"BottledUnicornTears aka that iPad Post Part 2"

It's dropping soon and that other post is get too iPhone/iPod touch unfriendly. AND yes I'll be at my local Apple store on launch day, might even pick one up...maybe.

CBS doing that HTML5 stuff...in the open!

http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/cbs-testing-html5-ipad-video-out-in-the-open/
Hey Dan, ever heard of a staging area to do your testing? Apparently not judging by the screenshot above. MacRumors took that "iPad - test - dan config - 3" content from the CBS.com homepage for a spin and discovered what appears to be HTML5 (not Flash) video. A bit more sleuthing reveals several "webkit" (the foundation of the iPad's and iPhone's mobile Safari browser) calls after peeling open the CSS. This suggests that CBS is preparing to serve up parallel HTML5 content with the launch of the notoriously Flash-less iPad -- take that Hulu -- becoming yet another high-profile company swayed into providing video and other content in an Apple friendly format. Then again, maybe CBS is just testing a "what if" scenario with no intention of moving this into production any time soon. US netizens can try it themselves by setting your browser to spoof the iPad's user agent and hitting the source below (for as long as it lasts) but you'll need the iPad SDK Simulator to view the actual HTML5 videos.

I'm convinced that this thing will fragment the internets even more
Mar 25th 2010
1
style sheets solve that
Mar 25th 2010
2
I don't think they will
Mar 25th 2010
3
      xslt vs css
Mar 25th 2010
4
           all that requires more work
Mar 25th 2010
5
                they don't HAVE to make a special site
Mar 25th 2010
6
                     but we've already covered how that isn't a good solution.
Mar 25th 2010
7
                          maybe they'll just redirect ipad users to the digg app
Mar 25th 2010
8
                          yeah the whole website as an app thing is problematic

                               RE: yeah the whole website as an app thing is problematic
Mar 25th 2010
12
                          if they want to reach that consumer/viewer
Mar 25th 2010

                          that's good and well but that's not how this thing is marketed.

                               RE: that's good and well but that's not how this thing is marketed.
Mar 25th 2010
13
                               but how often are marketing claims a ruse?
Mar 25th 2010
14
                               true. sales speak is not to be trusted
Mar 25th 2010
15
                               your argument is tantamount to "there should be one programming language...
Mar 25th 2010
17
                                    to rule them all...and in the darkness bind them
Mar 25th 2010
18
                                    yes. let the geek flow.
Mar 25th 2010
19
                                         ^on that melange this one.
Mar 25th 2010
21
                                    my argument is this:
Mar 25th 2010
22
                          but that's exactly the point I'm making. xslt takes care of that
Mar 25th 2010
16
                               so it's okay to define a new transform for every device that comes out?
Mar 25th 2010
23
                                    yes. you do it once and never have to transform it again.
Mar 25th 2010
25
                                         sounds like a QA nightmare to me
Mar 25th 2010
26
                                              we have web standards?
Mar 26th 2010
28
                                                   clearly the biz has been inching towards standards for years
Mar 26th 2010
29
                                                        LMAO
Mar 26th 2010
30
                                                        inching is be generous.
Mar 26th 2010
32
just thinking out loud but...
Mar 25th 2010
20
that would be nice but I don't think it's done that way
Mar 25th 2010
24
I'll say this.

This is so church leadership like (-:
Mar 29th 2010
