* The canvas element: Low level control over rendering (really need to do some work with canvas)
* Multimedia: audio and video (point to webm video)
* Worker threads to avoid browser blocking (definitely need to learn more about this)

Nice real world demo of thumbplay music. Not sure if this demo is live yet or if it's an internal beta for them. Possibly. Drag and drop is done using jQuery, since native drag and drop isn't ready for prime-time yet.

New, HTML5-enabled TweetDeck demo. An internal piece of research. Wasn't sure if it was possible.

* HTML5 gaining momentum
* Browser innovation accelerating
* Parity with desktop apps
* Developer community participation essential
