slashdot focuses mainly on the us, but i'd like to see statistics of their userbase... i wouldn't be surprised that alot of users are from other countries, as google would seem to indicate: http://www.google.com/trends?q=slashdot.org
I guess innovation is dead, cause, you know, we have things. N'stuff.
HTML 5 replacing Flash is like Linux replacing Windows on the home and home office desktop. Windows works well enough, and people know Windows. Flash works well enough, and people know Flash. So a mass switch isn't likely to happen anytime soon.
i guess you're right, but the web is a very different playground. there isn't just one mainstream system almost everybody is aiming at (windows), but an array of browsers AND content providers who don't have or want to play nice with microsoft.
like i said earlier in this thread, once google will leverage their user base to use html5 (which they are supporting) everybody suddenly has a need to use html5 browsers. gmail already went from plain html to great ajax stuff and left hot/livemail looking like crap (even after the remake)
remember: microsoft, like any company, has plenty of succeses that eventually failed. encarta comes to mind
google is already creating html5 sites for alot of their products (like gmail, gdocs, gcal en youtube), and their user base is massive. that might be what ms needs to finally implement html5. in ie8 they also got with the program and had pretty good html and css standards support.
the problem you point out for the tag is valid (ogg theora vs h.264) but browsers can also handle more than 1 image format for . i'm also not aware of sleeper patents or other problems with the use of the proprietary jpeg format
It's in the nature of things to become more fragile the more versatile they get.
Actually, it's in the nature of/. to consider a random poll on joystiq (which could easily be hijacked by say, ps3 fanboys or MS haters) and unverifiable data from google trends as irrefutable proof of increased E74 errors.
don't forget the ring of death and all those broken discs we made up... because microsoft always makes quality products!

Even though I own multiple Apple products I would rather see DOJ bust Apple's balls than MS. At MS doesn't dictate whose machine I can run their OS on
...as long as it's Intel x86 or x86-64... Microsoft and Intel are like a evil couple

That Microsoft Shared Source License is open source, but not free software. You may look at the recipe, but you can't bake the cake...
