Chrome Experiments is a site that documents and presents the work of programmers and hackers working with Google’s new browser. One of the more interesting learnings is that the browser can create moving image with simple Javascript and HTML5 rather than using animation web-applications like Flash.
Inspiration to make things better.

Bold statement for a non coder

The main factor here is the focus on speeding up Javascript engines in browsers. This type of animation has been possible for a decade – remember the whole “DHTML” hype?
Performance in browsers has been the only obstacle.
I don’t see how HTML5 has a major influence on this

OK – so Aaron Koblin showed this off last week at OFFF and that was the statement he made. The title is a little provocative I admit – otherwise, you guys would never comment at all here!

Just reacted at the “revolutionary” gist of the post.
The demos are impressive none the less – and there may be some new things in HTML5 that help facilitate some development. Would just like these improvements to by highlighted if that is the case.
No Flash love here – if it dies then good riddance!
