Does anyone have a link to any example? There is none in the article and all the videos I can find on the Apple.com site are Quicktime videos.

I see it in Chrome, but not in FF3.5.

Browser detection.

I've never been a big fan of Apple's mouses... but this looks pretty sweet

I get a "download quicktime" message and a link to the QuickTime download for "Mac and PC". Then on the download page the options are OSX Tiger or Leopard (or later; http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/) ... no link for other platforms. No mention of Linux.

I'll bet by PC they mean MS Windows anyway?

Rubbish.

There's a video link on the front page to: http://www.apple.com/imac/the-new-imac/

The video provided is MP4/H264 so it'll only work under Safari (maybe Chrome?) with the <video> tag. Firefox will use the Quicktime plugin.

I saw this yesterday after their product launches and had to take a look at the source. I'm actually really excited about this.

In Apple style they really made the presentation awesome. I had to do a double take because the video looked as if it was playing in Quicktime X within the browser.

I actually saw this yesterday when I was trying to download the video for later watching when I was offline. It surprised me a little to see it on a production website, but I was thrilled to see it. It even has that "Quicktime X" look in Leopard, too.

Yet they also have odd junk like this in their page:
