Sure, it sucks for the kids, but let's not pretend that the measles are fatal with the exception of a tiny fraction of cases.

Huh? Quoth wikipedia:

Between the years 1987 and 2000, the case fatality rate across the United States was 3 measles-attributable deaths per 1000 cases, or 0.3%. In underdeveloped nations with high rates of malnutrition and poor healthcare, fatality rates have been as high as 28%. In immunocompromised patients (e.g. people with AIDS) the fatality rate is approximately 30%.

But it's usage on computers has, for the 20 or so years before VOIP was common, been text-only. Witness items such as IRC, ICQ, AIM, etc.

Anyway I did not realize WebRTC was not actually one of these kinds of things, pavon incorrectly described "real-time audio and video" as "web chat."

My favorite are sites that load a form or image in a "window" that tries to anchor to the center of the screen. Can't read it 'cause it's 1-inch wide? Zoom in... oh wait, NOPE! It moves itself to the right side expanding the page, and you get to play "chase the AJAX" - the only way to win is not to play.
