Maybe someone can tell me if it's good or not... They've blocked every browser apart from Safari, so I tried it in Safari and it still failed:

Their cynical attempt at getting people to download Safari (I'm using FF) alone causes me to not take Apple seriously on this.
- If you're not in web design industry, you don't need to see that, what's the problem.raf

Try going here http://developer.apple.com/safar…
I was able to view most of them on Chrome
- Video scaling one didn't workukit
- Anything that did work on Chrome is entirely thanks to WebKit, probably. :\Continuity
- That Tron sequel looks like a load of shite eh.dorfsman

trying to check the VR thing and i got this.
This demo requires a browser that supports CSS 3D transforms.
To view this demo, you’ll need Safari on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Safari on iPhone OS, or the latest WebKit Nightly Build.
us to client: ummm only about a small percentage of 3% of internet users and everyone with an ipad/iphone can view your VR which you paid us a shitload to do.

There are a lot more examples here than the ones on the front page. You have to download them though.

WTF are you crying about, they are trying to push html5 out, not every browser support every feature yet.
Safari / Chrome supports most of it. This will speed others to support it also.

Apple realise that people are still pissed off about Flash - decide to silence critics by showing the 'magic' involved with HTML5. Apple produces a demo site. They realise the site doesn't work on the majority of browsers because HTML5 isn't going to be widely supported for a while yet.
As a result, they narrow the reach of their site to only work on Safari; which effectively makes their suite of 'open' HTML5 demos a proprietary Apple-only solution.
Well done Apple!
- You ARE a hater. SOMEONE has to do it first. Apple has a history of paving the way like this.monospaced
- They didn't need to make people download Safari - they're not paving the way .. lots of people are doing HTML5 stuff.lukus_W
- ... at the moment, Apple are quite easy to hate.lukus_W
- they want to show people the demos in the best possible light. chrome is shit anyway.spifflink

I don't think there is a force in web browsers that is more innovative than Apple. Dog slow W3C pacing kept browsers stalled for years. Apple has been pushing new features for the last few years, they keep adding new CSS proposals all the time. How is that bad?
- Continuity0
Oh, come on. Apple a force for innovation in web browsers? All they're doing is try to get people to use Safari at the exclusion of everything else by pushing WebKit-only compatibility.
This is the same thing that was going on with IE and Netscape (where MS was pushing proprietary tech, and NS was edging more towards W3C standards) and IE and Firefox.
I'm sticking to FF.
- Continuity0
Also, it wasn't W3C pacing that kept browsers stalled for years. It was browser developers insisting on ignoring W3C standards by using their own technology that kept browsers stalled for years.
- so 8 years between html4 and an html5 draft had nothing to do with w3c?acescence
- Also the xhtml dead end and xhtml 2.0 spec that never left draft stageraf
- Actually, you have it almost completely backwards...WHATWG (browser maker group) began HTML5 spec.ukit
- It's Friday. I'm allowed to get things backward. ¬_¬Continuity

I see. Browser developers ignoring W3C standards for years – wrong.
Webkit actually implementing W3C standards – wrong, because it is Apple.
- acescence0
actually, yes, apple has been a force for innovation in web browsers..
"Apple employees have contributed the majority of work on WebKit since it became an independent project. Apple uses WebKit for Safari on Mac OS X, iPhone and Windows; on the former two it is also a system framework and used by many other applications. Apple's contribution has included extensive work on standards compliance, Web compatibility, performance, security, robustness, testing infrastructure and development of major new features."

I think people are missing the point of the demo a little - it's to give people tools to build HTML5 sites for the iPad. Hence, the focus on making it work in Safari.
Apple would have to be pretty idiotic to think that anyone would decide to develop ONLY for Safari (what is it, 6% market share?) for a desktop audience based on some zooming text:) I think it's kind of funny how people get so worked up over everything Apple does though - just chill and let them do their own thing.
- A message saying, this may not work correctly on yr browser would have been a better solution.lukus_W
- ... a 'standards advocate' shouldn't do this kind of thing - hypocrisy annoys me.lukus_W
- exactly lukusStugoo
- lol, well sure, I might have done it that way, but in case you didn't notice all you need to do is click the link to the developer's section.ukit
- developer's sectionukit
- true, but they're trying to boost safari take up using bullshit posturing.lukus_W
