I'd love to add this type of tech to our online alarm clock site (http://sleep.fm). Though and correct me if Im wrong - HTML5 doesn't have a cross compatible audio solution available; one as solid as flash?

>...Jobs chose to eliminate Flash from the iPhone specifically so that casual games would have to be written natively and sold in the App store, and couldn't be played on the open web.... This is such an important point. And very illustrative of the attitude of Apple. If any other company did this, they would be villified far and wide. But because we like apples products - it is overlooked. It is a cunning business m…
This is not true at all. Jobs didn't include Flash on the iPhone because of its performance requirements. Apple didn't realize how important the App Store would be to the device's popularity when the iPhone initially launched. It appeared that the intent was to keep it a closed, curated platform where only Apple and its partners could ship products for it. This was the strategy that they had established for third par…
the SDK was planned from the beginning, not the result of developer outcry—though it certainly didn't hurt. apple had to make sure that the APIs were solid before releasing them to everyone. that takes time.

The SDK was around from the beginning, but planned for a curated channel of third parties that Apple selected itself. Apple wsa incredibly worried about security issues on the device, and initially tried to satisfy everyday developers with: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/06/11iPhone-to-Support-...
The outcry was so fierce and sustained that around 3 months later, Apple backpedaled on this strategy and Jobs himself announced that they would open the platform up.

#84Apple actually has an embarrassingly straightforward implementation of a CSS3 clock on their ipod nano page: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/
umm where?
Doesn't work on any of the three browsers on my laptop - presumably it works on Apple's browser. Kudos to Apple on going the extra mile there.

If you look at the code it only has webkit bindings. It fails gracefully however in trident/presto/gecko, so no real issues in my opinion.

#86Also, in chrome, try to inspect the DOM using the built-in inspector: the diaphragm will close. If you click again inside the window, it'll open again. Pretty impressive.
It's just if the tab looses focus for more than a second or two it closes.

#87Very very cool! :)

I have to agree. Would anyone be impressed if I did this in ObjC / CoreAnimation? It would be simple enough. Posts like this remind me of the old "year of the Linux desktop" crowd: People demonstrating how Linux can (often poorly) do the baseline simple things that other operating systems have been doing for years or decades. Meanwhile, those other desktop operating systems were leapfrogging ahead.
Linux is a kernel, not an operating system [trolling]

#89Could be wrong, but doesn't seem to work in Chrome under Ubuntu.
I'm on Opera and I don't see anything clock-like.
Same here, starting to get used to that. None of the "cool effect" sites I click recently work directly on Opera.
Guess it's soon time to resign from that browser. I love it, but it's just getting tiring to have to use "open with chrome" with so many sites.
