I mostly agree with the sentiments towards HTML5 here. One of my biggest
gripes is that websites are now attempting to emulate the appearance and
functionality of native apps with useless animations and twenty JavaScript
libraries that make my Core i5 machine slow.
But I think this is just the same problem websites have had for ages -
remember all those websites with an empty HTML page and one big Flash
object for everything? Same bad design philosophy, different era. And it
goes without saying that HTML-based sites degrade for text-based browers a
lot more gracefully than Flash-based sites (aka not at all).
But one of the plus sides of the mobile web browser revolution that started
with the iPhone was full-featured mobile site. I can still use the internet
semi-usably on my old iMac G4 just by forcing my browser to load mobile
sites instead :)

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity planning
reports.http://sdm.link/zohodev2dev
