Apple's HTML5 and Standards Gallery Not Standard
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)."
And no mod points when I could really use them.
Such predictable behaviors.
Who modded this offtopic? I hope that was an error as this is most certainly to the point.
Why can't web pages do object detection instead of user-agent detection?
The fact that the /. moderators give your post a 5 and don't highlight the developer link which doesn't require UA spoofing shows how absolutely evil /. is.
