Updated: This works in Chrome/Mac now (30 October) but my balkanization concern remains relevant, especially since this DOES WORK with Safari. Just use that “look … [at your] own risk” link.
1. New CBS 60 Minutes Website In Safari
According to TechCrunch, CBS has created a Chrome-specific website ["Chrome App"] for 60 Minutes that “delivers high-quality video of “60 Minutes” program content, starting with the recently aired interview of Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs’s biographer.”
Based upon the screen capture in the Chrome Store compared with the screen capture on my MBP, as well as the fact that no video launches for me, this app only works with Chrome for Windows. TechCrunch says the app uses HTML5 and CSS3 animations.
This balkanization — lack of accessibility — is a problem.
Having news content balkanized in discrete mobile apps is troublesome; having a platform and browser-specific news website is antithetical to the ethic of the web.
Not only is it wrong, it’s antithetical to the spirit of HTML5/CSS as well.
