I don't follow, Apple doesn't control H.264, HTML5 or even WebKit.
Or do you mean, pushing those items over adopting Flash? Even so, that's not Apple controlling the web platform, that's just Apple making sure Adobe doesn't control it.
- jasonlotito 17y ago"Apple doesn't control H.264, HTML5 or even WebKit." I didn't say they did. I didn't even imply they did. That's not even close to what I said. They do, however, want to control those technologies, and they want as much control as they can get. As for Flash, I don't see why this even came into it. I didn't mention it, or even consider it. However, Flash is one more example of Flash in control, and only strengthens my point. Basically, Apple isn't supporting H.264, HTML5, or WebKit to benefit the open nature of the web. They are supporting it because it gives them more control over their platform. Finally, as far as WebKit goes, they do control their version of it. They also control how they implement HTML5 on their platform. You can suggest they aren't doing this, but all their actions demonstrate the desire to do just this. Anyways, next time, focus on what I said. Not what you think I said.
