I found the article bit disappointing. Basically the author focused almost exclusively on the failings of the browser. Of course I suppose that reflects on authors profession (being a writer for a web publication), but I would have hoped to see attempt at bit more diverse tasks.

Far too much of this navel gazing when reviewing products from the tech press these days. Like the iPad being championed as a work device just because you can write up a blog post and a tweet on it and a complete disregard for any profession that isn't accomplished only via tweets and blog posts.

Hilarious a tech blog site being held up as a basic challenge for a web browser. IIRC the early WebKit team had extensive hacks and work arounds to make sure the abysmal code of major sites like this and newspapers actually rendered "correctly".


It fails at other things too.
