Are you sure WebGL's used in Emberwind? As with it coming from Opera I decided to test it in Opera, and it started up fine, but Opera doesn't support WebGL yet.

The reason Flash persists is because it's very simple to use...for content creators. In order to see a real change to HTML5/CSS3 alternatives, a software authoring tool that is as simple as Flash will need to exist.

As an example, we create Flash advertising at my work. There are 5 other chaps apart from me in my department, and of them 3 know how to use Flash. 2 of those guys would never understand how to write a line of code, but they can remember to paste a bit of actionscript into a keyframe. Trying to explain TranslateX to them would be possible, but teaching them to build content in Notepad/ Dreamweaver - not happening.

Ten Things Everyone Should Know About Time
2. The past and future are equally real.


There's honestly more evidence that this is untrue than that it's true, and precious little evidence either way - this is not something anyone knows, this is a belief (and one I'm particularly unfond of), not any sort of truth. In fact, if Hawking's "top-down" cosmology is correct, the past is not more fixed than the future, both merely have to meet at the present.

The music copyright fail is a good (bad?) one. THES reviewed the book that it's taken from a couple of months ago (and it's a good book - I ordered it the same day that I read the review).
