I just don't get all the pro-HTML5 hype. HTML5 is going to be no different than any previous version of HTML... eventually bastardized by each browser vendor in the name of "innovation". Flash is successful today because of it's proprietary nature. Every browser renders Flash using a single vendor's engine (FOSS alternatives execpted, they're certainly an edge case). I realize that proprietary software is a practical or philosophical problem for some folks, but the reality of the matter is that it's a necessity for consistent content rendering. Flash isn't present on the iPhone because you wouldn't need the App Store to deliver half the janky 99-cent games that people are buying (and sending 29 cents per to Apple). Apple won't ever allow Flash (or Silverlight or proper HTML5) on these devices unless customers just don't buy them otherwise.

Open Office is one of the big offenders of the "Microsoft does this and looks like that, we must follow suit" mentality. Except even though the interface looks indentical, and 90% of the features function the same way, there's a few things that don't work as expected and lead to an incredibly amount of frustration. And what's worse is there's really no features that I'm going to use that aren't already existant in MS Office, and have been for some time.

There are so many other cheaper vehicles, that get better gas mileage (and therefore contribute less to environmental destruction via oil exploration and refining) and that don't have huge, toxic battery packs that will be environmentally destructive in the event of a crash or when the car is scrapped (or merely the batteries require replacement). Honda and Toyota both offer several conventionally powered PZEV vehicles (the same standard to which the Prius conforms).
