This is one of the typical error messages when using Google Chrome.
I am guessing that Google Talk within the Gmail is using Flash, and it crashed for no apparent reasons that I could think of.
WebM QuickTime Component.
If you ever need to encode videos into WebM format, you can find the codec download at WebMProject.org.
I installed the WebM QuickTime component on my MacBook Pro and able to export to WebM format.
Currently I encode a lot of my videos into MPEG4 with h.264 codec.
Adobe Executives are really excited over RIM PlayBook and Motorola Xoom.
According to a highly unreliable source, Adobe Executives are really about either RIM PlayBook and Motorola Xoom. I would guess Adobe is excited about both products for one main reason: Flash Player.
I had a brief encounter with one of the Adobe Executives in 2010 and he was not a fan of Apple iPad at all.
We will see if both RIM PlayBook and Motorola Xoom can deliver great Adobe Flash experience.

Google to remove h.264 support from Chrome.
According to The Chromium Blog:
…we are changing Chrome’s HTML5 <video> support to make it consistent with the codecs already supported by the open Chromium project. Specifically, we are supporting the WebM (VP8) and Theora video codecs, and will consider adding support for other high-quality open codecs in the future. Though H.264 plays an important role in video, as our goal is to enable open innovation, support for the codec will be removed and our resources directed towards completely open codec technologies.
So will Chrome still support Flash Player? Flash Player is the container for many video formats including h.264.
Does this mean Google would not support non-open/proprietary codec like h.264 but support a non-open/proprietary container like Flash?

Let me emphasize that there will be no White iPhone 4 for now.
The White iPhone 4 on Verizon’s page is not really there.
Some people are pointing out that the much fabled White iPhone would be available for Verizon. A quick look at iPhone 4 information on Verizon’s page shows that the iPhone 4 will be available in Black and White.
Don’t get too excited yet, because Verizon page is merely linking to the old iPhone 4 info page. Apple has just updated iPhone 4 Tech Specs and Gallery. All references to White iPhone are scrubbed from the site.
As a matter of fact, if you look carefully the Cellular, Wireless and Location specs shows the UMTS/HSDPA only; n CDMA.
Captain Ahab is still hunting for the White iPhone 4.
