i wonder that nobody yet pointed to this webpage: http://ishtml5readyyet.com/ ...

in this way flash is a lot like google gears. We get the features of tomorrow delivered today (or even earlier considering the age of flash)... and in the case of flash on 97% of browsers with the small cost of being a plugin.

So all the flash bashing folks should think a second about the bad plugin management of todays browsers. maybe html 5 should also define a better way to handle browser and plugin interaction. this would make copy+paste/drag and drop from plugin to html content much easier.

I read about lively quite a time ago ... but tried it just now to see how it feels.

And i must say ... it sucks ... big time!

If they do really want to make anything fun of it ... it looks like starting from scratch would be a good idea.

Why ?

- Its slow (on a dual core system that runs cyrsis just fine)
- Loading takes ages
- Controll via point and click not well done
- Camera controll annoying
- Overall usability far away from google standards
