Actually, the GWT governance has been handed over to the community ( http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.ch/2013/07/gwt-news.html ). It's quite obvious that they have less love for gwt than before, but I don't think we can classify it as a EOLed project (as it's actively developed and there is a community outside of google).

Angry Birds uses the Web Audio API for sound, with Flash as a fallback for browsers that don't support that API:

Awesome. But Adobe is slowly moving away from Flash.
BTW, Google ported Quake II to the browser (WebGL, WebSockets, etc) back in 2010.

Why don't we have something like a MMO-SimCity 4, instead of all those *Ville-s out there. Hey, EA, are you listening ? :)
