this is not always the case especially if flash is involved


regarding the technology: that's one place where a small company with limited resources has to make some practical decisions. It can cost a lot of money to support every platform, even technologies that are on the way out.

My son is of the opinion that Flash's shelf life is winding down. Steve Job's adamant decision not to support it in Apple products has led many innovators to steer clear of it for new projects.

My son has selected a streaming technology that is quite new, and therefore not fully supported on all browsers yet. His thinking is that...

1) new web standards (keyword being "standard" as opposed to "proprietary"... Flash is proprietary), are eventually supported across the board. His decision was to build the site with technology that uses the latest greatest STANDARDS and will be around for a long time

2) there are already browsers that support the new technology... we're trying to find out a comprehensive list so we can make that info available on the splash page.

Its worth mentioning that Google is a web-based company. They live, breathe and feed off the internet, and they make it a point to keep on top of every new protocol.

So its safe to say that google's CHROME browser will be the one we recommend. So far we have had nothing but good luck with Chrome.
