HTML5 terminal

The unix console from jurassic park is finally brought to life!<p>3d works for me on chrome (Windows 7). It creates a 3 dimensional representation of the file structure.

With each new HTML5 demo of something that comes up, I get the sneaking suspicion that HTML5 adoption is going to be slow.<p>It seems the capabilities of HTML5 and what you can do with it from an application basis are fine and dandy. It's just my observation and very-limited experience, but I've yet to see anything that really knocks it out of the park for me.<p>I'm currently working on a project that relies heavily on client-side javascript and flash (for media delivery). We have spent some time evaluating HTML5 and whether we should "cut the cord" and move to developing for that basis.<p>At this point, we've determined it makes no sense to do so for one simple reason -- it offers us no valued advantage over our current investment. While we hope to see the adoption improve, we're not holding our collective breath.

One of my favorite things about the web:<p>I just learned three new CSS tricks from using the web inspector to figure out how he accomplished some things.

Terminal.js is good reading. According to his comments there, Eric plans to add tab suggest and html5 audio fallback. I wonder what the end game for this project is and if a text editor is coming - * crosses fingers for vim*.<p>Edit: The entire deck is impressive.

seems to only work in chrome...that's why I'm a bit weary of using this new stuff...since chances are that 90% of your users won't be able to get the full experience

yay for web standards such as HTML5! (it doesnt work in my browser, in fact i guess it just works in chrome)

Did anyone else you try using sudo and see the results?<p>Make sure to turn the volume nice and loud!

It would be great to see TermKit[1] implemented in a demo like this.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/unconed/TermKit" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/unconed/TermKit</a>

Working on Ubuntu 10.04 with Chrome 15. It looks really good!

Reading through it I see the code is available on google code:<p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/html5wow" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/html5wow</a>

Pretty cool to see HTML5 in action like this. It runs quite well and even though seemingly lacking in some functionality is one of the better terminal emulators I've seen in the browser. It'd be nice to see some additional utilities though, such as curl and lynx would be a nice meta-utility. ;)

Type in "sudo". Its funny.

Seems to be another hidden (in addition to sudo, which is awesome btw) command called "init". Give it a whirl.

The first thing I tried was `uname`, but it didn't work. I was kind of expecting it to do something clever.

Hit Control+S to make the terminal look like a CRT+flicker.<p>(Found by looking through the js)

3D didn't crash on me (Chrome 15 latest), but nothing is happening?

What is '3d' supposed to do? It crashes on my browser (Chrome 15)

I remember seeing it at some google presentation.

No joy on FF7 Mac.

Invisible font in Opera - amazing indeed ;)
