FaceTime was supposed to be open source or an open protocol (I think the latter) once upon a time a decade ago.

- MBCook 6y agoMy understanding of the story is Steve Jobs just decided to say that when he announced it without checking with the lawyers, and it probably ran into patent problems.
- skinnymuch 6y agoAh okay. I know he announced it without checking first. It would have been nice for Apple to clarify why it could not happen. Hard to give the corporation that just gutted advertising for other companies while now pumping their own ad network up, any benefit of the doubt that isn’t a cynical view.
