It's a synth guitar, no samples, just straight up wave generators and low pass filters generating raw audio data. In contrast, HTML5's audio consists of "stream this wav file". It's like the difference between the canvas tag and the img tag.

Most browsers introduce tags that aren't in the spec. Safari did it with Canvas, Microsoft did it with AJAX, Mozilla did it with rounded corners.
Sometimes it's a bad thing.. like when Netscape added the blink tag.
The W3C just takes what the browser makers do and ratify it. When they try to make their own spec from the ground up, you end up with XHTML and XForms.
What kind of apps do you use on the Android that aren't available on the iPhone, but are so important that you have to use them immediately, and can't wait until you're back on a desktop/laptop?
Google maps with turn-by-turn. Google sky map. There is nothing on the iphone that comes close to the cool factor of Google Sky Map. Hold it up to the sky and it'll tell you which stars and constellations are where you are pointing. Search for "mars" and it'll give an arrow directing you to it.
I say this as an iPhone owner married to a Droid owner.
We're not talking about flash on the iphone.. Apple has obviously succeeded in misdirecting the conversation.
We're talking about making iphone apps using any tools you want. Adobe wants developers to be able to take a flash app, and compile it into a native iphone app... but they aren't the only ones affected by this.
Unity3D powers a huge number of iPhone games, and it uses C# and Boo for scripting... that violates Apple's new developer agreement. If Apple truly enforced this, most of the games on the iPhone would be pulled down.
Apple was always clear on not allowing any technology that could download and execute programs of its own.
Even that they aren't consistent on. Frotz, one of the first iPhone apps, lets you download and run any zMachine game off the internet.. including a BASIC interpreter.
Sounds like you just love griping. Cox has the highest customer satisfaction rating among cable providers.
There are free newsgroups on the internet, go use one of those instead. They're not blocking NNTP traffic, they're just no longer running their own server.
Apple is simply saying they will not sell apps that contain porn.
Or apps that can access porn on the internet. They rejected a ebook reader because you can download the kama sutra off of Project Gutenberg (it wasn't even illustrated!).
What else could it have been? They rejected the app in December. He won the Pulitzer Prize recently and "Apple rejects Pulitzer Prize winner" is all over the news now. You think it's coincidence that they changed their mind 5 months later?
Here's Point 35 on the Findings of Fact from the Microsoft Trial
35. Microsoft possesses a dominant, persistent, and increasing share of the world- wide market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems. Every year for the last decade, Microsoft's share of the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems has stood above ninety percent. For the last couple of years the figure has been at least ninety-five percent, and analysts project that the share will climb even higher over the next few years. Even if Apple's Mac OS were included in the relevant market, Microsoft's share would still stand well above eighty percent.
Look at the first and last lines. The judge ruled that Mac OS was *not* part of the relevant market. They redefined the computer market to be "Intel-compatible PC operating systems"... adding in Mac's marketshare drops MS's share below 90%.
Apple's peak marketshare for the iPod was 92%. *Higher* than MS's marketshare in the middle of their antitrust trial.
That's not true. At one point, the iPod had 92% marketshare of mp3 players. That's actually higher than Windows marketshare when MS got hit with antitrust.
Playing video all day long doesn't use much CPU, if any, since it's all offloaded to dedicated hardware. Doing something CPU intensive will drop that battery life below 10 hours easy.
Except you need root access in order to map page zero into your address space
That's assuming there aren't any exploitable bugs that will allow you to map page zero. For example, a bug (that has since been fixed) existed where you could mmap a lot of memory and it would eventually fail and mmap page 0.

Except HTML5 + Javascript *can't* do everything Flash can do.
Here's just one example:

How about something like this?. Jobs starring in the 1984 commercial.
My TV doesn't support h264. Even fancy HD digital cable still uses mpeg2.
It's removed in the beta and dev channels.
It's gone for me, I'm on chrome 6.0.408.1
Actually it's webm. They've already started transcoding their videos.
and the x264 people aren't biased? Please. They specifically state that those comparison shots aren't even at the same bitrate. Useless comparison.

There's no left-click/right-click paradigm for flash. Right click brings up the flash menu.
$(document).ready(function() { console.log("ready"); });
The same could be said for any browser.
Most browsers introduce tags that aren't in the spec. Safari did it with Canvas, Microsoft did it with AJAX, Mozilla did it with rounded corners.
Sometimes it's a bad thing.. like when Netscape added the blink tag.
The W3C just takes what the browser makers do and ratify it. When they try to make their own spec from the ground up, you end up with XHTML and XForms.
Yes, but if you look, it actually spells out *exactly* what that means.

Consider that Final Cut Pro wasn't created by Apple. It was created by the same guy who made Premiere. Apple bought it from Macromedia.
Yeah, but they had to buy FCP.. and it was developed by the lead developer of Premiere.
So? iTunes is still a 32-bit Carbon app... a decade after the introduction of Cocoa.

I think Apple should sue Gizmodo for purchasing stolen property.

It certainly does work like that.
