Google Dumps Gears for HTML5
,----[ Quote ]
| It's official: Google is ditching its
| homegrown Gears offline web app API in
| favor of backing HTML5 for the win.
|
| Now that the Chrome browser is becoming
| available for Mac, and the Snow Leopard OS
| doesn't play nicely with Gears, a Google
| rep confirmed the company has decided to
| trash the whole works and wait for HTML5,
| even though the spec isn't yet ready and
| isn't supported by commercially available
| browsers. Oh, the humanity... or rather,
| the machinery.

Ogg Theora Book Sprint
,----[ Quote ]
| The event is another in the growing body of FLOSS Manuals Book Sprints,
| kicked off by our first meeting to write a manual for Inkscape. The aim
| of these sprints is to write a book in 5 days. Actually, we have done
| it it in shorter time â in February of this year we wrote a 260 page
| manual introducing newbies to the Command Line in 2 days. Though
| created quickly, these books are extremely well written texts:
| comprehensive, readable, and complete.
|
| [...]
|
| For a long time we have been wanting to add to the available material
| on how to use Ogg Theora â the premier free video codec. Waiting until
| now to do it turned out to be very fortuitous as Firefox 3.5 was
| released just weeks before and hence Theora has been given a very
| recent boost with native support via the HTML5 video tag. As it happens
| a lot of the technologies supporting Theora have come to recent
| maturity. Only a few months ago it was hard to find a simple GUI editor
| for Theora video but now PiTiVi can manage simple editing very easily
| and smoothly and the development track looks very good. Theora also has
| great subtitling support, either through embedded subtitles or using an
| extension to JQuery javascript libraries.
