Interesting Websites

Introduction

Here are some interesting websites. At the moment there are only processor heavy pages mentioned here. Apple doesn't like Flash and I can see why, because it comsumes so much battery power if you are using a laptop or a mobile device, such as iPod or iPad. Perfetti van Melle's globe page is an example of a processor heavy Flash page. Shaun the Sheep is for testing HTML5.
