It’s time to re-imagine your documents, apparently. Cloud storage service Box just acquired document embedding startup Crocodoc, which specializes in taking Word, PowerPoint and PDF documents and rendering them as HTML5 content inside web browsers and mobile apps. Crocodoc’s technology will allow Box to seamlessly integrate document conversion and viewing into its products. The companies also plan on rolling out more features over the next year, including secure viewing, mobile collaboration, form filling and real-time presentation — sounds like a win-win for all.

Author: Brittany Turner
Wunderlist is among those apps that’s cherished by performance nerds, but not effectively understood outside of those circles.

To reach true OS agnosticism 6Wunderkinder, however, depend on HTML5– which makes porting an app easy, however has its own disadvantages, consisting of lackluster efficiency. (Just ask Mark Zuckerberg.) With the spruce up, Wunderlist 2, the task management platform now has truly native applications for Android, iOS, OS X and Windows to compliment its website. There are a few new features, including push notifications, suggestions and coming again jobs, but it’s the substantially smoother and speedier operation that’s the real story here.

Author: Christen Arquette

Microsoft-backed HTML5 ‘Prometheus’ tie-in recruits you for Weyland Industries
Author: Conrad Thomas
Much as it did with The Hunger Games, Microsoft is advertising the HTML5 capabilities of its Internet Explorer browser by partnering with a popular upcoming movie — this time, it’s Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. The Project Prometheus Training Center, launched today on the main movie site, lets you put in your application with Weyland Industries for… well, we’re not sure, exactly, but it involves joining the Project Prometheus crew and being very, very good at sliding puzzles.
Internet Explorer is recommended but not required, so just about anyone should be able to play. If there are significant plot hints here, we haven’t yet found them, although the multiple-choice cognitive ability test shown above does present some rather suggestive…

Google, Microsoft and Netflix want DRM-like encryption in HTML5
Author: Antonio Pierce
HTML5 is supposed to set the web free. Free to deliver and shape online media in any web browser. However, several of the standard’s greatest champions want to be able to restrict the use of <audio> and <video> tags through encrypted media extensions. A draft proposal has been submitted by Google, Microsoft, and Netflix to the W3C — the curators of HTML5 — to add encrypted media extensions to the web standard’s spec. The proposed system works using a key-based content decryption system controlled by applications, thusly providing the copy protection that so many content owners desire. Naturally, the proposal specifically states that “no DRM is added to the HTML5 specification” if it’s adopted, but letting apps lock up audio and video content sure sounds like digital rights management to us. However, there’s already some dischord amongst the W3C’s members as to whether the proposal will work as promised, so its addition to HTML5 is far from assured. You can read the full proposal at the source below, and check out the more coverage links for some added perspective on the proposal.
