On: Russian Hackers Mod a Dilapidated Opel to Drive by iPad

Way to go Wired: the video refuses to play on a stock Chromium browser (no Flash).

Geez: is is that hard to serve videos in a HTML5 format recognized by a Flash-less Chrome browser? I mean: many websites seems to be doing it perfectly fine...

(btw I didn't pay attention before clicking: when I see Wired, CNN or Fox, for example, I'm never opening these links : )

Yes, it's hard. HTML5 standardized nothing but the tag. Each browser chose to support a different codec.
