    @omg, re: 'Flash was great back in 2005, solving cross browser issues, but how long are they supposed to hold that candle?'

    The simple fact that we've seen an awful lot of sites saying something to the effect of, 'This site is a Chrome experiment', or 'This site optimised for Safari', or 'This site will not work in IE or Firefox' means that there is _still_ an awful long way to go before true cross-browser compatibility arrives.

    To that end - given its penetration - Flash is still the going concern if you want a site that will appear and behave exactly the same way across all browsers, especially in the case of anything having to do with complex animations and video.
