This isn't all going to be a ChromeOS or Google Chrome specific, is it?kaching said:Well, they just dramatically improved the prospects for Chrome OS.

I assume not, just pointing out that it fills a notable gap in what we know about Chrome OS so far.RubxQub said:This isn't all going to be a ChromeOS or Google Chrome specific, is it?
Sounds like they're figuring out ways to sell us websites now! :lolAndrex said:Shit they're even taking on magazines. o_0

You should consider installing it as I felt the same way (about needing to upgrade) but this is pretty solid! (LauncherPro makes it even better.)
Love the honesty :lolRubxQub said:"And we can charge for it."
There you go.

giga said:People still use Wave?
Yup, quoting from the wave liveblog:Andrex said:SI digital is using practically everything HTML5 has to offer. This is incredible.
The app is using CSS animation, embedded fonts, drag/drop, HTML5 video, geolocation, web workers, app cache, web DB, Feeds, Google Maps API, Google Buzz API, Rails, Lazy Loading Pages.
I'm genuinely impressed with most of this stuff!eznark said:I'm just going to copy and paste Rubx's comments for the next Jobs jerk fest thread.
It's not just you. They need to turn up that volume like crazy.Hawkian said:Now, now, children.
I can't really hear what this guy's talking about. Is it me or is the volume crazy low?
He's running Ubuntu though, so I support that.
josephdebono said:Listen I know this is just kindling for a Google vs Apple argument (again) and that that's fun (I started) but this really isn't about phones or flash or anything. This is how the internet will improve.
Google has improved the web incredibly and these are exciting developments on what we'll be using/seeing in 6m/1 year from now.

They covered up the Apple Logo on that macbook.
Hawkian said:I know this is kind of not going to help the potential vs. Apple silliness, but I do think there is something somewhat wondrous about demonstrating the ability of their devices to enjoy Flash (that'll be tomorrow) while heavily promoting a completely superior, open-source alternative to it, at the same conference.
I love Google.
josephdebono said:Jesus christ wtf was that? What happened?
Tried on the dev opera build and yes it is pretty resource intensive right now but it is just a developer preview.When will other Google products support WebM and VP8?
WebM support in Android is expected in the Gingerbread release (currently planned for Q4, 2010). We expect many other Google products to adopt WebM and VP8 as they prioritize it with their other product requirements. Keep an eye on the WebM blog for announcements.
If I have a video card that accelerates video playback, will it accelerate VP8?
The performance of VP8 is very good in software, and were working closely with many video card and silicon vendors to add VP8 hardware acceleration to their chips.
Can I use VP8 with a file container other than WebM or an audio codec other than Vorbis?
Yes, the license gives you the freedom to use VP8 in virtually any way you like. It should be noted, however, that when VP8 is used in a container other than WebM it will not play in browsers that support WebM.
WebM playback seems to use a lot of processor resources on my computer. Why is this?
The Developer Preview releases of browsers supporting WebM are not yet fully optimized and therefore have a higher computational footprint for screen rendering than we expect for the general releases. The computational efficiencies of the VP8 codec are more accurately measured today using codec-level development tools in the SDKs. Optimizations of the browser implementations are forthcoming.
Yeah, I suppose I would have approached it more from the perspective of covering the highlights of all the technologies today, and doing a deeper dive on specifics tomorrow.SimleuqiR said:Yes, and no. Android is jumping into TVs and Cars, among other platforms. They will probably give most of tomorrow's time to the Android OS. Today seems to be an HTML5 day.![]()
