IE drops CSS Expressions

Design criteria such as standard compliance, performance, reliability and security framed the design of IE8 as whole, for new as well as existing features. As a result, CSS expressions are no longer supported in IE8 standards mode.

there goes half of html 5

IE8 History Handling

Without the need to manipulate iframes or poll for hash changes, history management in IE8 should be a much simpler affair. You’ll just need to maintain an internal cache of all history events you’ve created programmatically so your listener can tell the difference between hash changes that you’re creating vs. ones you’re responding to.

who knew, ie 8 has a new feature from html5

Google Gears Sync

It seems that without providing data synchronization out of the box, Google Gears leaves the most difficult and cumbersome aspect of building a disconnected Web app up to application developers. This may be OK for Google developers using Google Gears since the average Google coder is a Ph.D but the platform isn’t terribly useful to Web application developers who want to use it for anything besides a super-sized HTTP cookie.

gears does not solve all problems in the sync space!!! film at 11.
