Southampton Uni shows way to a truly open web

Rubbish!

I've used RDF in the past, as well as SPARQL. The concept is great, but the technology itself sucks.

It's worse than the mess we have in HTML. To the fanboys: I making a living HTML, well a quarter or so. Point is, you add some script to a page with a script tag, you add css using a style tag, as you know, we add script files via script tag as well, and them same with css....oh wait, actually it's a link tag...uhmmm...hellooo??? Then you have tag naming...a, img, b, i, u ...and...object style body html video among others.

The only consistent thing in HTML is that it is inconsistent in each aspect.

Back to RDF. Check out the tag list - half of it is inconsistent, and the rest asks for awful implementations (eg: rdfXML).

But hey, it's written in the golden book of standards, just be normal like everyone else and learn it!!!

Google Chrome OS goes native (code)

Bull SHIT

- "New ActiveX": Also known as NPAPI? NPAPI is old and too complicated. But seriosuly this idea is nothing new.

-"Run code natively": Wasn't this what browser have been aiming all along?

How can you run Javascript natively? In short you can't. The only work around is VM / virtual machine and/or JIT/just-in-time compilation.

New ideas? Hardly. JIT and VM are the tech used in Java and .NET.

So what does it all come down to?

Propriatary/custom (albeit over-hyped as "open-source") technology which few services may tap into.

Google Chrome OS is NOT for the web. It is a separate product.

Maybe call it Web 3.0 or something. But it doesn't and won't use the current technology.
