'... I would like, for once, for three kids to come up to me and say that they have World of Warcraft or Second Life running with full 3D hardware acceleration inside of the browser ... WITHOUT A GAD BLESSED PLUGIN ...'
gne or game never ending did just that (but it still required a plugin). The problem is twofold. Browsers are sandboxed, to get performance for 3D requires access to hardware and what makes money might not be what you first think of. (thats three).
Take for instance flickr. They started off with gne, then the front end team did about 5 different apps before they realised allowing people upload & share photos.
'... Are there ANY original thinkers out there? Where are you at? ...'
