    I'm not sure I'd put "doesn't generate enough energy" in the failure category. It's a road. It normally doesn't generate energy anyway. Anything here is a plus, especially when it …

    What kind of help is needed? Also is there any chance of switching to Janea Systems' NodeJS builds so that we get 32-bit and x86 Android support? http://www.janeasystems.com/blog/a…

    I'm unsure if Smartcards classify as NFC, but there's also WebNFC. https://w3c.github.io/web-nfc/

    That and they wouldn't get classic BitTorrent compatibility in a web app.

    "If this what you wrote was true then you would see big adoption of webtorrent which is not the case." You're missing the point. Think of it this way. Check out this video: https:/…

    "That's a pretty big hurdle considering most regular torrent users don't even realize WebTorrent exists" They don't need to. That's the point. If I send a user to https://file.pizz…

    I know you can't connect to normal clients. My point is normal clients don't really matter. "Which means that you do not have almost any sources of seeders" All it takes for someon…

    I feel this is a moot point. I'm pretty sure the install base of WebRTC data channels is far higher than BitTorrent (Chrome, Firefox, Opera and soon Edge and Safari), so existing T…

    The "Safari is the new IE" article was about them being slow to adopt APIs and the yearly release cycle attached to OS updates. This is about visuals and UI based APIs that can be …

    To be honest, this isn't true. Chrome Packaged Apps allow developers to build alternative browsers using Native Client. Just no one has bothered to do so because it wouldn't make m…

    YouTube's rules have something against not displaying the video. This will need to be updated to display the video to stay up.

    It supports ORTC which is sort of like WebRTC 1.5 It's backwards compatible with WebRTC so it'll work with Chrome and Firefox, but it gives you more control of the protocols so you…

    I doubt Edge will do this only because of one feature I was surprised to see Microsoft add support for... ASM.js. ASM.js lets supporting browsers run optimized JavaScript code at n…

    IndexedDB support is horrible across all browsers. You'd be surprised at how much of the spec Chrome doesn't support.

    Chrome OS tracks what you do as much as Chrome does, which isn't as much as it's hyped up to be and is optional. Plus Windows 8 somewhat does the same thing (built in Microsoft acc…
