It's doubtful Gruber will address this, as it would be a bit like hammering a square (logic) into a circle (Apple).
My personal fav:
If Apple were to switch to WebM and drop H.264 tomorrow,
would you then herald it as a great move?
Most likely. PowerPC to Intel, anyone?
- redrobot5050 16y agoApple supported PowerPC for 2 years after the transition. Ignoring that fact, well said.
- danudey 16y agoAnd PowerPC content (applications) worked fine on Intel Machines for years (and still does if you install Rosetta). The same couldn't be said if Apple dropped support for H.264. Old content would cease to work immediately.
- redrobot5050 16y agoWell, you could use VLC or an application that does not rely on system codecs or quicktime, but you are exactly right.
- guywithabike 16y agoApple moved away from PowerPC because it was increasingly becoming a vastly inferior technology. h.264 is not a vastly inferior technology.
