Okay so before I even got to the actual experiment I was impressed that the music on the page only plays while you are currently viewing the page, so if you are on another tab the music stops! I want to know how to just do that!

Re: Chrome World Wide Maze
#52I would love to see some apps better integrated - basic stuff like calendar and todo (BTW check out http://drive.google.com/keep - it's a rival to Evernote) That was solved and properly done tens of years ago on the palm. Why can't I have something at least as good right into the browser, synced with my google account?? (Edit: not the wrong place since you already do your mail with a browser... and keep your contacts…
Eventually every software evolves to include email natively.

#53I see no reason why this should be a Chrome exclusive in PC only mode. Firefox supports WebGl.
You're technically right (and I found it annoying too) - but it is a "Chrome" expriment... naturally it would only support Chrome.
its a website. one of many, that is chrome only.
makes IE looks like a good citizen these days

#54Doesn't seem to do anything with a Nexus 7. And it does have an accelerometer and gyroscope.
Worked for me too. Felt a bit laggy, like steering a boat going real slow, still amazing.

Well, Mozilla didn't make their BananaBread experiment Firefox only: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/detail/bananabread

Yes, that's what I've been dreaming of ever since I first saw a smartphone. I'm very surprised it isn't as obvious to other people how cool it would be. The smartphone is the perfect game controller. For example a strategy game played on a TV together with friends where each phone is not only used for controls but also showing (private) game data and more!
No, it's not a perfect game controller. A convenient one maybe, but not perfect, not even good. It has the same problem that you would encounter if you tried touch typing on an iphone keyboard. It has no physical feedback so you have no idea if you are pressing the correct button (or any button at all) on the phone screen unless you are actually looking at it. Which means you won't be able to look at the TV screen at…
Don't you think the reality is some middle ground? It's a perfect game controller for some games.

I haven't looked at the source code but according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/Using_the_Page_..., you can simply register a onblur / onfocus event handler on the window object (this doesn't use the recent Page Visibility API, it's been possible for a long time)

Couldn't agree more. Instead of promoting cross-browser web standards in a cooperative manner, they're pretending they couldn't support other browsers in a sad attempt to win more users. Not going to happen.
