So , you might wonder what’s all the fuss about this HTML5. We told you that YouTube and Vimeo are experimenting with brand new HTML5 players instead of the current web standard for video which is Flash. Well imagine you are able to watch a video on a browser, without a Flash or Quicktime player required, without killing bandwidth and battery. Sounds good? You bet your ass , it sounds sweeeet.
A guy by the name of Guillermo Esteves has recreated the Star Wars opening crawl, using only HTML & CSS. It only works in Snow Leopard in Safari 4.0.4 and the WebKit nightly.
