This is definitely not the first open source project for HTML5, but is the first which includes the support for subtitles in their videos. This is a nice feature for HTML5 videos, which are taking large steps to replace Adobe Flash as the preferred platform in websites.

LeanBack has several interesting features as weel, take a look:

• Supports widely used desktop browsers and mobile devices
• Supports also Microsoft Internet Explorer (≤8) and Safari (without Quicktime on Windows) by fallback to flash
• Ability to handle more than one HTML5 video element on a single page
• Javascript library independent
• 100% skinnable using CSS; consistent look between browsers
• Multi-language support
• Browser fullscreen mode; window fullscreen mode
• Volume controls
• Keyboard shortcuts on focused video (desktop browsers)
• Different playback rates (currently in desktop browsers Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer 9 beta)
• Supports subtitles through HTML5 track element; language-selection by label attribute of track
• Supports preload attribute in desktop browsers to save traffic (using a fix)

Wallaby exports from an Adobe Flash project some key elements like graphics, masks and animations into a HTML file:

This tool won’t export all of the elements, but it will for sure automate a lot of the process developers can perform to achieve their animations to work with, for example, iPhones and iPads.

The interesting about this, is that Adobe posted this information in their blog. Cheers to that.

Prey can notify users about the device location sending a signal over the Internet, or SMS in case of Android phones. The program runs as an agent in background and is completely silent. Here are some of the specs:

• Open Source and completely free.
• 100% geolocation aware. Prey uses either the device’s GPS or the nearest WiFi hotspots to triangulate and grab a fix on its location.
• Know your enemy. Take a picture of the thief with your laptop’s webcam so you know what he looks like and where he’s hiding.
• No unauthorized Access. Fully lock down your PC, making it unusable unless a specific password is entered.
• Wifi auto connect. If enabled, Prey will attempt to hook onto to the nearest open WiFi hotspot when no Internet connection is found.
• Watch their movements. Grab a screenshot of the active session.
• Scan your hardware. Get a complete list of your PC’s CPU, motherboard, RAM, and BIOS information.
• Light as a feather. Prey has very few dependencies and doesn’t even leave a memory footprint until activated.
• Keep your data safe. Hide your Outlook or Thunderbird data and optionally remove your stored passwords, so no one will be able to look into your stuff.
• Full auto updater. Prey can check its current version and automatically fetch and update itself, so you don’t need to manually reinstall each time.
