and that's bullcrap

the really important part of html5 at the end of the day is for CONSUMER, not developers.

Here Apple doing exactly what dumb people did when they started the browsers war 10 years ago "this site is best viewed with X", which later degenerated to "if you don't have browser X, go f*ck off" (you know wars ... people pick a side).

A browser is not here to guarantee an experience, it's here to guarantee you to browse content, and wether this browser support whatever version of HTML, this browser should not be blocked in any arbitrary way because the HTML should gracefully degrade, yeah even with Lynx on a command line.

that's what people don't get about HTML5 and the article make a good illustration of it.

Odd, when I go there in Firefox I can get to the pages but if I click View Demo on any of them (well, I tried the first 3) it still yells at me and tells me that I need Safari.

Chrome Dev 6, all of the demo, except number 5, works.

So they'll let you try to run them if you have a webkit based browser but that's it? Can anyone confirm that any non-webkit based browsers work?

Just tried three gecko-based browsers; none work.

> On the consumer accessible page Apple are requiring Safari because they can guarantee that the demos will work and they can guarantee they will have reasonable performance.

I'm sorry, how is that supporting standard again? I'm not illuminated yet.
