Canvas does bare-bones drawing all right, but it's nowhere near Flash in terms of being a featureful graphics engine for things like games. For instance, you can't really detect clicks on individual shapes, etc. Maybe I just need to wait fo

From one proprietary system to another. I wish HTML5 included a decent way to do the things that Flash excels at, like vector animation.

The description in the article makes both look ugly, because there isn't uniform line height. This might at least provide a slightly better visual comparison: This is a paragraph of text, and it continues onto the second line

A no-posting-ban would be way too strong for this kind of error. If we're going to make the distinction that something is old, first of all, pg ought to add better duplicate detection (I've seen cases where the same link can be submitted mu

Comments are invisible until the moment you need them. When you understand your code, you don't bother to read the comments. As soon as you forget how the code works, you look to the comments for direction. But if you didn't revise your com

Google doesn't have a monopoly in mobile phones, so the anti-competition laws probably wouldn't affect them much.

I fear that this show of support will only help in the short-term. I hope Rich can gather some sort of more predictable income, be it via solid corporate sponsorships and the like. Donations can be deceivingly flaky.

If Javascript obtains a standard library as comprehensive as Python's, then yes, Python would be in a tough spot. That is not currently the case.

Advertising through disabling features ? That's against Apple's (and Steve's) ethos. He wouldn't venture down that road. This is probably just to prevent competitors from doing that.

There are a lot of simple flash shims out there -- I'm using one for my app, with everything else written in javascript. For me, switching to websocket would be more or less ceremonial rather than practical.

Twitter can't fix this, unless the FB application is only using Twitter's authentication system to ensure it's properly linked. Facebook twitter apps can just scrape twitter for your most recent status update -- if that's the case, they d
