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.

First thing Cook said after that was "Thank goodness that can't actually happen".

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.

It's hard to not sound fake when your main announcement is about adding a Toy Story watchface to a watch.

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...

Hard to go from underdog to the most valuable public company in the world and stay subversive

I remember this one guy at Apple who made it seem possible by saying no a lot.

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

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.

The tall gray haired guy seems to be a Jobsian figure, in appearances.
