oldskool YTMND meets YouTube.

"The autobuffer attribute is a boolean attribute. Its presence hints to the user agent that the author believes that the media element will likely be used, even though the element does not have an autoplay attribute.

The attribute must be ignored if the autoplay attribute is present."

"Ken Ingham, Ph.D. will describe the architecture and motivation behind the development of Amazability, Inc.'s Adept1 product. The Adept1 performs natural language analysis and interprets spoken words and phrases or typed input. The Adept1 is equipped with voice recognition and text-to-speech output that dynamically adapts multilingual spoken output to context. The Adept1 offers such applications as word processing, email, address book, web browsing, and access to an online library of thousands of books. The product represents a foundation for implementing practical natural language transaction processing where simple English phrases and sentences are interpreted to command a sequence of complex operations. The Adept1 will be demonstrated and a roadmap for future applications will be given."

Ian Hickson reviews emails covering looping audio and video resources in HTML 5. Key take away - "1. Simplify the API where possible; in particular start/end/loopStart/loopEnd and so on...I've removed all those attributes and related APIs."
