If this is a glimpse of the future - I am happy to stay in the present. I think that it is ridiculous that people are exited or even impressed by something that has been possible of 8 years via flash or silverlight (now JavaFX 2.0). OHHHH NOOOOOOO a PLUGIN to the browser???? this HTML5 thing is sooo much better because it does not require a plugin. OK better? in what way? Now instead of having to update that plugin every 2-3 months, you will now be updating your entire browser every 2-3 months and will be benefiting from slower moving, less innovative standards based technology. Open standards are the communism of the web. They promise to put everyone on a level playing field, but do nothing except hold innovation back. They take the entrepreneurs out of the tech innovation space and force everyone to simply try to hack their 'standard' to try to make possible (or palatable) what can already be done in another technology like Flash, Silverlight or JavaFX 2.0.
