People keep spouting this like it's gospel, and it might be legally correct, but that doesn't make it any less crappy for the consumers. Apple is on the way to be a more evil version of Microsoft when it was worst, and I think the world would be a better place if they were forced to be slightly more open.

I guess it says something about how long it takes to make professional games, that it's taken so long.

The real problem with this, is that soon advertisers will start making canvas ads instead of flash ads, and then what have end users really gained? The reason that Flash is hated is mostly because it's been misused. And now it will be easy to misuse HTML5/canvas too.
We can now use Javascript to do the same stuff that flash could for many years. Don't take me wrong. I love programming in javascript, and I like that I can now do these things. But what do normal, non-programming users get out of this? That they don't need a plugin? I'd bet most normal users doesn't even know what is flash and what is not. And the way I see it, the canvas-renderer isn't somehow more magic than the flash-engine. Except that it's built into the browser, but you could argue that you could just as well do that with Flash.

Until you spend enough time with it, to learn why the original programmer did as he did.

As I see it, most projects start out with a good structure and the best of intentions, and then comes deadlines and the developer having to juggle several projects at once, and then a shortcut is taken here, then there. And suddenly you end up with a non-documented project where the only person that knows how it works is the original developer.

There will however always be BAD code by bad programmers. I've taken over Java progress where everything was OOP'ed into hell (as in a bazillion classes more than was needed for the application) and PHP projects which should be OOP'ed but consisted of about 500 files that included each other in a huge confusing net.
I've also had to take over projects where the original developer was using new technology because he thought it would be fun (at the expense of the customer). Having a huge website in PHP/MySQL and then having crucial parts of it in Ruby/PostreSQL is just a maintenance nightmare.

It's somewhat sad that when China executes people who opposes the regime, the rest of the world cry "Murder!", but when someone releases information embarresing to them, the line is not as clear.

The way I see it. If the documents had been released by "real" journalists (what defines a real journalist anyway?) 10 at a time, there would be no talk about hanging said journalists. When thousands of documents is released at one time, we suddenly call for his head?

What are you smoking?
Not even Google have enough money for all that bugs in IE!

I'm interested in hearing what movies you actually think are any good?

There's really a trend in going all "That movie sucks!" against every popular movie, and I'm getting tired of it.
It might not be original, and maybe people can say "Oh pocahontas did it first!" but that doesn't change that it was a suspenseful, well-made film with some good points that people could think about.

Hi Hellop,
Thanks for your corrections!

It was actually from my bookmarks. I've played quite a bit around with the canvas element myself, and that's why I've got a lot of bookmarks.
Sorry about the confusion about "library". English is not my first language, and in my language library can also mean "collection of", so that's why I used that word.

The 3rd link was actually not the link I intended to post, I intended to post a link to this HTML 5 Game engine (More info in this article) which looks pretty good. It's in beta though, and I've got no hands on experience with it, but it looks promising.

The link I posted is still valid though, and can be found here: http://tommysmind.com/ It might not be updated any more but it's still a nice resource, if you've just started using the canvas element.

Understandible. It can be hard to seperate HTML5 content from flash content these days. However, there is games popping up at a pretty constant rate. For example, look at these links:

• HTML 5 games library
• 10 HTML5 Games
• Canvas game library

Another thought: The HTML5 canvas element and Java's AWT "Graphics" element are very alike. I wonder how long it takes for someone to program a converter, so all java applet/mobile games are available as HTML5 games?

I KNEW you were still holding a grudge!
