HTML 5 Canvas Experiment Hints At Things To Come
An anonymous reader writes with an interesting and impressive demonstration of modern browsers' HTML 5 capabilities. "From the 9elements blog: 'HTML5 is getting a lot of love lately. With the arrival of Firefox 3.5, Safari 4 and the new 3.0 beta of Google Chrome, browsers support some great new features including canvas and the new audio/video tags. [...] We've created a little experiment which loads 100 tweets related to HTML 5 and displays them using a javascript-based particle engine.' The site warns "(beware: sophisticated browser needed)"; Firefox 3.5 seems to work fine.

You might want to reconsider your OS of choice. It is smooth as silk on my 24" iMac 2.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB ram running 10.5.8 in Safari 4.0.2
Alternatively, you could consider using a newer build of Firefox.

shut the fuck up. You got safari and it does webkit too. What would a whiny fan boy like you want with Chrome on OSX? So you can complain about how it doesn't complete the apple experience of some bullshit. Perhaps Google is tired of Apple and their fan's shit. Your precious religion bans Google Voice from the iphone and you expect them to whip up a browser for you guys? If you guys weren't eunichs i'd swear you guys had brass balls.
Awesome? Could somebody verify this runs under IE8, IE7 and IE6 ? If the answer is nope, then this functionality is exactly "vapor-web", albeit aspirational.
That's nice. Fuck them. If they want to live in the past and use ancient software, they really can't bitch about incompatibilities. There's absolutely nothing preventing them from upgrading to IE7 or 8.
5 out of 20 people in my old guild of WoW have had their account stolen because of this...
Wow, that's almost as bad as 1 in 4!!!
