no I mean that flash is a proprietary runtime that can change at the whim of a company, is badly supported on niche platforms, and is terribly hard to introspect. building open standards is an order of magnitude harder, on the face flash may seem so much more powerful, but taking into account the massive implications of open vs propietary its easy to understand why it is that way, and why its worth pushing things lik…
Pavlov wasn't arguing against the development of Canvas. He was merely pointing out that, while impressive, Canvas has a -long- way to go before it's a viable platform for full-scale multimedia work on the web. Being viable is a combination of performance, authoring tools, and reach. Of course, there are lots of reasons to hate Flash, but you need to recognize what Flash does well to be able to beat it. Today, Flash…
It seems "disruptive innovation" has gone lately from being an overused buzzword to being an entirely forgotten concept.
Short version: it is not always necessary to be better at everything to be a threat to an established product.
For an example see the case of mainframes vs. mini-computers which was brought up (and sneered at) above.

Actually, it looks like the blog is having problems. The direct link seems to load fine.
Yeah, the guy just told me his blog is not responding now. Oops! I must rethink speedbumping like that in future.
Interesting metaphor. At least speed bumps often increase the safety of some group of people. This sort of speed bump does nothing but infuriate those who pass over it, and perhaps inflate the ego of the owner of the bump -- or, in this case, crash the bump, er, blog.

#25It also works on other touch-screen devices with recent WebKit builds too that support touch events, such as Android. I helped mrdoob by suggesting various improvements including the usage of touch events.

#26This is nice, but there are many more HTML5 examples at http://www.chromeexperiments.com , and most of them are much more "amazing" than the linked app.
One of the top 4 (not sure if it's 2nd or 4th) by rating for me is the linked demo in the OP, FWIW.

Speedbumping?
I was hoping that people would see the screensnap at that blog and THEN decide if they'd go on to the site itself. It never occurred to me there'd be a flood of people who'd click through and kill the site I pointed to. Plus, I figured some people might be on a mobile device and not see the site itself, so they could at least look at a screensnap. I will never do that again.

#30Nice design, the brush shapes are pretty. But honestly, this is the kind of application which used to be provided as a demonstration of Turbo Pascal's graphics library in 1990... Multiplying some lines into a greyscale buffer on mouse events was perfectly feasible on a 286 + VGA.

Sweet, that has totally been missing from my web experience.
