    I'm really keen to get some HTML5 & CSS3 features developed for the likes of HEXUS, but even with Chrome Frame, I worry about support for them.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Re: News - Google ditching Gears for HTML5 in future

    I was doing some reading about the <video> tag in HTML5 a couple of weeks ago. I think Opera have been working on support, but when I tried their demo I just got a message about Theora not being installed, even though I had done that bit.

    Have you seen the time line for HTML5? they are estimating it to take something like a decade or more to get it ratified. That is complete madness!
