HTML 5: Features you want desperately but still can’t use
Speaker: Ian Hickson As the HTML5 effort reaches its first big milestone — feature completeness — browsers are starting to implement it. It will be years before you can rely on HTML5 support when writing Web pages and applications, but you can start to experiment today to get a feel of what the new standard offers. This talk will explore some of the most recent implementations of HTML5 features.

I’ve been impressed with my experience of YouTube’s HTLM 5 beta so far..
I’ve had non of the annoying stuttering problems that crop up with using Flash, & videos seem to load at a much steadier rate.
There is still a way to go before it rivals Flash for video image quality but i’d rather have a video that plays when i want it to as opposed to a video that plays when it wants to.
5 misconceptions about HTML5
most of which were garnered from these very forums!

if you agree or disagree please let me know, leave a comment, no registration is needed
until that license expires, which it does here soon. But thats not the point, we need OPEN STANDARDS for an OPEN web…
Here are the facts about the h.264 codec, end users don’t pay for it, neither video uploaders nor viewers
Free internet video (like youtube) pay barely anything for it
Browser vendors on the other hand do pay for it which is why Mozilla wont play ball
The patent is held by a group of companies including Apple, Sony and Microsoft.
I was shocked to find this out too, please read the full article as there seems to be a lot of confusion over the matter

The iPhone and iPad doesn’t run Flash , but what does that have to do with HTML5 ?
The ideas behind HTML5 were pioneered in 2004 by the WHATWG
Who is WHATWG ?
The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group
The WHATWG was founded by individuals from Apple, the Mozilla Foundation and Opera Software.
That’s right Apple is pushing this, and Google on the other hand just want a new way to put more advertising on the web , and HTML5 is a perfect tool for pushing Cloud Computing.
HAHAHA
you are no animator, kid.
html5 probably could do it… but it would be such a pain in the ass to work with. It would take a computer programmer to make something, and usually… they aren’t as creative as designers. I don’t see who their market is…
yea…
Has anyone watched this WHOLE video?
Lol.
Loving Html5 btw.
HTML 6 is ages better
frustrating? mate you have no idea!!!
I know I was just daydreaming … but I hate having to optimize the sites for IE due to the lack of compliance with standards. M$ is always years behind standards, they seem not to care about them and create they’re own (just like they did with DirectX). I hate it when I do a CSS and it shows identical on Firefox, Opera and Safari and having to use “hacks” to make it look the same on IE.
PS: It must’ve been frustrating arguing with hardheaded corporate morons.
dont get me wrong I’d love to see everyone do this
but it’s not just the big sites, not one commercial enterprise will do it I guarantee you, they won’t lose so many visitors and thus so much profits because of some crusade about browsers however righteous it may be
The fact is they just don’t care and in fact I worked at Cadbury they specifically designed their sites to work in IE, Christ knows why and I argued till I was blue in the face but it just goes to show
Everybody will loose 60% of the visitors on a short-term basis, but the users will eventually realize (if most of the sites they use tell them to switch to another browser) that IE sucks and probably switch. The problem is convincing big sites like YouTube, MySpace or Facebook to do this….
That’s a great idea but no one’s gonna have the balls to cut out 60% of their visitors…
Frankly it should just be made illegal!
hell yeah! I cant stand using ie on my friend’s computers it makes me feel all virusy….well so does windows but thats another story
@warty4ev3r … Every web-designer/developer makes fun of Internet Exploder we should all just stop making sites compatible with IE and put a big banner visible only on Internet explorder “This site is not compatible with outdated browsers, try Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera or Safari”… lol
nice article, I agree with ur stance in that HTML 5 -if executed properly- should be a unifying force rather than just chucking more on the pile, let’s hope the mess with the codecs gets sorted out soon!
alot of people are concerned and believe that it’s just gonna be one big mess, I must confess this video got me kinda excited!
I discuss this video in my article tulesblog (dot) (com), would love to hear peoples responses on the subject and what is the right attitude to take to the upcoming standard
I’m a reviewer of HTML5… First test big fail…. takes years to load a video in a slow connection
(not this video, a short 30 second video)
For online video it may change but that does not mean the end of flash. flash is an animation tool.
Adobe is not removing flash so don’t listen to that bs flash is used in so many ways and it is always improving. flash animation movies, cartoons, design
@ComradeSlice Yeah man, some people don’t get it! Don’t understand the Art of Developing in Os X
@batitombo. I don’t know why people voted you down but I gave you a thumbs up. I’m a MacOS X programmer. Darwin based platforms like MacOS X and iPhone OS are the only one’s I’ll ever use.
@frameflow
So they are all cartoon made in Flash the program… Look up “Flash CS5″ Google it and see what it is…
