Oh neat, I didn't realize there were more pages to click on. I thought it was just some videos or whatever. The entire page is pretty much blank except for some text explaining what it is. The page itself doesn't even load properly for me in FF.

Edit: Hmm. Now everything works. When I went to the site earlier, it was nothing but a blank white page (with the Apple headers on top) and the text that I quoted. The text was in grey so it was obvious there was supposed to be some kind of background element or something... I just assumed it wasn't loading for the same reason a lot of the HTML5 stuff doesn't work in FF. Looks like they were still finalizing some of the content on the page.

...and now I see what they mean by that popup message. It comes up when you try to click on a video or whatever. I don't care about that really, it just pissed me off that I kept getting a half-rendered page and couldn't see the same thing the guy writing the article was talking about.

Anyway, putting that aside, I think people need to remember that Google sells advertising. They need their adds to show up on every platform on the planet, which is why they include everybody's products when they do something. Apple is under no obligation to promote someone else's product, and doing so can actually hamper their ability to make money... whereas Google has to promote everyone's products, as it's the only way they make money.

I still haven't figured out those Mozilla guys yet, though. I don't know which angle they're playing, but nobody stays in the "free browser" game this long without getting something back out of it.
