Google webFont API browser compatibility - html

I was going through this:
http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/
(Which BTW I think is fantastic)
And was wondering how compatible its is with older browsers including IE 6?

From the FAQ:
What browsers are supported?
The Google Font API is compatible with the following browsers:
Google Chrome: version 4.249.4+
Mozilla Firefox: version: 3.5+
Apple Safari: version 3.1+
Opera: version 10.5+
Microsoft Internet Explorer: version 6+
The Google Font API is not currently supported on iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Android.
So yes, you can indeed use this with IE6.

Which Internet Explorer versions does HTML5 BOILERPLATE support?

Can someone please elaborate on which versions of Internet Expolorer the HTML5 ★ BOILERPLATE framework supports?
Does it have support for IE versions 7 & 8?
The current version supports IE8+. From https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate#features:
Cross-browser compatible (Chrome, Firefox, IE8+, Opera, Safari).
Boilderplate v4 supports IE6+, but is no longer maintained:
HTML5 Boilerplate v4 provides legacy browser support (IE 6+, Firefox 3.6+, Safari 4+), but is no longer actively developed.
HTML 5 doesn't work in most versions of IE. So HTML5 boilerplate uses Modenizer and X-UA-Compatible to make most of it work. You can read about all of it on their github profile.

Is css3 -ms-flex available on non MS browsers?

I am doing some videos from Microsoft Virtual Academy and stumbled upon -ms-flex or so called Flexbox in css3.
I would like to implement a web app on html5 and css3 and this -ms-flex would help me very much.
Is this available in webkit or fennec based browsers on mobile devices?
If this can be used, are there any limitations of use?
Also are there any equivalent for those browser if that is not supported?
I found that : safari has webkit-box and maybe there are others for the rest of the browsers(Opera, Chrome and Mozilla or Dolphin)
Alright, extending from comment:
According to can_i_use, You can use flex box on many modern browsers with proper prefix:
WebKit browsers (Chrome, Safari, Android stocked browser, Chrome for Android, iOS Safari) with -webkit- prefix;
Gecko/Fennec browsers (Firefox, Firefox for Android) with -moz- prefix;
Trident browsers (IE 10) with -ms- prefix;
Presto browsers (Opera desktop) without prefix.
You should be able to find some tutorial/example on MDN, or (as usual) Google.

HTML5 vibration API support

I checked on http://caniuse.com/ but can't find anything about compatibility for the vibration API.
Which browsers support it?
Update [2014-03-07]: The Vibration API is now supported by Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. I've also made this information available on on caniuse.com.
Based on this article:
The Vibration API is still primarily unsupported. Firefox 16+ is
currently the only browser with support for the API.
According to Mozilla Developer Network it is supported in Chrome with prefix webkit, in Firefox 11+ with prefix moz and in Firefox 16+ without any prefix.
But as you can check in this Issue in Chromium as of now it is not supperted in Chrome and they seem to be in no hurry as Priority is 2(Normal).
It is not supported in Android strock browser as of now.

What browsers support the input attribute - multiple

I'm integrate this plugin and his file input doesnt have multi file selection. So I added multiple attribute, but I just wonder if there is some browser or other thing(OS maybe) that doesnt support it.
Many don't... see this link for discussion
http://ajaxian.com/archives/input-typefile-multiple-now-in-a-real-browser
Googling around it appears FF 3.6, Safari 4, and Chrome (not sure) support it. IE definitely doesn't and Opera might not.
According to W3Schools.com the multiple attribute is now supported in Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, and IE version 10.
These are the Browsers and OS that don't support multiple file upload.

Geolocation on Safari is iPhone only
Google Chrome beta has optional support: http://www.wait-till-i.com/2010/03/04/google-chrome-getting-navigator-geolocation/
Unfortunately Opera 10.50 does not seem to have geolocation, which is a bit of bummer considering how great it looks in most other regards. (Video, audio, CSS3 improvements + Carakan really smokes V8, Squirrelfish and Tracemonkey.)
Assuming you mean geolocation API's,
Firefox:

Safari:

Opera:
