Did anybody else feel a bit offended by today's Google Doodle, the one
featuring the Moog?
Look at the line below the Doodle, suggesting that you "upgrade to a
modern browser." Thing is, the line will appear in every browser except
Chrome and its derivatives (it didn't show in Iron, which is basically
Chrome-minus-the-spying).
The fun thing is that they counted everything as a "modern browser" that
supports the Audio API that Google has invented but that isn't any kind
of agreed standard. Mozilla actually implements a quite good audio API
as well, but a different one that also isn't a standard at this time.
Right now, developers from Google and Mozilla (anyone else is invited it
it looks like those two parties are the only interested ones right now)
are working together to find a variant that both are happy with and
therefore can be put into an actual standard.
That some parts of Google apparently didn't know about that and created
this Doodle in a way that assumed that Chrome implements an actual
standard and that only browsers implementing that API are "modern" is
probably something the developers working on that audio API are also not
happy with (at least experience from other incidents lead me to believe
that). And yes, I heard that there's a fallback solution in the Doodle
going to Flash instead - if you have it installed and enabled.
