Paul Irish and Divya Manian have created a fun visualization on readiness of HTML5 and CSS3 standards in various browsers.

It uses a bunch of the usual CSS cool-suspects: -webkit-gradient, -webkit-transition, -webkit-border-radius, and the like (and -moz/-o too).

The added feature is…. do a mouse scroll on the page:

At Google I/O the team showed a demo of YouTube running video right in the browser, instead of in the rectangle of Flash.

Now, that URL takes you to the beta, which you can opt-in too. I am torn on what to write on this showcase though…. so, especially since it is Friday, here are two takes:

Open Web Advocate

It is fantastic to see a massive site – the poster child of Flash video – implement HTML5 video. If you want to piss of an Adobean ask them “how do you feel about YouTube folks making millions off of the back of your work. Surely you got a bunch of license money… oh wait.”

This is the first step for YouTube, and now that video is a native experience in the browser they can innovate in really interesting ways.

One bonus feature for trying the beta: “Videos with ads are not supported”

The Other Guy

It is great to see YouTube showing off HTML5 support, however you will notice that it only works in the Safari/Chrome world (saying it works in IE via ChromeFrame is cheating) due to the fact that YouTube only supports H.264 and hasn’t done Ogg. Sure it would take a lot to get Ogg support at that scale, but it would also help the cause a lot.

When you test it at this early stage you also see that there isn’t HD support or much of the other features of the Flash player, so instead of showing off how the experience can be better….. it is in catch up mode. Features such as full screen aren’t even an option yet of course. We need to move faster.

I am looking forward how things play out over time. What guy are you today?

NOTE: Vimeo are turning on support too, also H.264 only.

Version 3.3 of the Microsoft Network Monitor has been released a few months ago. The Network Monitor application has been designed for capturing and analysing of network traffic. The new version of Network Monitor added a few exciting features to the network monitoring software including the ability to add so called Experts – standalone applications – to the software which analyze data captured by Network Monitor.

Three Network Monitor Experts have been released so far, the last less than two weeks ago. Available are the Simple Search, Top Users and TCP Analyzer Experts. Here is a short summary of what these Experts do:

• Simple Search Lets you search frames and comments for raw ASCII text case-insensitively or with regular expressions.
• Top Users Lets you determine the heaviest users of network bandwidth.
• TCP Analyzer This tool analyzes network traces of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections.

The Experts can be downloaded separately and need to be installed before they can be used. It is recommended to close the Network Monitor before installing the add-ons. The Experts become then available in the Experts menu on top of the program.

Microsoft Network Monitor is offered as a free download for 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the Windows operating system.

Kevin Decker has released FireDiff a very cool Firebug extension that tracks changes to the page and CSS.

Firediff implements a change monitor that records all of the changes made by firebug and the application itself to CSS and the DOM. This provides insight into the functionality of the application as well as provide a record of the changes that were required to debug and tweak the page’s display.

The release, which you can find here uses recent features of the latest Firebug 1.4 code. Early days!

The Google Mobile folks talked about the new Gmail Mobile launch that uses HTML 5 technology to speed up the experience, and work offline.

On the developer side of the house we get to see a little teaser of what the team will be sharing with us:

Of course we didn’t get there without a few hard knocks. As an evolving standard, HTML5 has been fast-changing target and we’ve skinned our knees and bruised ourselves along the way. So rather than just deliver the fruit of all those bumps and scratches to end users in our own products, we decided we wanted to write a few blog posts to share what we’ve learned so that others can take advantage of HTML5 as well.

Great to see the mobile Web continue to merge as just One Web, and I look forward to hearing from the trenches on issues the team ran into, so we can learn from them.
