Apple's HTML5 and Standards Gallery Not Standard

Posted by Soulskill on from the par-for-the-course dept.

snitch writes "Apple has created an HTML5 Showcase that presents its vision for the next generation of the WWW. The fact that this page is only accessible using the Safari browser, while Apple advocates about web standards, has caused many to criticize the company's lack of broader platform support. The showcase demonstrates several HTML5 capabilities and features that have to do with video, typography, transitions, audio, etc. Further, on the front page the company states that 'Standards aren't add-ons to the web. They are the web. And you can start using them today.' The latter statement falls short by the fact that the featured examples only work with the Safari browser, and in the case of the CSS 3D transforms demonstration, require Mac OS X Snow Leopard (Safari PC or plain Leopard won't do)."

    I've never thought much of apple, but my one purchase (an ipod touch), was a mistake. I hate the DRM, the control over my asset, etc. I'll be selling it soon, going to a droid.

    You guys are all tards. Read the fsking page:

    The demos below show how the latest version of Apple’s Safari web browser, new Macs, and new Apple mobile devices all support the capabilities of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.

    It's a Safari demo, numbskulls, not an acid2-style test case page.

    How does the app store "splinter the web"?
