Steve Clayton “Geek In Disguise” has a post up about something very cool.

Well, I’ve got no idea what it is - there’s an embedded video of some sort from (I believe) Brightcove - but it has… “issues”. 

The first issue I encountered was that it complained about the connection speed.
Work’s connection isn’t that bad, depending on the site I can pull down 50-100K/sec from most well-connected US Sites. 900K/sec+ from Australian sites isn’t unheard of either.  (Using a Speed-Test site I get between 4Mbit and 6Mbit down - which isn’t bad.)

The the other major issue is that it crashes Firefox (latest release) randomly. Loading it up in Internet Explorer 7 I just get a spinning “Loading Video” icon for something over 5 minutes (I wasn’t prepared to wait longer).

It’s also difficult to find out what Steve is referring to - since he just links to the RSS feed for the Business Two Zero blog - no descriptive text, nada. Perhaps Steve is referring to the Multi-touch screen?

These issues aren’t Steve’s fault - but by not providing any helping text, made it inaccessible to someone who can’t see/use the video.

Aside from that - Steve’s blog is generally pretty cool… just, this once thing annoyed me I’ve had a few of these Brightcove embedded videos show up in my Google Reader recently, both times resulting in a lockup and crash.
