abstract
  • Created in 1994, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium that develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software and tools) for the Web. W3C also serves as an open forum for discussion about the Web. W3C primarily pursues its mission through the creation of Web standards and guidelines designed to ensure long-term growth for the Web. However, the W3C is not a regulator and no company (even a member company) has a legal obligation to implement or conform to a standard published by the W3C. Over 325 organizations are Members of the Consortium. W3C is jointly run by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) in the United States, the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) headquartered in France and Keio University in Japan, and has additional offices worldwide. W3C developed the PICS (Platform for Internet Content Selection).

By this time, key members in the Internet porn industry had become very angry and decided that "there can be only one". So a small bomb was placed in front of Marc Andreeson's house and was detonated. With limbs missing, he surrendered and handed all of his property to AOL, who were the in charge of the Internet porn industry at the time. In 2003, new standards were introduced included HTML5 and CSS3. These standards expect to be implemented by Microsoft on December 21st, 2012, or when the world ends - whichever is later. However, some other parties have agreed to included the standards by 2015, only because many of them are very vague and boring, thanks to the post-editing done by a team of Microsoft lawyers as part of their "make sure they can't do anything before we do" campaign. Bill Gates denounced the border-radius feature that comes with CSS3 because it "makes pages look too girly." Paris Hilton disagreed.
