Er, how is that true exactly? All my Flash sites also use jQuery, while most sites don't (and didn't) need advanced Flash features while jQuery is still used because it simplifies AJAX calls. How does that statistic say anything about HTML5

Make an ultimate MBP by _removing_ things? I think not. I think the author really wants to have a MacBook Air and not a Pro. If anything, the Pro needs better screens (1440+ matte on 13" please), USB 3.0 support and more powerful hardware t
