Conceivably, yes, but that's beside the point. My point is that comparing a Visual Studio Ultimate requirement to an XCode requirement is misrepresenting the weight of the XCode requirement. XCode is free and included with every copy of OS

I don't see it using the iPhone OS (too specialized for touch input), but providing an App Store for the AppleTV seems like a logical move.

It just seems like a contrived comparison. If the same situation involving Microsoft is so obviously outlandish, why embellish?

Neither is Windows.

> If Microsoft had a clause saying that you had to use Visual Studio Ultimate on Windows 7, they would get demolished. But XCode is free with every copy of OSX. If the same were true for Visual Studio Ultimate, I don't think it would

A "how this differs from PEP8" summary would be useful to me, assuming it differs.

Loading up http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/ and skipping to the examples is, I think, informative enough.

Kind of silly editorializing in the headline, no?

They said about as much as they could, which isn't much. Jobs didn't exactly leave them any wiggle room.

I haven't taken it as H.264 zealotry so much as an opposition to using Theora for reasons that practically boil down to idealism. A free, open standard that is also technically superior, well... that's a big win all around.
