    Thanks to everyone for their advice. Upvotes to everyone for taking the time to respond. I like kls's approach, as it doesn't require me to explain a personal methodology for referring candidates to my HR department (as notaddicted's sugges

    I don't think anyone is claiming that "Flash became useless yesterday". hyperbolist was just offering an example of good-looking video via HTML5 to counter the claim that a world without Flash is a world in the dark ages of video.

    If this gains wide usage, it could be a boon to RSS adoption. Users could eventually learn to think of websites as collections of changing content, so they'll have less difficulty accepting the use case that RSS offers. Some people might ev
