I don't know how this is html5. The only element of html5 being used is 'canvas'. 99% of this is javascript.

 

html5 won't be out for the masses for a while yet as they're still working on the spec although browsers have already started implementing aspects.

 

html5 is still a work in progress with some elements like 'details' getting removed recently and they've also removed 'canvas' from the spec and are turning it into its own spec, so widespread usage of that will be longer than html5.

 

On another note, Vimeo and Youtube have implemented the 'video' element and it looks and acts pretty slick, but just wait until the patent holders for the h.264 video format to ask for their dollah dollah billzzz. Could derail the whole video aspect of html unless the working group can convince the browsers to adopt the ogg open source format.

rather than having to download the flash plug in or anything like that that your browser has to use to make cool shit happen, HTML5 (the new version of how you write a web page) can do it all on its own.

 

That's my layman's understanding of HTML5, is it correct?

if you look at the source code you can see they are using javascript. HTML5, XHTML, or just regular old HTML are all just markup languages. In non-nerd talk, that means you use it to render stuff on the screen, it is styled with CSS. The actual interactive part of the page comes from the Javascript, not the form of HTML used.
