<video> just feels good
"People talk a lot about embedded plugins being “stuck in a box” and while this is partially true I don’t think it’s descriptive enough. Embedded players like RealPlayer and Flash open up methods that can be called from javascript, so you do have some ways of interacting with the box, but it’s limited to somewhat rigid pre-defined interfaces. It’s also worth noting that using these interfaces just doesn’t feel like web development the way doing regular JavaScript and DOM feels. It’s not dynamic and you’re limited to only doing what the plugin authors have already thought of. The beautiful thing about the browser as a platform is that it enables usage far beyond what the original creators have intended."
Hg-Git Mercurial Plugin
"This is the Hg-Git plugin for Mercurial, adding the ability to push to and pull from a Git server repository from Hg. This means you can collaborate on Git based projects from Hg, or use a Git server as a collaboration point for a team with developers using both Git and Hg."
