Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer: Chrome And Safari Are Rounding Errors
,----[ Quote ]
| Mr. ARRINGTON: Is Silverlight essentially competing with
| Windows? I mean, the way you described some of this
| here, itâs like theyâre competing with each other.
|
| Mr. BALLMER: No, it depends on what the strategy is. IE | only runs from Windows. Anybody who uses IE uses
| Windows. So does it compete with Windows? No it helps
| Windows.
|
| On the other hand, when we tell people the right
| applications which are not unique to Windows that
| doesnât particularly help Windows. And so weâll continue
| to see and do things that are standard-based because
| thatâs important. And you continue to see us encourage
| developers to do things that run uniquely on the Windows
| platform. You know, with the new Silverlight, you can
| build Silverlight applications that are flash-like in
| the sense that they run across platform. But you can
| also do things which are even nicer which really narrow
| down and run only on Windows. And given that Windows is
| a billion units, you can afford to make optimizations as
| long as they bring value and do your applications that
| are Windows unique.

Google urges web adoption of vector graphics
,----[ Quote ]
| Some seeds for overhauling web browser graphics were
| planted more than a decade ago, and Google believes now
| is the time for them to bear fruit.
|
| The company is hosting the SVG Open 2009 conference that
| begins on Friday to dig into a standard called Scalable
| Vector Graphics (SVG) that can bring the technology to
| the web. With growing support from browser makers, an
| appetite for vector graphics among web programmers, and
| new work under way to make SVG a routine part of the
| web, the technology has its best chance in years at
| becoming mainstream.
|
| [...]
|
| Google and various allies are working to change that â
| its Chrome browser along with Mozilla Firefox, Apple
| Safari and Opera support SVG â and judging by the
| arrival of Microsoft as a gold sponsor of the
| conference, things could be turning around.

Adobe is another nuisance to Web standards:
MAX 09: Flash Player becomes runtime environment for any platform
,----[ Quote ]
| According to Adobe, the new Flash version is the first
| runtime environment capable of rendering web
| applications and content as well as high definition (HD)
| videos across a variety of device types. It can
| reportedly utilise GPU performance to accelerate the
| rendering of video and graphics content while being
| economical with the resources, for instance the battery
| life, of a device. It also supports typical mobile
| device features like multi-touch, gestures and input
| switches for small displays.
