Firefox will introduce Ogg support for audio and video
Markus Thielmann — Mon, 2008-07-28
If you're using a linux distribution, Ogg FLAC/Vorbis or Ogg Theora support is already available to you.
Today, Mozilla employee Christopher Blizzard announced, that (most likely) Firefox 3.1 will feature Ogg audio and video support for all platforms.
This is a huge step for the Ogg formats, since neither Windows, nor Mac OS X come with Ogg support pre-installed.

Adobe updated the Linux Flash 10 Beta today.
Fortunately, they fixed the windowless mode, one nasty issue with the previous beta version.
Have a look at the new features and the list of fixed bugs of this release.
I updated my Personal Package Archive (PPA) accordingly. If you already added my PPA to your sources list, you'll get the updated flashplugin-nonfreebeta within the next upgrade.
