'Occupy HTML5' movement shows Flash still has ardent support, but the web tool's best days are over. "If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies!"

The denial is strong in this one...
Quote: Flash “powers some amazing experiences that work consistently across all of the major browsers in a way that cannot be replicated without Flash technology,” Beladaci writes on the Occupy HTML5 Facebook page.
*cough*Android*cough*IOS*cough*
Quote: Although Flash may be in decline, it will not be going away soon. Though a detractor, Drost still sees Flash hanging around for some time. For one, Flash offers a much better authoring environment, with Adobe’s Animate CC, than anything developed in the HTML5 world, he says.
“There’s no parallel in HTML5. So perhaps the legacy of Flash will live on and Flash the authoring environment still today can export HTML5,” he says.
Aren't Mozilla and Google planning to outright ban flash from their browsers in a year or two? Once that happens flash will involuntarily join various other legacy cluster-elephants that are the only reason to continue using IE after you've downloaded a second browser.
And if Adobe's editing tools can be used to write HTML5 instead of flash, doesn't that mean HTML5 does have access to the same better tooling.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

At least a year or so ago I found a few major sites that still use Silverlight. One of Ballmer's many disastrous decisions was to kill Silverlight. May not work for all people, but fine for quite a few, and great for corporations that can designate the platform to use. Ballmer in is stupidity, listened to the wrong people who were telling him that HTML would solve all the problems of HTML. Of course there were a lot of people then believing this. I really do not understand why since HTML 5 has all the issues of the versions before it, and it was obvious that there would be implementation issues and differences.

The new version, rewritten with Microsoft's TypeScript, offers payload size and performance enhancements Because I know all of you have been impatiently waiting for this

Wait. What? Seriously. It just released!?! We were ramping up to using Angular (1.x) about 3 years ago when Google made the announcement about 2.x and that it would be a complete re-write. That's when we decided it didn't offer a strong benefit over ASP.NET / Razor and we'd be either writing on a dead API (1.x) or waiting around for the new API (2.x).
Plus, if you're already building your back-end via C# Visual Studio then you may as well take the whole stack from MS.
Google had a huge movement going with Angular then just let it slide away.
Here's a good article on the v1 versus v2 issue also:

Had me excited for a minute, until I saw that it's the same ol bloated and obnoxious TypeScript beast that has been around for awhile now.
Directly coupling to a language subset is an unexpectedly huge mistake on Google's part.

Researchers at NC State think that they have developed a new way to harvest body heat and turn it into electricity. "Well, I'm hot blooded, check it and see"
They *think* they have developed a new way. TO THE PRESS RELEASE MACHINE!

How appropriate. I'm at my daughter's house. She's pregnant and keeps the temperature in the low 60s. There's no body heat left to harvest.

I looked at an invention at Texas A&M University, called a thermally Activated Capacitor. Basically, it uses a special dielectric between carbon fiber plates tto force charge migration to the plates in the presence of a thermal gradient.It didn't look too practical to me it delivered power on the order of nano watts. But perhaps someone figured a better way to do it. Interesting stuff.
