Even on the first line you can see it's more sensationalist and constructive: "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the world of the sad truth you didn't want to read." Ladies and Gentlemen? Welcome to the world? Sad truth? Ug. Is this kid in high school?
His first point is based on a flawed premise: "The HTML5 spec won't be ready for consumption for at least another 2 years." The W3C is great at pretending to "enforce" standards after the fact. The reality is the W3C has no teeth. It's browser makers that make the standards. Safari, Opera, FireFox, and Chrome already fully support the flagship of HTML5—the CANVAS element. Fire up any of these browsers and point it to http://processingjs.org/. This is how HTML5 does *vector* animation. The heavy lifting and interactivity is actually JavaScript. All HTML does is provide the Canvas.
Ok I'm going to cut the rant here. I could go on and on but I have some more HTML5 coding to tend to ;)
