The demo I was referring to is here, and the idea is that you don't need a handheld device to interpret it, and it works in the browser. There is too much fun to be had for this to be ignored.
Canvas wasn't actually created for the web, see. That's the trick. Apple created the Canvas element so Dashboard widgets (which are just little hunks of xml and javascript) could, you know, work. I have seen some rather fun stuff with it so far and I hope people keep up with it, honestly.
Dig, for example, the canvas painter demo. Way cool. I saw another demo somewhere that could do palm-style handwriting recognition. Being able to do stylus-style input online without flash can lead to all sorts of possibilites. Don't be a hatin'.

I seriously doubt there are any mainstream news sites that *don't* want to get hit by the major search engines, aggregation or not.
That would be a fun page to see tucked away in a corner of archive.org.
Umm, remember the Indymedia thing? They were in the UK, and yet the FBI still got involved. That doesn't really work.
