hey dudes, I am making a new webapp and wanted to share with all of you here, but i dont know if i can do it with the guideline in NEOWIN.

Any way, I am also interested in this topic question:

What is the most useful feature in HTML5 standard as you suppose?

* Vedio&Audio Tags

* tons of new input types

* websocket

* offline sets

* You name it in reply~

above 5 were almost all the famous HTML5 feature are in use, and they are quite mature.

as far as i know, offline sets are most widely used in a lot webs but ... few are totally offline supported

The fact we now have a truly semantic way to describe layouts using <article>, <header>, <footer etc. Granted, maybe not as initially exciting as <canvas> etc but none the less we'll be seeing this in everything from complicated web apps to single page landing sites.

for me and my team, we gave up using <canvas>this time

Why give up using <canvas>? It isn't all that difficult to understand really. Here is a sample I grabbed from another site:


<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
	<style>
	  body {
		margin: 0px;
		padding: 0px;
	  }
	  #myCanvas {
		border: 1px solid #9C9898;
	  }
	</style>
	<script>
	  window.onload = function() {
		var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
		var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
		context.moveTo(100, 150);
		context.lineTo(450, 50);
		context.stroke();
	  };
	</script>
  </head>
  <body>
	<canvas id="myCanvas" width="578" height="200"></canvas>
  </body>
</html>
[/CODE]

All you do is define the canvas tag, give it an id, and reference that id in javascript to work with (get the drawing context and draw) the canvas.

killing adobe flash!!!

That won't happen anytime soon. No matter what browser you're using, Flash is still heaps and heaps faster than HTML5 for almost anything (aside video). And at least one Flash file works exactly the same in all browsers.

This.

Also, from a game dev point of view JavaScript (and therefore HTML5) is a pain in the ass to work with. I'd rather repeatedly punch myself in the nuts than write an entire game using JavaScript and the pseudo OOP programming it employs.

JavaScript needs to be replaced with a truly OOP language. Flash, despite it's short comings, has AS3 which is miles ahead of JavaScript as a language.

Video too now and especially in 3D and new features.

But for me HTML5 best stuff is:

1. Canvas 2D / SVG support (hopefully we get Canvas 3D in the final spec)

2. Video tag

3. Web sockets

4. Local offline storage / Web SQL

6. WebRTC (following this closely)

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.

      Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).

      It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
