#2This is really awesome.
This really showcases what I think HTML5 will be great for: procedural/algorithmic content.
I think Flash will still be king until someone creates an authoring tool that can allow artists to easily animate something like this.
Someone go ahead and make that tool, I will buy it.

Processing.JS also looks like a great contender.
I'm still looking for a tool that allows people to create animations using canvas, as easily as Flash does for non-coders.

This is at least the second time I've seen the suggestion for an HTML5 authoring tool come up, something that would let designers and animators do what they can do in Flash. Adobe might incorporate HTML 5 as an option into CS at some point, but here, unlike w/ Flash, they don't get to spec out the language that everybody has to use.

#9And it only uses 61% of both my 3.0GHz cores.
But it doesn’t beachball and it doesn’t crash.
Flash is the only piece of software I use that crashes constantly. As in nearly every day. Compared to once, twice or even as much as – gasp! – a dozen times per year when using all that other stuff I use.
It’s disruptive. It’s annoying. More so than spinning fans. That’s a minor annoyance compared to the crashes.

Hmm Windows 7 plus Chrome dev channel doesn't do too bad with a 1.8ghz core 2 duo and 2 gb of ram. As in I didn't see lag anywhere.
Settings on or off for the animation and holding down mouse/not.
