I came across this great poster called “The State of the Internet 2009″. It tells a pretty cool story and it’s from a place called FOCUS.COM.

jQuery with the tag line “write less, do more” has released it’s latest version 1.4 and The 14 Days of jQuery.

It’s still possible that the Tablet could support a limited version of Flash, however ENGADGET seemed to snap a shot of the tablet when it accesses the New York Times and a piece of their flash content didn’t show up … it’s disappointing that the ubiquitous (98% of all internet users) flash player by Adobe is not in it’s design.
