I think it's more browser specific thing. Good write up, maybe with Apple dropping it's prices and raising it's specs, more write ups like this and Micro$oft looking more like a lame duck, the iPod generation buying the desktop to match their player the Mac community will get some momentum behind it.

By default I think only text inputs are tab enabled. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts and select the "All Controls" at the bottom of the window. They really should change the default setting in my opinion but maybe it's a legacy thing that Mac people are used to.
