Isn't it interesting how, caused by our inability to directly embed video onto websites, we are basically forced to reinvent video codecs in Javascript?

This basically means that on most mobile devices, instead of a hardware-accelerated decompressor, a slower, more CPU-consuming Javascript VM is in charge of video.

While technically impressive, I would much prefer the possibility of directly embedding (and controlling) real video.
