Eh. They did a vanity site to promote a product. When Goog starts adding /marquee/ tags and VBScript to their browser, I'll start getting worried about "openness."
Chrome does not support ? Interesting.

Funny how, for web developers, "standards" is not about something being actually fucking standard.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
"this article is written with the obvious intention of bashing google" i agree, it is way faster to develop for just 1 browser, plus we should be celebrating people are trying to break ground doing this awesome videos, i can only begin to imagine all the impressive work that what went into this video, good one google +1
I hope this was sarcastic, unfortunately I fear you're actually serious. Scary.
It is clear to me that this is a Google Chrome Experiment, from their labs, and that they did not had any intention of it working on any other browser but i got curious... i was doing some research on it and they appear to be using sync xhr calls which causes FF to hiccup even after all this time. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383304 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313646 they are marked a…

This is purely sensationalist bullshit, reading into actions that have no ulterior motives.
Useless article. This has nothing to do with "openness", just marketing: what is Google's incentive to building the site in the first place if they can't make people download Chrome to view it? That said, they could at least add a "Try it anyway" button for other browsers.
You only think it's "useless" because it bashes Google, obviously a company you like. You ask what Google's incentive is to build the site if they can't make people download Chrome to use it, which is a bizarre question that seems to admit that Google is not about open standards at all. If Google was all about open standards, it wouldn't matter which browser you used. The reality is that Google is not some benevolent…
I wasn't making the claim that "Google is about open standards at all", or that they are "some benevolent open source company". I would argue that they are not. I was in fact pointing out the author's own misunderstanding of this, as they seemed to expect Google to "be about open standards" and what not, which is ridiculous; they are a business, you should expect them to try to make money. None of what I have said is in any way "justifying" anything about Google, merely providing an obvious explanation for a trivial situation which the author of this article apparently couldn't grasp.

Chrome is free. Google builds websites to attract advertisers. Which makes Google's lack of openness all the more perplexing. And what's this about not being able to get the Android source!? I'll buy an iphone right now if that's true. At least Apple doesn't try and pretend they're not evil.
