The scene shows a meeting at Microsoft, whereby they're discussing pinned websites for Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8. Chairperson: We need a way to grab icons for pinned websites.
HTML5 Clive: We could take advantage of favicons or apple touch icons. I mean, every website uses them.
Employee: How about we create our own msapplication-tileimage meta tag? HTML5 Clive looks disappointed by the suggestion.
Chairperson: Great idea. Ok now we need to fetch content updates for our badge notifications.
HTML5 Clive: How about we utilise RSS feeds? Everyone uses them.
Employee: How about we create our own badge notification XML file instead? HTML5 Clive looks disappointed by the suggestion.
HTML5 Clive: This is ridicules, and I'm going to illustrate my point using this flash video.
Employee: Erm...does it come in a Silverlight version? HTML5 Clive looks even more disappointed by the suggestion.
