WatchClip: Jon Stewart on Dennis Miller on The O’Reilly Factor earlier this week:
Let me tell you something about Miller…Maybe the smartest guy that I’ve ever seen do comedy. We used to watch him in the old days…and just be sad. Like, he was the type of comic that could make you sad. His brain is that fast.

One that plays all media —- audio, photos, and video —- via HTML5 tags instead of through Flash wrappers? Audio/MP3 posts, for example, are simply embedded in Flash wrappers/players that could just as well be played via QuickTime/HTML5 using native controls.
Audio posts play fine on the iPhone using QuickTime, so they’re obviously playable without Flash.

Stone Temple Pilots - Sept. 4 @ Jones Beach →
Of all the bands to emerge in the alternative rock explosion of the early 1990s, Stone Temple Pilots might have been considered one of the least likely to be producing new music with its original lineup intact in 2010.
