Maqetta: Open Source HTML5 Editor From IBM

Posted by timothy on from the so-there-would-be-these-images dept.

PybusJ writes "IBM has released an online HTML5 editing tool called Maqetta, hosted by the Dojo Foundation. eWeek calls it an open source answer to Flash and Silverlight. That remains to be seen, but it does look interesting."

    Silverlight doesn't work on Linux. Which means they can add features like crazy, I'm still not interested.

    So, what can you not do with HTML5 that you can do with Flash / Silverlight?

    With HTML5, you can't lock yourself in to a big corporation's strategy for hating users in various ways.

    Damn you HTML5 for making things open!!! :-)

    If that's the case, then this is further proof that "cloud computing" is a load of bullshit.

    You're just figuring this out about "cloud computing"? Did you ever thing "cloud computing" was anything but a way to take away control from the individual? "Oh yeah, just put everything you are and do on some servers "out there". Why should you have everything that's of value to you where you can put your hands on it? It's more fun if you disperse it to the Cloud. And if you give me a hamburger today, I will gladly pay you back on Tuesday."
