Don't know about the HTML5 demo site, but HTML5 itself isn't Apple's. It's an open standard. So go make your own demo site for cryin' out loud.

Besides, how does making a site browser-specific mean the end of the web or the personal computer? Your logic is faulty. If that were true then Microsoft and all the IE-specific sites would have already doomed the web.

Comment The pilot actually landed the plane (Score 3, Informative) 177

The controller doesn't land the plane. The controller works with pilots to keep the airspace and runway coordinated and air traffic moving smoothly. That's an essential job, but it doesn't include flying.

After all, there's no way (in a short time) to MacGyver a cell phone SMS to an autopilot. And this plane may not have an autopilot anyhow.

The pilot followed standard lost contact procedures and augmented them with the call to the controller. The controller wisely used SMS when voice was lost.

Anyhow, the article writer's hook for large commercial aircraft is nonsensical since this is a four-seat aircraft and wouldn't fall under those rules anyhow.
