So I saw this game, and I noticed it had HTML5 in it and the UJ screen looked different.
What does it mean? Does it mean NG will finally begin hosting HTML5 games?

Yeah, we recently added support for html5 games. This is currently in a closed beta state while we feel things out, and we are currently using it to host some MMO type games that are technically flash games, but have to run from remote servers.
Once we get all the kinks identified and fixed, we'll be inviting more developers to submit html5 content, but given how easily these formats can be used for abuse and malicious purposes, we probably won't be letting everyone submit html5 content.

how is permission gained?
what if a legit author is hacked or changes there ethos
must game source be proof read
must moderators approve it before it can be voted on
Oh wow, that's great. But I still don't see why anyone would chose to make games/movies in html5/css3 instea of flash.

People who are smart enough not to buy an iPhone can see stuff on NG, seems like you arent that smart.

Stupid move to be honest. I don't see the logic in suddenly stopping support for something that's still commonly used.
This was stated before the redesign, but never mentioned when it would be implimented, just that it would.
I actually just thought NG already supported it. Im not quite sure whats different about HTML5 enough to warrant "abuse" of it though. Just another programming language aint it?
I'm just a dreamer.
Hmm...all HTML5 content should work on my S3, but this game doesn't. I just get redirected to the unplayable .zip after clicking "Start Game." It's fine on my laptop though.

Not quite. HTML5 is just a new standards for the existing HTML language. But with the ability to use HTML comes the ability to use javascript, and the necessity of javascript so the canvas element can be controlled.
The concern is with javascript. Using something as simple as "for(i=0;i<1;i+=0){alert('hax')}" can cause an infinite loop and crash your browser. They could also use javascript to disable the vote buttons with the exception of "5" ([button].onclick=function(){return false}) or close the window the second you open the game (window.close()). There are a number of ways a phony HTML5 game could be used for evil, since Javascript, unlike Actionscript, has control over the entire window, rather than just a little sandboxed area where a plugin can run.
