How do you continue to WOW? Thanks Eric and Arne for a great insight into HTML5 and all its wonders - cannot wait to get my hands dirty with this. Onward and upward! :)

[zero2zero4]

not

var hello = "hi";

alert(hi);

it's

var hello = "hi";

alert(hello);

That's really a WOW thank you thank you, Google Devs.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, Firefox 6.0.2 Stable and have joined the Youtube HTML5 test, this video does not play.

I have these add-ons installed, Adblockplus, Request Policy and Quick Java with Flash disabled if it makes a difference. :shrugs:

3:52 it's not only error-prone, but invokes undefined behaviour in some JS engines.

If someone would have told me 5 years ago that the browser would be capable of stuff like that, I would have punched him in the face, spit on him and yell some insults about how lame JavaScript is (was).

I'm amazed, is there going to be a need for something else than JavaScript in the future? We have JS on the server (node.js), we have JS based databases and we have the browser with JS.

'I'm afraid I can't do that Eric', very droll! Also the beat detection part is very cool!

The bezier curves and 3D CSS rotations are interesting, but unless you're planning on spending a lot of time hard coding transforms on each axis over time you're gonna need an IDE like Flash to do more than just rotations around a single axis, like making keyframe adjustments, previewing the animation over time and then export the movie clip. I'm assuming these guys already have the benefit of using an in-house equivalent.

Amazing talk.

Does anyone know the song that's playing at 46 mins?

[VIBrunazo]

@alphapolitan it's the google io intro song. It plays at the beginning of the keynotes since the beginning of the first io (I think).

Does anyone have a link to the Gal 9000 demo?

[beardymonger]

@34:00, best 3d demos. I loved the filesystem one!

[crbrocket]

NICEEE, they need to put that terminal into Chrome OS then I'd use it. Add html5 emacs and I'm sold for life.

[theNewCodingFrontier]

27:00 that was amazing..

[tedodzhe]

[Nanowarex]
