Breaking HTML5 limits on mobile JavaScript
With iOS 5, Android 4 and IE9 we can now push the limits of JavaScript and HTML5 APIs on mobile. Hardware access, performance timing and other APIs are out there.

Your Script Just Killed My Site
by Steve Souder
Hiccup. We all get them occasionally. So does the Web. When an Internet or server hiccup causes a script, stylesheet, or font file to timeout, the result can be devastating - the containing web page is likely to appear completely white for a minute or more. What's worse - your monitors are unlikely to register this outage. Don't worry - this probably won't happen to your website. Or will it?
