#22I enjoy Apple-bashing as much as the next guy, but the execution here is sloppy-joe. For example, the sentence, "Due to the slow processor rich internet content will not play very smooth" could really have benefited from a decent editor.
Also, using Flash to achieve a simple mouseover on the side-by-side comparisons means I can't open the links in new tabs. That pisses me off as a user.
Having said all that, the original Apple HTML5 page of which this is a parody doesn't work for me at all - because Apple decided that only Safari is exalted enough to display Apple's showcase HTML5 content.
Frankly, Apple and Adobe deserve each other. :P

#23When viewed on an iPad: " Apple loves to repeat history and made some supercool amazing examples that show you how the web was like 8 years ago with any browser equipped with Macromedia Flash 6. To recreate the full retro experience, Apple also developed the iPad, a tablet-device with a processor that could have blown your socks off 12 years ago. It's equipped with a browser that depends on HTML5. Due to the slow pro…
I didn't get the link URL in the status bar when I hovered the links in Flash.

#24From the site: "Too see the examples you need a normal computer with a normal browser."
Pitty that Lenovo X200 ThinkPad running Fedora 12 with Chrome or Firefox doesn't count as normal.
I really tried putting Flash on it, but the experience was so horrible that I got rid of it. Basically, the only Flash content that worked correctly were the ads.

#25I can't use my scrollwheel to navigate this page. Thanks for reminding me that I didn't really need that feature!
Might just be an issue for you. Works fine for me.

#26“There are ± 100 million websites out there with Flash content.” Plus or minus? Also, I tried to copy and paste that text from the footer but I couldn’t because it’s all wrapped up in Flash.
That's not true. Flash doesn't prevent you from copying text. You can copy other text on the page, and that's still in flash. It's probably something they simply didn't do with putting together the page.
Re: Jump back in time with HTML5
#27Great so flash has set the groundwork for this kind of capability. But I'm confused as to the motivation behind this; certainly it highlights the fact that HTML5 is only just coming into beginning as a standard. That we are only just working to replace flash with totally open standards. Beyond that I don't see a cohesive argument in favor of flash. It's mostly just mud throwing (note: I was equally derisive of Apples…
The argument for HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, etc isn't an argument against Flash. I don't see this page as suggesting HTML5 is bad, either, and that we shouldn't work on it.
However, you have to admit there is a LOT of backlash against Flash for HTML5, and a lot of people suggesting that HTML5 can replace Flash now.
Everything I've seen from the Flash community has been pretty reasoned: they are fine with HTML5, and want to see it succeed, but they aren't throwing away Flash now. Let's face it, Flash is still useful now. HTML5 cannot replace Flash now. Heck, even video isn't solved as a standard yet.
And no, I'm not a flash developer.

To be fair, I don't think the site creator is a native english speaker.

Scrollwheel works for me in Win7 + FF3.55.9
