Specifics:

Poster "dwasifar" says "I've had the same experience trying to watch the
Get A Mac ads on the Apple website", giving no details whatsoever.
Poster JimC says that at some point he ceased to be able to do
browser-inline playing using mplayer on SimplyMEPIS 7.0 and DreamLinux
3.2.  In both cases, the correct answer (given downthread) was "upgrade
mplayerplug-in" (or, of course, use any of a number of obvious other
ways to fetch and play an .mov file other than browser-inline using
mplayer).


> It sounds like you have issues with "devnet".  

Never met the man.  Just followed his and his friend "helios" online
from across the country for a couple of years.  I think their "Tux 500"
project did it for me, as it happens.

Anyway, don't do me any favours, bro.  I was just trying to save you and
others time that you might otherwise waste on a notorious loose cannon.
