Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

le nubian, what does this mean for watching vids, etc. on mobile devices (if you know?) I saw mention of this earlier on Twitter, and am curious.

I am curious too! I don't know what the implications of this are. I am waiting for a tech column to cover this in depth. When I find one, I'll link it here.

Sounds to me like most of the video on the internet that will be geared toward mobile devices will be converted to html5 - which is what youtube did years ago.

I think you're right and Flash will slowly fade away.

I would like Flash to die, die, die, except that will make me learn HTML 5. Sometimes my brain gets tired.

Sometimes my brain gets tired.

But I have your brain! I've only been proofreading so far today, so it's not that tired.

YET.

Could you teach it HTML 5 while you have it?

I'm too busy trying to get it to remember factoids about glomerulonephritis.

It's pretty good at remembering things like that.

I know! The proofreading has been a breeze!
