HTML5 vs. Flash: The case for Flash
,----[ Quote ]
| The real battle is in the hearts and eyes of
| the artists who are paid to create incredibly
| beautiful objects in the span of just a few

Should Open Web Advocates Stay Independent?
,----[ Quote ]
| When it was revealed Wednesday that developer
| and noted open web champion Tantek Celik was
| joining the Mozilla Foundation, a wave of
| congratulations swept across Twitter and the
| blogosphere. But not everyone was happy to
| learn that Celik â the former chief
| technologist at Technorati and before that an
| open standards advocate at both Microsoft and
| Apple â was joining the company behind the
| Firefox browser. Ben Metcalfe, a programmer
| and startup adviser, said on Twitter that
| while he was happy for Celik, his hiring
| meant that ânone of the open web usuals
| remain independent.â
