Since when someone who ask a question about HTML 5 on Stack Exchange is a web developer?!
Usage and implementation of HTML 5 in a word where the standard not even set IS a cross browser compatibility problem - in it's full beauty...

Except, of course, that the standards body advises which parts of the emerging standard are solid - so usage of them (which are generally well supported across major browsers) is pretty safe.
You're not keeping up very well are you.

On an every hour basis - I can't do it more frequently. I also read the lines that we will not have a full standard before 2022 - and that's only a WD date...

That's true, and I must admit a bit strange. The Working Group actually recommends that browsers use features that have not been absolutely ratified yet, but I guess otherwise it would disaster in terms of advancement of web technologies.
To be honest, I'm really not a great fan of the way the web is going. Alan Kay did an interesting interview with Dr Dobbs, where he talked about ideas of net-enabled app's being constructed from communicating objects. As it stands, it seems that rather than improving modularity and using messages to communicate between components, we're heading towards the browser becoming a (monolithic) O/S in its own right. What's worse, its running JavaScripts as its assembly - a bug-ridden language design right up there with VB6 in terms of risky features (such as assigning to an undeclared variable creating a new variable). Regardless of that, it must be possible to have something like a bytecode driven machine in the browser, rather than programs as text (with the implicit download costs etc).
As is frequently the case, mainstream computing seems staggeringly conservative, preferring to stick with compatibility rather than evolution.

With the .Net Foundation, Roslyn, and WinJS, Microsoft is completing its embrace of public code. "Open source is a cancer that attaches itself to everything it touches"
Or words to that effect. Developers! developers! developers!

Ballmer talked about Linux when told that - but he was true! See where he is after touched it

Today, Microsoft demonstrated numerous enhancements to the Azure cloud platform. Using Azure, developers can now construct back ends for their mobile apps using .NET or Node.js. Azure also added support for Active Directory from mobile devices, as well as the ability to perform debugging locally and remotely.

We built our own event recording system to capture interesting context about your application, the network transactions, and what your visitor was doing on the page. Combine this with context of the DOM and Browser to give you a more-complete replay of the error. We call this the Error Telemetry, and it’s kinda like a BlackBox for your app.
If they can find a way to track back-end errors too, I'm sold.

Just a few days after showing off photos of the new Kinect for Windows, Microsoft announced at its Build conference that the motion-tracking device will hit shelves sometime this summer. It looks like you're trying to operate the holodeck, would you like help with that?

Google is reportedly considering running its own wireless network. Sources tell The Information that company executives have been discussing a plan to offer wireless service in areas where it's already installed Google Fiber high-speed internet. "All the better to see you with, my dear"

The .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn") provides open-source C# and Visual Basic compilers with rich code analysis APIs. You can build code analysis tools with the same APIs that Microsoft is using to implement Visual Studio! The compiler construction kit goes free

You're assumption that Ubuntu One was ever "tough" is questionable. 
Canonical plans to make the code for Ubuntu One available as open source so others can build their own open-source services.
That would be interesting to look at.

Today the Windows Library for JavaScript (WinJS) is taking its first step to becoming cross-platform: it is released under the Apache 2.0 license as an Open Source project by Microsoft Open Technologies. When in doubt, open source it.

That's a ModernUI library, worse than useless.

Microsoft spent three hours today showing developers where it's going in the next few months, and beyond. As usual, its annual Build conference was chock full of code demos, but the company also spent its time showing off the next update to Windows Phone, which features a voice assistant named Cortana. Just in case you're a little... Hey, a squirrel!

Microsoft's competitor to Apple's Siri is named "Cortana".
I noticed that "Cortana" is an anagram of "An Actor".
Update: I just searched with Google and found out that Cortana is a character in Halo 4 too. I wonder how Microsoft picked that name.

Halo 4, of course. Same goes for "Threshold", the Windows 9 codename.

A man who ran a Microsoft computer scam tricking people into paying for free anti-virus software has received a suspended four-month jail sentence. One down, billions to go
Hmm. Seems to be yet another person from Luton not to trust.

Suspended by his thumbs I hope?
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
