It’s stupid when web developers design by explicit inclusion rather than exclusion. We’ve covered this.<\/p>\n
I was invited to a “webex” presentation that I couldn’t watch, for love or money, from my Apple.<\/p>\n
The truly infuriating bit was that the error message came from the Java client that the page wanted my browser to run. All four browsers I tried (IE, Netscape, Safari, and FireFox) loaded the java just fine. All four of them started up the JVM just fine. (For the non-technical folks, the JVM is (or ought to be) totally independent of the web browser) And on every single one of these browsers, their code happily displayed “Netscape on OS X is not supported by WebEx.”<\/p>\n
Okay, morons. If you’re going to buy into the hype and use Java, at least have some goddamn faith that it’s going to work on some arbitrary platform. And at very<\/b> least, say “your JVM isn’t updated,” not this bull-crap thing about “I don’t know what this browser is so it must be Netscape.”<\/p>\n
