[DM-MUG] Is Flip 4 Mac a cruel joke?

[Jeremy Geerdes]

From a webdev standpoint, the KCCI website is, well, not all that great. And the weather stuff in particular is a nightmare. I would not say that this is a problem with your Mac; it's a problem with their website. This morning when I tried with my Mac running 10.6.4 with Chrome, it actually froze the tab in Chrome so that I had to kill the page. In the past, I have tried with FF and had the same experience that you're having.

There are no problems watching video on it or seeing the static radar photo but when I click on the "Live Radar" button, it gives me a message saying I need a plug-in for my browser. Following that path thru several web pages always results in the error page on Safari.
