Making Sense of Twitter v1.1 API

I am completely confused. I have attempted to read about the Twitter API v1.1 and it's requirements. What I am confused about is the server side requirments.

If I want to use any data via Twitter API I must use server side authentication? or will I still be able to use: 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline/YOUR_USERNAME.json?callback=twitterCallback2&amp;count=2"></script>

and show the users timeline? I am lost on an answer and browsing Twitters Docs are confusing me more!

Basically I am asking this: If I want to pull a Twitter Timeline of Tweets I must now use server side authentication to do this. If not come March 2013 my twitter feeds will no longer work.

Yes you now need to use authentication for all twitter API requests. The following tutorial is quite useful:
