    Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read HTML5 is not a fully developed standard yet. So, real comparisons probably don't do them justice yet. This article seems to be comparing video performance and CPU usage, but HTML5 and Flash have a lot more
    functionality than that. Seems like the jury is still out, but when HTML5 is here, how will it perform on different browsers? How hard will it be to develop for? It's not like there will be a timeline with and easy (mostly) software interface to use. Maybe Dreamweaver becomes a different animal altogether.

    Make no mistakes, the reason Jobs is against Flash isn't because of performance. It's money. He won't give up Apple's cut from app developers. All his posturing is pure bullshit.
