Apple Thoughts: Open Standards? Oh That's For the Other Guys

"Apple has published an extensive showcase of HTML5-based websites designed to show how the Web standard works across its software offerings and devices. 'Every new Apple mobile device and every new Mac - along with the latest version of Apple's Safari Web browser - supports Web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. These Web standards are open, reliable, highly secure, and efficient. They allow Web designers and developers to create advanced graphics, typography, animations, and transitions.'"

What is funny is they talk about open standards yet to see what they have done here, you have to have a Safari browser?? Chrome and Firefox are both HTML5 compliant so they should work too don't you think? If the "standards aren't add-ons to the web. They are the web" as Apple state, you should demonstrate it by making it visible on any browser that is capable! That aside, I do like what you can do with HTML5, and it is much faster and more responsive. If you want to use Chrome or Firefox and see the examples, you can go to this site and view them in your browser of choice. Also, if you want a crash course in HTML5, head on over to OSX Daily for a quick read on it.
