Oh the irony. Apple today took the wraps off of a new HTML 5 & Web Standards page, showing off to devs and end users alike what HTML 5 and other bleeding edge web standards are capable of. Only problem — this “openness” is limited (artificially) to only Apple’s Safari browser.
Now I know for a fact the latest betas of Chrome and Firefox can do at least half the stuff in the demos. But I digress. For Safari users, head on over to the HTML 5 Demo Page and have fun.
For the rest of us…you can skip Apple’s artificial limitations by pointing your seemingly incompetent browsers here — (developer.apple.com/safaridemos/).
Whiz banged or is Flash still relevant?

If you could reach into your TV screen, pick up Mario and bite of his head, would you? Too graphic perhaps? What about one of those magical mushrooms always running around? I mean, a little trip via some organic fungus never hurt anyone too bad right? If such things ping your brain every night as you lie awake in bed, boy have I got a treat (literally) for you.
Mario Candies. Thanks to Birthday Express (Mushroom and Gold Star candies) and BigBadToyStore (Question Mark Block candies), the retro gamer’s sweet tooth can truly be fulfilled.
The best part is the super cheap $3.99 price tag. Usually such iconic and trademarked merchandise is grossly overpriced. Eat it up while you can!

The Chinese Government in the digital/computer age has over the last several years made headlines around the world as various sites, services, and news events have been blocked by their “Almighty Firewall”. In an age of free information transport, it really is a shame the Chinese government skews their peoples’ views on world issues and even internal ones. As the anniversary date of the Tiananmen Square Massacre approaches, the Almighty Firewall is being kicked into “block happy” mode. Many social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, YouTube and more are now nothing but a blank and desolate page. Attempts to navigate around the firewall by use of outside proxies and VPN’s are proving to be no match for the latest round of “security” that is really aimed to quell free speech and the truth from coming home. While the news of another massive blacklisting of sites by the Chinese government is in actuality not news at all as it is becoming more and more commonplace, it’s still a reminder of how fortunate many other people around the world are that don’t have to put up with that s*** as well as to highlight the backwardness and unfair practices of the Chinese government. Chinese based readers, angered? Saddened? Or, business as usual?
