Taming the browsers of tomorrow
summary
Six concrete demos: native promises for chaining and Promise.all (avoids callback hell, in Firefox Safari and Chrome 32+), a device light event that maps lux to CSS classes (works in Firefox/Firefox OS), navigator.vibrate patterns (Firefox/Chrome on Android), Web Speech synthesis (Safari 6.1+) and recognition (Chrome 25+, server-side), Chrome screen‑share via getUserMedia/MediaSource over HTTPS (Chrome 26+), and service workers as programmable cache controllers (spec in flux, prototypes in Chrome and interest from Mozilla).
