Sorry about the Google love fest this morning.
It won't happen again.
However, we made this. Don't know why I didn't post it.

One of the most impressive web experiments I've ever seen. Amazing.
It's literally just launched. (We work with Google, so got a heads up.)
You heard it here first...

I will have a good play with this in the afternoon ;)
Have been using Chrome since it came out but always using Firefox as my main browser.
Just recently with the Flash problem on Firefox I switched everything over to Chrome.
I make sites and use a lot of tools so I always thought it would be hard to switch - in the end I got every tool replaced and a few more thrown in with only ten mins of looking on the store.
Top tip for anyone looking at moving to Chrome - use Lostpass to gather all your passwords in one file then when you open sites in Chrome it will autofill any logins for you so the move becomes seemless and if you dont like it you can revert back with no problems.
Shit I look like a shill for google!! but I am really impressed with the latest builds of Chrome and the way it works with my android also.

Shall play with it tomorrow.
Slightly off topic, but html5 animation is just going to go the way of flash, isn't it (ie everywhere then nowhere)?
Not to discredit the animator - they've done a great job and it looked really nice, but it didn't half slow down getting to the ideas, which is kind of why websites evolved away from using so much flash animation, and most users won't care if something is in flash or html.

WebGL is phenomenal to work with, and the stuff we're seeing done with it is near PC graphic levels just a few years back.

You only really want to see good graphics when you've gone somewhere to look at graphics. When you want info, you want that info displayed clearly and quickly.
I worry for a return of splash pages on commercial sites.
(I only bring the subject up here because it was an impressive example of what can be done with it graphically, btw - got me thinking of what will happen when/if it starts getting used more widely)
( , Thu 19 Jul 2012, 0:50, Reply)

but I can definitely see what your saying with regards to designers lumping unnecessary animations and graphics everywhere. The best designers should always consider UX/UI first, but we know that rarely happens. I've not had a need to use canvas yet, though I have used some of the transforms and transitions to animate links, tabs and headers and the like. Know your limits though...

The teleporter page took ages to load then all three places you can visit said error - we are having problems loading the codec.

Using the vanilla Chrome browser can have its limitations.
Try this: It's the Beta version, generally packed with all the bells 'n whistles.

watching some Metal Hammer video thing, and they showed a clip from a Morbid Angel gig, when his 5 year old brother walked in the room, stared at the screen for 2 minutes, then turned and said 'That man is very silly'
We all kind of looked at each other, thinking 'he's right...'

you still don't know which bits and what they've done to them. It's still a mammoth jigsaw puzzle to pull it all together from a sample list.

Come on now...
"You love your job and the people too
Making a difference is what you do
But consider all you have at stake
The time is now don't make a mistake
Because the enemy prowls, wanting to attack
But we're on the wall, we've got your back
So get out front and take the lead
And be the winner you were born to be
G4S! protecting the world
G4S! so dreams can unfurl
24/7 every night and day
A warrior stands ready so don't be afraid
G4S! secure in your world
G4S! let your dreams unfurl
We're guarding you with all our might
Keeping watch throughout the night"

I own an iPhone. And as much as I hate the smugness and elitism of Apple; I gave in because it's one of the most technologically perfect pieces of kit I've ever owned.
I know it's cool to hate Apple because of their questionable business practices, and the fact that owning an Apple product DOES make you look like a fud.
But as long as you're modest about your purchase, and haven't bought it just to beat the Joneses/sit in Starbucks showing it off like a fud...well then personally you're a bit of a fud for not considering an Apple product in the first place.
Jake Budd is a complete nobjabber, but he writes some fantastic music.
The fact I want to kick his cunt in doesn't detract from my enjoyment of his music.
The same philosophy applies to Apple for me. I'm not proud to be a fan of Apple's stuff at all. But fucking hell, the stuff they bring out is fantastic.

At the end of the day, Apple are cunts. But Microsoft are VASTLY more cunty. How many of us have qualms about using their products though?
It's a depressing necessity.

I don't own an iPhone (one was provided for me for business use) and I heartily agree it's a superb out-of-office piece of kit. I don't own one because I have no need for all the apps, gps, GB's of music or whatever cos I'm an old git and can't be bothered with it all. The tablet saga is just another step in the 'look at me and my amazing gizmo' trend which I really don't need or want.
Mini-rant over. Gotta be up early to buy wifey a tablet. Any betan's know which one is a good'un? (not iPad, I am not earning enough)
