Honestly, out of all the HTML5 > Flash rhetoric, this probably represents the greatest leap forward when comparing the two. It was really the ability to capture webcam data that made YouTube a success in the beginning. People who look at the YouTube HTML5 player and say, "Flash is dead!" seem to forget this valuable point.
