Inside a Dead Skyscraper - A Music Video Game by Molleindustria + Jesse Stiles

Inside a Dead Skyscraper - A Music Video Game by Molleindustria + Jesse Stiles:

“Ideally, it is meant to be a critical answer to the proliferation of rythm games ‘a la Guitar Hero. These karaoke-derived products simply capitalize on already successful music, generating royalties for a dying record industry and reinforcing the mythology of the rock star as super-human that common people should identify with.

An alternative approach to the musical game form would link the independent music and independent games scenes. Indie music games could promote unknown bands to the multi-tasking, hyperactive, interaction-addicted new generations. They could enhance the listening esperience while being autonomous works as the best music videos have been done in the last 30 years.”

Great since day one

Great since day one:

The original iPhone was great on day one. It couldn’t do as much as today’s iPhone, but it performed its feature-set extremely well. There were almost no rough edges or unpolished areas in its hardware or software, and nearly everything seemed justifiable, well conceived, and well executed.

YouTube API Blog: Flash and the HTML5 tag:

The YouTube folk describe some of the challenges in using the newly HTML standard video embedding feature. I’m glad they’re supporting both Flash and HTML… the HTML version runs nicer in my laptop.

I wonder what the video landscape of the web will be like in the next 5 years, as 5 years ago, Flash video and YouTube were a new thing.
