I've just connected to the Devoxx home page, where there's a large twitter integration panel with animations. I suppose it's HTML 5, right? I see a <canvas> element in a frame (tweets.html).

Well, connecting with Firefox, Ubuntu 10.10 + Unity, the animation is just stuck, XOrg getting the CPU, cooling fans to the maximum and Firefox itself almost frozen - I had hard times to kill it. When opening the same page from Google Chromium, I see everything as I suppose it should be (but the CPU is still at 100% because of Chromium, and fans still to the maximum).

The first thought I had is "Did they use JavaFX?". No, impossible, the Devoxx guys went to Flash. Then "So, maybe somebody was right when they said that Flash has got a poor integration outside Windows". Instead, it's just HTML 5. Wasn't it supposed to fix all the deployment problems? :-)
