Adobe wants to strengthen Flash and Flex’s position in the enterprise and especially in the mobile space. But a recent study shows that jQuery has overtaken Flash as a deployed web solution on the top 17,000 websites.

Flash Menu is unique website navigation, but not so popular in web design when compared with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) or JavaScript-based menus. We know that most people hate flash. The worst thing is, many people using Ad-Block or Flash Blocker installed on their browser, blocker applications work in the background while they explore your site without navigation. it’s pretty bad right?

If there’s one thing that Flash or internet does not lack is Flash Video Players. You can find them free, cheap, expensive and useless!

The problem (and the inverse) are those who make the difference and present us some applications like the one i’m about to show you. This is very impressive, the playback itself still probably will need some adjustments, changing some values will eventually make your browser freeze.

Ok, http://unitzeroone.com made this absolutely stunning Particle Video Player, do not stick with the videos presented by default, share and experiment with some Youtube Videos. The final result of this Video Player is quite cool. Of course in terms of usability might not be very interesting unless your making the new Radiohead Music Video.

Enjoy!
