I had reason to meet up with someone I don't see very often a bit ago. In the course of the conversation, he told me he bought an iPad.

I don't know if I was expected to ooh and ahh, but I didn't.

After he finished saying how cool it was and how much he and his wife liked it, I commented "no Flash and no Silverlight" after which followed this:

Him: "You don't need it, HTML5 can do everything Flash and Silverlight does"

Me: "Wait... you're telling me that the iPad converts existing Flash content into HTML5 and then renders it?"

Him: "No, but once all the existing sites are converted to HTML 5 it'll be fine and we don't need Flash... or Silverlight"

'all the existing sites' ... huh ... I didn't get a notice, maybe they're doing them alphabetically or something :)

Ok Spanky... you keep drinking that Kool-Aide from Steve, I've got mine... it's blue with Silverlight:
