thought experiment.
What if Adobe comes out with it's own OS. If they drop support for iwhatever and Android could they be a late comer and dominate the market?
Are they being paid to only develop for one OS?
Will they allow google to develop a generic flash player?

Sorry OP no answers for you.

@cengland0 could it be we are to use the youtube app to watch videos on our phones.... my android browsers are not that good for youtube compared to the app.
With HTML5 there will be no need for flash perhaps they will move to a HTML5 format. Chrome on a PC supports HTML5. I have chrome beta on ICS.

part 2 My guess is you are correct. A blur is less strain then a jerk on the eyes.

I am not an expert just good at guessing?

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
