This is great!

Webkit is open source based on web standards' Google make improvements with there implementation in Chrome and then Apple make improvements in their webkit implementation in Safari.

Now if only Adobe & Microsoft would start supporting standards like HTML5 rather than pushing proprietary plugs like Flash/Silverlight ....

Flash is a standard. So is Silverlight.

Flash and silverlight are both proprietary non-standards. HTML5 is a completely ratified open standard in every sense of the word.]]>Apr 9th 2010 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/
I didn't say Silverlight 3.0 was a standard, obviously it isn't an accepted standard. But there is no denying how amazing it is. But HTML 5 will be acceptable for browser gaming and video, even though Silverlight 3.0 is far more impressive in this regard.]]>Apr 9th 2010 2:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/
Last time I checked, HTML 5 wasn't ratified. Its still in development.]]>Apr 9th 2010 2:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/
Keep saying that to yourself and eventually it'll be true... well not really.

Other than videos, interactive experiences and webpages will not be HTML5s forte.

Seriously, what kind of 'interactive websites' are you talking about? You don't need Flash or Silverlight for animated menu's and transition effects you know? And it has been like this for years now, with CSS and JavaScript you can do almost everything, at least almost everything that actually adds to the browsing experience. For fancy animations or games, yes, you'd want to use Flash or something like that, and this will probably stay like this for a while.]]>Apr 9th 2010 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/Flash is a de facto standard, that will say a standard that has achieved a dominant position.

HTML5 is an official standard.

So in one way or an other they are both standards.

... But hey, noone is using it, and i don't see that change anytime soon... The only time i see my silverlight client in action is on Microsoft sites (quite few) and thoes sites that was paid by Microsoft to use it.

But Apple only allows ONE video codec for HTML5 (the one they hold some patents to get royalities). All other codecs are not supported by Apple.

If you bash flash for not having a ISO standard you should keep in mind that objective C isn't either.

What bash applies to flash applies to objective c too, is the bash is abot non standard products.]]>Apr 9th 2010 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/Aside from that:
I bash Flash, because it drives me crazy on my Mac. This is subjective, of course.

Then bash it for driving you crazy, not for being a non ISO standard.

This just means that official standards are always better. But it doesn't mean that de facto standards are always worse. Some de facto standards can be good. So, (this is an example here, not an opinion), Flash can be a bad de facto standard, while Objective C can be a good one.]]>Apr 9th 2010 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/
There are examples of bad official standards like OOXML which is simply a mess. There isn't anything inherintly wrong with flash that would make it bad de facto standard. It is somewhat high on statistics of browser crashes but that is simply for its popularity.

It is said to be powerhungry but is HTML 5 any less demanding if the same functionality is done with it? There are no real world test of it. Ive stumbles only to a one place that implements same functionality with either javascript or flash, and guess what, flash worked better and was less demanding. It was a objest rotating application that worked well with flash but halted with javascript.

The Jobs antipathy to flash has nothing to do with it being powerhungry or unstable. It simply isn't allowed for being a way to importing programs into a closed system.

The proof of this is the restrictions put onto the commodore 64 emulator. Apple is so paranoid, restrictive and afraid that they banned C64s basic inteprator, like you could do something with 64 kilos of basic code. C64 emulator wasnt powerhungry or unstable. It just was a threat to itunes, and banned for it.]]>Apr 9th 2010 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/
What about Quicktime and Dock Connector? Standards too?]]>Apr 9th 2010 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/About Jobs and Apple's politics - I like to discuss them and most often defend them, but frankly I don't care much, it's mostly to practice my english. So Jobs can say whatever he want.
About the crashes - I am not sure it's about popularity. My Safari dies regularly, my Firefox too. It's a pain, really. And won't it better to have an open standard?
Now, is HTML5 ready? Well, no, but it's also younger than Flash. With the push that Apple is giving maybe we can see a viable alternative to Flash in the not so distant future.
Because, lately, Adobe is getting a bit on my nerves. Don't get me wrong here, I am far from being disappointed, the software works, it does the job etc., but I would like to see some competition. Like Aperture for Lightroom. They add some gimmick features to Photoshop, while it still lacks, for example a decent Brush manager. Stuff like that. And when I see Flash crashing and crashing on my Mac, which is a quite powerful machine, and then some people I work with tell me the same... ]]>Apr 9th 2010 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/Apr 9th 2010 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/apple-announces-webkit2-with-chrome-like-process-splitting/
