The World Web Web’s Technology Standardization Organization, the W3C, has posted HTML 5 compliance test results and concluded that IE9 offers the best HTML 5 browser, as far as standard support is concerned. However, the evaluation may not have been entirely fair, as the W3C used an unannounced version of IE9 at testing time.

You can get slightly excited about HTML 5 these days. His Jobsness says that it will replace Adobe Flash. Microsoft has built an entirely new, hardware accelerated browser with the hope that HTML 5 will create a richer Internet and benchmarks such as Futuremark’s Peacekeeper already include stunning graphics and animations based on HTML 5 that run right in your browser. But it is Google that has released a first silly game that runs, despite the fact that Chrome has been dissed as trailing IE9 and Firefox 4, best in Chrome.

It may seem that Steve Jobs is on a lonely crusade against Adobe’s Flash format with the rest of the industry simply waiting who this battle will turn out. While Adobe is rallying support for Flash, Apple receives support from a rather unexpected ally, the adult film industry. The founder of Digital Playground, one of the porn heavyweights in the U.S., told ConceivablyTech that it will abandon Flash as soon as the desktop browsers fully support HTML 5. We also learned that 3D is just not there yet and that online movie streaming is unlikely to replace Blu-ray discs anytime soon.
