Key Points:

Google Talk Talk about HTML 5, the guy was using heaps of the latest nightly build beta browsers
Video Tag
<video src="myvideo.ogg" controls autoplay>
He then mixes and matches some javascript to stop/play that video
Another cool example he gave is a HTML text box, that automatically updates an iframe on the same page
Javascript <script> tag can be by itself, it assumes its javascript, you dont have to say <scrapt language="javascript...">
He also gives a cool demo of localStorage javascript method, that lets you save/access files to the client. He basicaly writes an app that lets you open and close txt files in javascript in a few lines - and no dynamic server-side langauge
Drag and Drop API changes
