That is what makes WebRTC interesting, just test it on a few differrent browsers to see how they handle the rest of your code. Nothing platform specific, done.
Most of these organisations don't get to compile their own, they get the source and the binaries seperately AND I wouldn't be surprised if it only compiles with the Microsoft toolchain.
I meant, what end user operating system or would not include a browser (or a webruntime) these days ?
Probably suicide for a device operating system if you want want any traction in the marketplace.
Currently, for many people the TV and the car do not yet include a browser or webruntime, but that is changing. An example is Automotive grade Linux. The user-facing applications are HTML5-apps.
There haven't been as many pure Javascript/HTML/CSS security bugs, in comparison, it's almost always plugins.
Also browsers (atleast Firefox ans Chrome) get frequent updates.
The installed base of ChromeOS isn't miniscule anymore. Supposedly 1 in 5 of US schools districts now have ChromeOS as their primary digital student device.
So it will be interesting to watch ChromeOS security track record in the coming years.
Also: A platform that does not have an Internet connection and a browser is a dead platform. Javascript is large part of the web. I don't think you can turn it off. Maybe there will be a noscript for the average user some day ?
An improved Content Security Policy or similar would really help though to prevent x-site problems, but those are different problem that don't infect the host system.
A Linux-exclusive release combined with a release of SteamOS/SteamBox (and other OEMs with SteamOS compatible/certified hardware) and maybe a SteamController or others is much more likely.
So people will be able to buy a console and game.
The game will also run on regular Linux desktop. Depending on your choice of hardware it might not run as well though.
Building for native is still pretty expensive in comparison to build a website or app.
I'm also seeing a lot of development with micropayment systems, which can make the appstore less relevant.
This battle between open web and native isn't done yet.:-)
The web still has advantages: for example have you tried searching the app store for keywords you search for on the web ? Did you find the information that you needed ?

No, but it was more secure than IE at that time.
Supposedly only ones per site.
So where do you intend to go ? It won't be Chrome, because they've already said they'll remove the complete plugin API.
I don't know why you want to cry over Firefox, it's Chrome that started with saying they'll remove the Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI) first.
At least in Firefox the API will remain longer and if you need it you'll be able to enable it on a per-site basis.
It's on the list/planned to add eventually:

Chrome ? I wouldn't count on that:
"By the end of 2014 Google intends to completely remove the Netscape Plug-in API."

Funny thing is IE11 is the most standardscompliant version of IE ever made. It actually works very much like other browsers.
There will be many websites that IE-workarounds that should not apply to IE11, but they might be used because IE11 is detected as IE.
They actually try to look more like non-IE-browsers so IE11 can finally be a non-workaround browser like all others:

Most businesses are doing it wrong.
Instead of moving smart people from being productive to management-type functions and get payed more, they should pay the more productive people more.
As Gabe Newell from Valve puts it: Management is a skill, not a career path.
Most of these organisations don't get to compile their own, they get the source and the binaries seperately AND I wouldn't be surprised if it only compiles with the Microsoft toolchain.
Good luck with that.

We should ask the AI and robots to maintain it.

I think it should be possible these days to make a good online editor in HTML/JS for print. It would need version control, maybe even live editing.
There could be some money to made with this.
It will be a lot of work, so who will do the work ?
Maybe it needs to be embeddible ? So it can run on the site of the editor or something like that ?
I've never used something like Google Docs, how well does it handle these things these days ?
The PDF format itself is just as much a broken format as Word.
I've never seen an Ubuntu phone, but I do believe it has 2 seperate UI's with the same colours and effects.
While Windows 8 has a desktop UI and a non-desktop UI on the desktop.
And many apps are build with webtechnologies.
Building for native is still pretty expensive in comparison to build a website or app.
I'm also seeing a lot of development with micropayment systems, which can make the appstore less relevant.

If I'm not mistaken most of the money for subsidies for being among the first to build these kinds of power stations came from Europe, not Spain.
So I think this is probably good for Spain, a way to create jobs.
The summary also talks about first with storage ?
There are lots of those around:

Wasn't it in one of the plants in the Andalucia region of Spain the first that provides electricity for 24 hours a day in 2011 ?
My guess is SSH is in good shape because it gets the most updates.
That really in the long run is the best grantee for security. Keeping systems, software and crypto up to date.
I hear all the SWIFT stuff at the banks still run on Fortran and they are afraid to do large changes.
So I don't know if banks are a good example. ;-)
I see a lot of people go with PostgreSQL for new projects instead of MySQL.
I get the impression that the crypto people don't yet know what they want.
That is basically what Moxie Marlinspike said. It's mostly greenhats. Green for money.
