A lot of reviews for browsers reference a lot of performance and standards compatibility tests, such as the SunSpider or Acid3 tests. There is another test available to help you figure out how well your browser supports HTML5 already. The site is HTML5Test.com and scores the browser out of a possible 450 points.
The problem is that the HTML5 specifications hasn’t been finalized and so browser makers don’t have a full set of standards to work off of yet. Many of them are already working hard at incorporating many of the special elements for audio, video, forms, geolocation, WebGL, storage, and more.
My screenshot above is from the four major Windows browsers, and Chrome takes the cake with a score of 328 while Internet Explorer is lagging behind (duh) with a score of 141. It’s exciting to see Chrome so far out in the lead because that means other browsers like Opera and Firefox will definitely push hard to catch up.

This video game inspired resume beats any resume that you have offered to potential employers. It is the work of designer Robby Leonardi, who wanted his C.V. to stand out from the crowd. He certainly accomplished that.
Robby created an interactive resume with a Super Mario Bros. sort of theme and it is amazing. It has four levels of awesomeness. This interactive resume is basically a miniature version of Robby as a Mario-type superhero character that runs through the levels, telling employers about his employment history, work experience and portfolio. As an added bonus, it shows off his HTML, CSS, JavaScript and JQuery skills along the way.
You can see it here. Just push the down arrow or spin your scroll wheel and enjoy the ride. Then hire this guy!
Awesome resume. My Mario hat is off to you Robby. I would hire you in a heartbeat just to create cool stuff like this for my own personal amusement.

Just how good is your programming? Well, if you would like to take up HTML5 as your programming language of choice, how about making it as a way to earn some money on the side by making it big? After all, a whole lot of its possibilities is dependent on your imagination and capability. Take for instance, Full Screen Mario. Full Screen Mario happens to be a 100% HTML5 remake of the original Super Mario Brothers game, where you will be able to make your way through the original levels, playing through a slew of random maps, as well as to create your own level thanks to a level editor.
The entire project remains open source and of course, would be free, so if you would want to take advantage of the code, you can always drop by the Github. What are some of the more classic games that you would like to see receive the HTML5 treatment so that it can be played on any decent modern day computing device these days? After all, it is always nice to revisit old classics on new devices and platforms, don’t you think so? There is always a sense of wonder when playing an old school title.
Full Screen Mario Is A HTML5 Remake Of Super Mario Bros. original content from Ubergizmo.

ZTE is one of the few companies making a sly side-bet on Firefox OS, and next year it’s planning to double-down on that initial wager with the launch of a second handset running Mozilla’s smartphone platform. Speaking with IDG’s Michael Kan at Expo Comm China 2013, ZTE’s Executive VP He Shiyou expects the device to land first half 2014, with a larger display than its predecessor, a dual-core processor, a “revamped user experience” and, of course, a low price. The exec also said that, with approximately 100,000 units sold, demand for the ZTE Open “has exceeded supply,” and he anticipates double that figure in total sales. ZTE deliberately manufactured the Open on a small scale, but is optimistic about future adoption of Firefox OS. Shiyou believes HTML5-based apps will become more relevant as speedy network technology like LTE reduces reliance on native software, stating: “In the future, the app store business model will be no more.”

Mozilla’s ‘Phone for Apps’ initiative hits phase two, lures devs into porting HTML5 apps to Firefox OS
Posted in: Today's Chili
Firefox has certainly taken some pretty huge steps since Mozilla initially announced its “Phone for Apps” program back in May. Still, the browser maker knows there’s a lot to be done before the mobile OS becomes more of a household entity. To help it achieve that, Mozilla’s launching phase two of the “Phone for Apps” initiative, offering developers a Firefox OS device — in this case the Geeksphone Keon — in exchange for porting their HTML5 apps to the young platform. More specifically, this qualifies devs who have “already built and shipped an HTML5 web app and have the time now to port that app to the new Firefox OS.” Is this you? Then here’s what’s left to do: click the source below to peruse the rest of the guidelines, fill out the application and, if you’re amongst the chosen group, expect a confirmation to reach your inbox sometime thereafter.

The TiVo Roamio platform is still extremely young, what with it only having been launched earlier this month and all. Still, the DVR maker isn’t wasting any time and is now finding ways to bring as many features as possible to its new set-top boxes. With this in mind, TiVo let it be known today that it’s adding support for Opera’s Devices SDK and TV Store to its lineup of Roamio DVRs, providing developers an opportunity to create a variety of HTML5-based applications. TiVo’s hoping the partnership with Opera can introduce a slew of apps in different categories to the platform, including entertainment, fashion, sports, business, gaming news and more. As for Opera, we can imagine it’s rather pleased to get its app-creating tools used by yet another company.
