		<title>HTML5 video and codecs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
    Recently, Vimeo and YouTube announced that they were moving to support the HTML5 video tag, as DailyMotion did last summer. This is an important step in making video a first-class citizen of the modern web, and that is great news. Unlike DailyMotion, however, Vimeo and YouTube chose to rely on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>five by five, in the pipe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little more than eighteen-hundred days ago, I and many others held our breath as the much-anticipated Firefox 1.0 was released to the world.  A million downloads in the first week pushed our server infrastructure to the brink, and left me reeling: we had come so far from the days of Netscape 6 and [...]]]></description>

		<title>updating the update, as it were</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made an update to my WPF timeline post, but I wanted to make sure that the correction was seen by people who may not revisit that post.

The SRD blog post which revealed that Firefox users were also exposed to the IE vulnerability was published on Tuesday, not Monday.  The post is labelled as [...]]]></description>

		<title>update on the .NET Framework Assistant and Windows Presentation Foundation plugin blocking from this weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a fair bit of confusion circulating about what happened, and what&#8217;s going to happen next, which is understandable &#8212; it&#8217;s been confusing!  I&#8217;ll summarize here what happened, and what&#8217;s next.

Timeline

The add-on and plugin in question have a long and storied history, but for the events of this weekend the timeline basically starts this [...]]]></description>

		<title>update: .NET Framework Assistant (ClickOnce support) unblocked</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We received confirmation from Microsoft this evening that the Framework Assistant add-on is not a mechanism for exploiting the vulnerabilities detailed in the earlier post, so we&#8217;ve removed it from the blocklist.  As the blocklist update propagates to clients, the add-on should be re-enabled for users who had it previously enabled.

We&#8217;re hard at work [...]]]></description>

		<title>.NET Framework Assistant blocked to disarm security vulnerability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve previously posted about the .NET Framework Assistant add-on that was delivered via Windows Update earlier this year.  It&#8217;s recently surfaced that it has a serious security vulnerability, and Microsoft is recommending that users disable the add-on if they have not installed IE patch MS09-054.

Because of the difficulties some users have had entirely removing [...]]]></description>

		<title>thoughts on chrome frame</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Google announced Chrome Frame &#8212; a plugin for running their Chrome browser inside Internet Explorer.  Early response from web developers has been predictably positive: they&#8217;ve been suffering under the reign of Internet Explorer for years, and even in 2009 they have to deal with Internet Explorer 6.  I certainly share that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Is it really true that I only blog what&#8217;s too long to tweet now?  Need to think about what that means, but I&#8217;m already not sure I like it.)

From John, emphasis mine:

The reason we have a vibrant, open web today is because of millions of little decisions and contributions made by thousands of people [...]]]></description>

		<title>dealing with the .NET ClickOnce add-on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a number of people have reported, a recent update to Microsoft&#8217;s .NET Framework resulted in an add-on being installed into Firefox.  Shortly after this patch was released through Windows Update, we were in contact with Microsoft to see how to resolve this issue, as we were hearing directly and indirectly from users that [...]]]></description>

		<title>advancing open video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Video is a big part of the modern internet, whether it&#8217;s used to communicate, educate, or entertain my daughter.  We&#8217;re building robust support for video (and audio) into Firefox 3.1, making it straightforward for authors to incorporate audio and video media into their pages and applications.  We believe that it&#8217;s vital to the [...]]]></description>
