Safari 4 welcome page is down

[Michaelgtrusa]

For any that like the safari 4 welcome start up page will be sad to learn that it's down this morning! I don't know what the deal is.

I don't know if it was just you or if it was a very short thing but it's up for me and my iMac now.

What is the Safari 4 welcome page and what is special about it? Could you post a link. Is this a page you have set as your home page?

I still wonder how do they make the animation though, cause its not flash...or is it??

I think it is Flash encoded but probably created in Motion or After Effects. I work in video and this would be possible with Motion (with Photoshop) or, more easily, After Effects. For most of our videos that go online, they get Flash encoded in the web department and they will put on the website, it loads much faster that way.

The compass is a .mov
A quick look at the code shows it...

The rest appears to be CSS animation and a java file by the looks

It's HTML5 and CSS3.
