I will cover where we have come from, demonstrate some of the incredible results that have already been achieved [emphasis mine]; I will talk about why audio in the browser is so important, take a look at where we are headed and explore some of the ways in which we hope to reach our goals.

It is incredible what these guys - [snip] the processing.js community, have achieved in an extremely short time-frame of around half a year.

My hat is off to enthusiasts who work on a problem and solve it out of their own interest, but for those that have such complete success - they're just legends. My very short list includes Firefox, x264, of course Linux and apache, and these guys.

If you have minimal interest in where browsers are going or in audio, check the videos in that article in the least.

In other news that I wasn't going to start a thread for, the American business awards just awarded Mozilla the "Most Innovative Company of the Year - Up to 2,500 Employees - Computer Software". Quite deserved imo. http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/awards/403_2630_20411.cfm

Wow. I've seen the <audio> and <video> tags used on Wikipedia before, but I for sure didn't know they were capable of doing stuff like that!

Hopefully the performance will be good though.
