What a bunch of cranky sons of bitches. Yes, it's myopic to expect developers to roll out Webkit-only features on a standard web site, but did you know that the iPhone and iPad don't support Flash? It's kind of gone under the radar, but it's true.
So how is it wrong for Apple to push the features those devices CAN support when those features compensate for a lot of the basic things Flash has traditionally been leveraged to do? Moreover, how is it wrong for Apple to prevent browsers that can't run the demos properly from trying? They'd just make a mess of it. Case in point, see the ostensibly web savvy original poster running Safari 3.
I'm not one of those death-to-Flash people, but I think a lot of people here are missing the point.
