HTML5 isn't gonna save jackcrap. Not in the next few months, perhaps in the next few years it'll be where it needs to be in regards to UX/UI and video. Heck, they can't even get CSS3 finalized. Nor XML 1.1.

Oh well... H.264 drops the $5 million per year license, it'll get adopted by Mozilla.
Ugh, I thought it was clear from my post that I was being sarcastic

To be clear: There is no Flash killer on the market, there never will be until the web is defined as it is (arbitrary HTML/CSS + week and slow to obsolescence scripting that is JavaScript). 99% of all the problems that people have with Flash on the web is due to developer incompetence, not due to the technology.
