Hi All,
With all the security problems in Java right now, does
anyone know if HTML5 will eventually sub for Java?
And, will HTML5 have its own list of prodigious security

Many thanks,

Hi Joe,
I am not so security concerned about non-browser plugin
Java programs as I am the browser stuff. I would love it
if Java was no longer needed by Firefox.
Then worry about Java programs the same as you would
a C++ program or any other non-browser program.
