Thanks for the excellent presentation! I wish every speaker showed such enthusiasm. I'm concerned about some of the security aspects regarding the storage and geo-location but that is always a concern with new things. The evil advertising groups are probably busy finding holes to exploit to sell "pharmies".
I've been using basic CSS3 selectors and css3 shadows for a few months now but in moderation. They seem rock solid and are a life saver. Haven't had a chance to delve into the more interesting new goodies.
P.S.
I thought of boulter.com/blog/2004/08/19/performant-is-not-a... when Mr. Davis used performant [sic]. I personally don't get irked by the use of the word but I think it depends on who is speaking. Maybe in a few years it'll be considered an official word since when used, everyone knows exactly what you mean.
Excellent...as always
