don’t hate… being as seasoned and veteran as you, you should realize that rather than simply using the web to watch the view, my point is that the multimedia is HOSTED and running across a web connection… download that .wmv file and then OPEN IT OFFLINE. that leads me down my next path of argument is that everything under the sun needs to use the web to talk to a mac… rpc over http was created for such instances… hell mac doesn’t have an imap client for mail still… fat clients forced to use webdav to talk to servers :bowrofl:
simply put, macs are stand-alone workstations not meant to participate in a network… even the founder doesn’t support the hype:

Well considering it is an actual link to a WMV file, it is being played by a browser plugin, the same media player that one would use to play offline files.
So there would be no difference if i saved it or watched it through safari.
