If extra effort is applied, Flash can communicate with the "containing" or "enclosing" web page via javascript and control the browser history and affect the back button and other aspects.

It's a completely Flash-based site, non-web standards (browser [Back] button won't work, [Refresh] reverts to home page instead of refreshing the current page, resizing controls don't work, not picked-up by search engines), frequent crashes, not viewable on iPhone/iPad, etc.

I'm not a fan of Flash at all for these reasons. Although, the site is pretty, and (unlike most sites) seems to auto-resize depending on the window size, a nice feature.




+1 and amen to that. It quite unfortunate they chose to make their new site entirely flash based. Apple is working very hard to make flash on the Internet go away. An open standards based web is a better web. I'll offer them my technical skills if the PPS gets back to a nickel. I'll offer free services if the PPS gets up to $1 with no RS.

All that said, it's a better web site than what came before.
