HTML 5 is the New Browser Standard After Gears
Google has demonstrated a new concept version of Gmail that they advertise to be HTML 5 enabled. The World Wide Web’s always been written in HTML. HTML while satisfactory, has had issues in an obscure area known as the Web Applications; this is something HTML 5 tries to fix. This is no ordinary upgrade on Gmail or some app in being given off-line abilities though. To begin with, the database definition on HTML 5 allows any web function to locally create and utilize a database; and App Cache allows local caching of its executable state: both spelling improved speed in addition to off-line ability. HTML 5 is able to work on any standard compatible device; with its geolocation ability that allows the browser to reliably estimate where the device is located, it makes for a handy portable device too. And better standardization allows webpages designed on HTML 5 to appear in the exact same way on all HTML 5 compatible devices – computers, mobiles, anything.
Google used to have Gears, for its off-line ability. But HTML 5 is so promising that Google plans to phase out Gears now, and web developers are being encouraged to follow suit too. A part of Google’s reason for this current migration comes from the Chrome browser. While to support Gears the PC has the Chrome browser that is on version 3 yet, the Mac, will never have it. And it isn’t as simple as just designing a Gears version for Snow Leopard either – there are insurmountable technical hurdles, apparently. But all the functionality that Gears would bring, HTML 5 would do better, with an open standard to be supported on all browser platforms to boot. Support for Gears while it continues, is expected to not run forever: Google is asking developers to quickly make the shift to HTML 5.
Celebrate the birthday of the Web!!

Twenty years ago, you didn’t know that your life would change so. The incredible network was born in Switzerland, thanks to a computer scientist Tim Berners Lee. In the beginning, the network was created to share researche and results between researchers only. The goal was to link all the researchers and permit them to have access to more knowledge. He proposed this idea in 1989. His boss described it as “ vague but exciting” but it was accepted. In 1990 they created the hypertext language with the “http” and the first web browser: the World Wide Web was born. Today our browsers are still as similar as their senior; only quality and quickness are new.The public had access to this incredible and revolutionary invention in 1991. Since it’s a real business today, it irritates some of its inventors. They are worried about commercial deviations and about problems of privacy. Let’s not forget that we are more than 1.6 billion people throughout the world, using the internet. So, the stakes are considerable, because the internet has grown to become an inevitable tool. In fact evolution doesn’t stop improving and inventing more and more options: to communicate for free, to share videos and photos, find all information in one click and the like. Our way of life is totally different now and it cannot be imagined without the internet.
So we wish the web a very Happy Birthday and we are thankful for its existance.
