>>Mozilla B2G(Boot to Gecko)
去年，Mozilla曾透露将启动一个全新的移动项目Boot to Gecko（简称B2G），致力于创建基于Web和HTML5的移动体验。近日来自 Mozilla中国台湾办公室的B2G项目负责人James Ho首次和数百位火狐社区的朋友们分享了B2G项目的概况和进展。
与目前流行的移动平台操作系统不同，B2G将为用户提供一个基于网络的操作平台，该平台将直接和设备的内核进行交互，而系统上的所有应用和内容都是基于网络的。 在这个Web平台上提供和优化蓝牙、短信等原生App的功能，与原生HTML5应用紧密联系在一起。用户开机即进入到Gecko内核，用户看到的应用全部都是基于Web的应用。 B2G全部基于开放标准的JavaScript和HTML5进行设计和开发，并且同Mozilla的其他产品一样，是完全开源的。James提到，B2G在移动平台上帮助Mozilla完成它的使命：创建一个开放的、为用户所掌控的更好的互联网环境。与此同时，Mozilla也在和W3C共同商讨制定新的移动互联网平台标准。
James在活动中透露，目前B2G项目正在紧张开发中，预计2月底在西班牙巴塞罗那的2012年世界移动通信大会中会正式和大家见面。
>>Bringing Cut the Rope to the Web with HTML5
Cut the Rope is an immediate favorite for anyone who plays it. It’s as fun as it is adorable. They have just made this great game available to an even bigger audience by offering it on the web using the power of HTML5.
To do this, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team partnered with ZeptoLab and the specialists at Pixel Lab to bring Cut the Rope to life in a browser. The end result is an authentic translation of the game for the web, showcasing some of the best that HTML5 has to offer: canvas-rendered graphics, browser-based audio and video, CSS3 styling and the personality of WOFF fonts.
>>Qt 5 for Google's Nacl
Qt developers have made it possible to run Qt-based in the browser via Google's NaCl (Native Client) feature, and they intend to have this available as an option in the upcoming Qt 5. NaCL is a project that allows native code to run in the browser under restricted conditions. For computation intensive bits of web applications, using NaCl to include native code can boost the performance of web applications. Applications that deal with editing multimedia, for example, can benefit a lot from this, as JavaScript often does not provide the kind of performance that native code can. However, NaCl is not a standard, and not available on any browser other than Google Chrome. It is open source, but in many ways it isn't a clearly defined part of the web. Web applications using Native Client can be published to the Google Chrome Web Store. Qt applications are already widely portable, and can run on Linux, Mac OSX, Windows, Android, and many other systems. GTK+, a UI framework that is used by Gnome, has another approach to enabling apps to run in the browser via an HTML5 backend. Since that uses standard canvas elements, it is perhaps a better approach that will work on more browsers.
