Doesn't HTML5 have the same problem as JavaScript, as in no security, someone can just view source and take your code like the App you show, not to mention general security issues... So even if it can make amazing games and applications it has security issues which really limit its use, unless there's a way to protect these things or maybe I'm thinking about it the wrong way? At least with Flash you have some layer of protection, even though it can be decompiled, you can encrypt it. I don't see how people think this is a threat to serious Flash apps/games, at least not in the near future. Might be a threat to Flash ads and small little baby apps/functionality but that's about it. :) If they can secure it then Flash will have some competition, but still not much until an HTML5 IDE comes out that compares to the Flash IDE right? Plus with HTML5 it's up to the browser to implement it correctly isn't it? With the history of inconsistencies in Firefox vs. IE. vs Opera vs Every other browser I don't see that as being to likely either, where as Flash is the same for everyone. Also if I make a Flash game I can store ALL the resources in the swf, where do I store them if I make an HTML5 game or app? On the server where they're accessible by anyone? If I have to go through this: http://heideri.ch/jso/ Everytime I want to make an HTML5 app secure, I think I'll stick to Flash for serious stuff for the foreseeable future. Still its really cool to see the amazing things HTML can do now, just think we went from BLINK and MARQUEE to this, lol. :D P.S. I just looked at the source of that app and now my brain hurts.

I'm not sure if HTML 5 has fully vector / scalable fonts -- or if its more like the fonts we know now. That could be a big differentiator. I see no reason why JS couldn’t implement prezi.com.

I like js and as, both are great languages. nice. seems to me that this is redundant to flash. wonder if js could mimic prezi.com? I like js and as, both are great languages.
