HTML5, Flash, Silverlight and JavaFX are all technologies for building apps that run (primarily) in a browser.

AIR isn't one of these, its a wrapper for deploying applications based on Flash or HTML/Javascript as desktop apps.

I thought the main point was that they run as internet-enabled desktop apps. I guess it's debatable how central that is.
