Apple HTML5

Yes, two posts in one day!

Apple have released a cutting edge HTML5 demonstration site, rejoice! It’s at http://www.apple.com/html5/

It demonstrates a number of features provided by CSS3, Javascript and a couple of HTML5. A couple of HTML5.

It’s viewable in all HTML5 compatible browsers, as long as your HTML5 compatible browser is Apple Safari.

Wait… What?

Yup, that’s right. Apple’s HTML5 demonstration site doesn’t really showcase a lot of HTML5, more alternative standards like CSS3, and you have to use Safari to see it. Why, isn’t the ‘Apple WebKit originally “borrowed” from Linux’s Konqueror and used in Google’s Chrome‘ good enough? Is Mozilla Firefox “chopped liver” now, in the eyes of Apple? Is Opera now considered HTML1?

The whole point of HTML5 is cross-platform support. I’m getting sick and tired of Apple’s campaigns, arrogance and disrespect for the industry as a whole.
