Disney to Kids with Macs: DROP DEAD!

Published by David HM Spector at 6:21 PM under Apple, Internet, Kids, Software

So, my 7 yr old daughter surfed on over to Disney this evening after finsihing her homework to play a few games.    No matter what game she tried to play she got a “redirect” message (see below – talk about your poor site design), and then a notice that the game she selected (and it turns out all of the games on the Disney site) are not supported if you’re a Macintosh user.   How sad…

And, how ironic given that the largest shareholder of The Walt Disney Company is none other than Steven P. Jobs.

I wonder, does Apple know that Disney isn’t interested in kids who use Macs?

    As a Disney stockholder and Mac user (and Apple Stockholder too, btw), this is really a poor choice.
    Though, I noticed that when I go to book a Disney vacation, the sites all work just fine. It’s all (or mostly) flash.
    Why can’t they make the games the same way?
