    My only criticism above relating to Jquery was that the design community is in a scramble to choose the next STANDARD technology/technologies that has/have the sign of approval from Apple: iPad, iPhone, etc. compatibility.

    I know, I know; this will not turn into a pro-flash, anti-apple argument, I simply feel that the internet has thus been stripped of a lot of dynamic stuff because we have all settled on standardized wordpress, c a r g o, etc. driven sites that seem to lack the personality and originality of flash-driven sites of a time passed...

    That is all...

    I like the overall quality of work / technology used now a days and some of the cutting edge stuff is quite exciting, I simply feel a lot of us have chosen functionality over form and it will come at the expense of individuality.

    I know "that originality can exist within strict guidelines" but it's starting to feel like complacency; is is that a designer is complacent and an artist rejects complacency?

    • Ideaist, I think I agree with you here. I feel the same way, but you gotta have tools for rapid development.

    • JQuery's popularity is already well established and really has nothing to do with Apple or the iPadukit
