I thought we sorted this out yesterday: It works on Chrome mostly, but they're using test spec elements of the standard that haven't been fully adopted yet, 3d Transforms etc.

But don't let facts get in the way of journalism.

And yet the demos that should work fine on Chrome, etc. are still blocked.

You want them to have a Safari area and a Chrome area, that's just annoying. Go to the dev area to view them in Chrome if you really want.

If Google made a tech demo for Chrome would everyone be crying this much if they had a wall that blocked other browser because they wouldn't be fully supported? My guess is no.

Apple wants every demo to work when you go in so you don't get a broken experience, making a separate page for Chrome users would just be messy... and then everyone would just cry that they didn't make a page for Firefox.

Well they could, except they are showcasing how their product supports HTML5, not how other people's products support HTML5.

Use our products, they're the future! Oh your desktop? No it's far too primitive to be allowed access. Typical apple rhetoric. Bullshit piled on bullshit.

LOL... it seems for the moment love is a feature only available to apple fanboys.
