...the problem being that it's in "the future" that all these great things will exist in a way they can be easily and broadly used.

right now it's a messy pile of emerging and aging standards and big corporates at each other about their respective tech-sandpits, so the lowest common denominator often seems to be the winner. Javascript browser API's help things along (they're great) but they can't perform black magic like making everything use some canvas or some video codec or audio implementation or 3d api.

unfortunately, I'm guessing that "the future" will sort out lots of stuff but have all new fights over stuff everyone wants to use right then but has to wait for "the future's future".

don't get me started on "the future's future's future" either :)

I'm sure looking forward to the future when I'll be prosecuted by the patent and/or trademark holders of both 'Do Nothing' and 'Do Something' for doing something and/or doing nothing at all.

Of course, Apple will offer their 'Doing Apple' to give us all some choice - but at the same time will sue anyone trying to 'Do Nothing' or 'Do Something' and not 'Doing Apple'...
