"Your browser doesn’t support live streaming of the event." Running latest Firefox.

Also latest Chrome. Few companies could get away with this UX, but Apple is one of them.

HLS is an open standard (and a very simple one); Firefox and Chrome have just avoided implementing it for some reason.

I know that opening commercial was intended to show how much we depend on apple and its services - but its kinda a great argument against centralized services... kinda weird really.

I'd love to see the "1984" commercial played right before that one to contrast how much Apple has changed. From a message of empowering people with technology to "You're stupid without us" condescension...

Watching this kinda makes me miss Steve Jobs. I feel like he was one of the only people who could get up on stage and act enthusiastic about their products without seeming fake.

Oh yes, the modern version of Javascript: ECMAScript 5. I'm impressed that Safari is so modern that it finally supports this.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

From my reading, it appears off of any standards track it might have had -- it remains something Apple made up and can change however they like.

Which would be a great reason for not implementing it in an open browser.

x265 makes me the _most_ excited. The faster it goes mainstream the smaller my Plex library will get. Thank you Apple for pushing things forward again.
