I thought it was VHS, Dave!

Thanks for those thoughts everyone.

The full story is that the porn industry is throwing its weight behind Apple's version against Adobe Flash and the feeling is that the latter might be doomed as a result. It was the porn industry's preference for VHS that did for Beetamax and their disinterest in HD DV Ds that consigned them to oblivion. Where would civilisation be without porn , eh?
