VividPhoto HTML5 and CSS3 Template


VividPhoto is a stunning photography HTML5 and CSS3 template that is designed to showcase a portfolio of images. Note the left side navigation that hides until you hover over the small gray tab. Note also that this particular contributed template is licensed differently (a BSD license) than the rest of the templates on this site (CC by 3.0), but it is pretty much equal to the one we use, so I allowed it to be featured here. Also, the zip file is larger than most of the templates here, so be a little patient with the download. And of course, with this one, although you can download it here, you can also always get the latest version from its release page as well.

Which Browsers Support HTML5?


Over the summer, the band OK Go, Pilobolus choreographers and Google revealed a dynamic music experience that gave users a taste of HTML5's impressive capabilities with All is not Lost. The ongoing production of revising the current HTML standard, HTML4, will give users more options with website design and user interaction, which is illustrated by the All is not Lost HTML5 music experience.
All is not LostThe newest revision of HTML is in the works and developers are working hard to see that the new hypertext markup language takes the success seen with HTML4 and creates an even richer experience for users.
With all of the HTML augmentations, browser capability is a top concern for Web developers and like all upgrades and various browsers, no two are alike. You'll notice if you try and view the All is not Lost video on any browser other than Chrome that you encounter an error. That's because Chrome, as revealed by The HTML5 Test, is the most supportive browser when it comes to specifications like parsing, canvas, video, audio and other features that have improved with HTML5.
Although HTML5 is still in the works, it's important that browsers are keeping up with the progression of the new language. With all of the browsers available, it's important to choose one that will yield the best possible Web experience. Why spend money making your website interactive and attractive when majority of the browsers will not be supportive?
Based on specific standards of HTML5,Tthe HTML5 Test produces a score (out of 450 points) for each browser based on how compliant it is with each of the new language fields. After pasting the test URL in the browser, a score reveals how HTML5-ready the browser is. The specifications are not finalized, but it's a fair analysis.
HTML5After testing out Chrome, Safari, Firefox andOpera, the HTML5 test revealed that Chrome was the most supportive of HTML5 with a score of340, while Internet Explorer trailed last with a score of 141, no surprise there! Firefox (272),Safari (212) and Opera (278) did ok as well making up for where they lacked with bonus points in video and audio tags.
Using a different browser? Test it for HTML compatibility now.

As of now, HTML4 is still the standard, so it's wise to use the new language sparingly until HTML5 is fully rolled out, tested and an approved standard.

Carbyn is a HTML5 based operating system ~ Ubergizmo


Can’t decide which mobile operating system you prefer? If you like the iPhone 4’s specs or the Samsung Galaxy S2’s display but not a fan of either platform, Carbyn might have the answer for you in the form of a HTML5 based operating system (or webtop) that can basically be accessed from just about any device with a browser – smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.
Since it’s HTML5 (meaning it’s web based), there’s really nothing to install, so all you’d have to do is log in to Carbyn and you’re good to go! At the moment it appears to be running just fine on the iPad and the Blackberry Playbook, and support for smartphones isn’t too far behind.
If the concept is a little alien to you, Carbyn’s functionality is said to be similar to Google’s Chrome OS and Jolicloud, and is said to be able to work on pretty much any device with a modern browser. At the moment it doesn’t look like there are that many apps available yet, although Carbyn is looking to partner up with some developers to tailor make apps for their platform. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and if it could potentially prove to be an alternative to the current mobile platforms available today.
