Parent certainly does not deserve its Flamebait mod, it is a calm and well reasoned comment that echoes what people like Siracusa of Ars Technica writes (remember FTFF?).
Realise they always use words shamelessly like "News for Nerds", "Stuff that matters", such arrogance and use of word in a fast changing environment such as computing tell me I should ignore them like the boastful people I know of.

Oh yes they did: Geolocation, Websocket, HTML5 ruby and Windows hardware acceleration are all neatly summarized on this page: http://www.apple.com/safari/whats-new.html
Encoding a bad quality source with a less good codec will only multiply the poor quality. At least with a better codec you will not get as poor quality as the output.
No one should per default have access to any of your personal items or information, nor should anyone have any kind of back door that makes it easy to gain access to another persons items or information. It is as simple as that. Some part of me is sorry that the police (and more shady agencies) will not automatically get access to everything you are and own on the mere suspicion of a crime the other part of me acknowledges that they already have the possibility to use legal tools such as subpoenas, search warrants et.c. to get access to relevant items and information when you are a suspect of a crime.
Sorry about that, pasted the wrong link, I meant to paste a link to the Google part of that site. I discovered Reader there among others. You should try it.
You should really go to http://www.webapplist.com/ and indulge yourself in HTML/CSS/JS applications. Apps are not defined as programming languages only, in fact they are not defined by the language at all. If you were correct any application written in Python, Perl or Ruby would also not we an application.
Tacky that his first point is that Flash is proprietary, when Apple restricts the apps that can be installed on the phone. Pot, meet kettle.
In fact any user can install standalone apps that does not come from the Mothership (a.k.a. App Store). iPhone OS supports localstorage and offline mode for HTML5/JS applications that can have their own space on the home screen and works without any browser.
No web font is under Apple's control, especially not fonts such as Verdama, Arial, Lucida, Times or Georgia. My guess is that Opera are using only one font to save memory on the rendering sever.
I do not follow your line of reason here. Graceful degradation of an online video player would be like this:
1. Does it accept my standard way of delivering video?
Yes: Play it that way.
No: Test #2
2. Does it play a degraded way of playing video?
Yes: Play it that way.
No: repeat #2 until all possibilities have been tried.
In this context a site like Hulu could just test if Flash is installed and deliver the stream though Flash if it is there and fall back to HTML5 if Flash is not present.
All things you mentioned are User Interface elements. Some are not Graphical User Interface elements though. And Adobe has bad UI elements, especially on the Mac where some apps override system shortcuts and some do not while being inconsistent what certain shortcuts does.
Slashdot Mirror
You said:
``It's better than many point and shoot cameras''
According to:
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html
it has ``still photos (960 x 720) with back camera''
If it had the same camera capabilities as the iPhone, I'd agree --- but either those numbers are wrong, or it's seriously crippled as a camera.

That is the video resolution, not the photo resolution. In fact it is exactly the same as the iPhone 4 in terms of picture size/quality.
No hablo espanol :(
Don't worry, there is no need to talk to the blog. All you need to do is read it.
Steve Jobs invented first!

I did not come here to post just that.

As a mechanical engineer, how can you not know how to clutch your stick while operating a tissue with your free hand?
pray adverb formal or archaic used as a preface to polite requests or instructions : pray continue.
Also, "invaluable" is not the same as "infinite value".
They do the last part too, but you have to call support and ask for it.
It wasn't lost. It was stolen, sold to Gizmodo and dismantled before returned to the ocean.
How would that work out? I see no reference to any minimum price.

Okay so you support HTML5, but what about the meantime as everyone converts?
You utilize graceful degradation.
