Pretty funny how that sentence is preceded by "based on open standards".
It could simply be that no one else has implemented those open standards. Apple isn't responsible for adding support to other platforms, so it's technically accurate if the standards are indeed open, regardless of whether other people have chosen to implement them.
Amazing, they completely turn that first paragraph into a huge oxymoron. Let's see, we have this beautiful HTTP Live Streaming technology based on open standards but somehow it can only be appreciated on a Mac or iPhone... This must be one of those standards hated by everyone else...

You might just be right. Large parts of the tech press probably aren’t happy that they can now pay much more attention and do critical and profound write ups afterwards. They would much rather just transcribe every word Jobs says and frantically upload photos :-) (It probably costs the tech sites a lot of page views, so I can certainly understand why they wouldn’t be happy about it.)
Large parts of the tech press probably aren’t happy that they can now pay much more attention and do critical and profound write ups afterwards. They're journalists. Their job is to gather information. I'd be surprised if the only way a site like Ars Technica or TUAW could get information is by waiting for a stream from Apple. The point of videos is for everyone else who isn't a journalist and didn't get invited to a…

It's just a draft yet so it's not an open standard yet http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-...

If they were resumes, Apple would get the job.
...and if they were bio's on an online dating site, I would think Apple is a self-obsessed douchebag (disclaimer: typing this on a macbook)

I love how unambiguous Apple is about their feelings on their own products in press releases. Consider Microsoft: > Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq “MSFT”) is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential. Now Apple: > Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork, and professional software. Apple…
To me, though, those two opinions seem no sillier than Microsoft's claim that their software helps people "realize their full potential."
"Viewing requires either a Mac® running Safari® on Mac OS® X version 10.6 Snow Leopard®, an iPhone® or iPod touch® running iOS 3.0 or higher, or an iPad™." I guess windows and linux users need not apply.
I believe the VLC folks are working on HTTP live streaming support. Microsoft has implemented it in SilverLight but not in WMP yet. I'm sure Apple is (partly) doing this to kickstart the standard.
I'm sure this has a lot to do with the broadcasters supporting it already for the iPad. Some of them have done so since before launch. The new Apple TV platform will surely build on top of that and I'm guessing you will get to see the same iPad CBS app running on a TV.

help people and businesses realize their full potential
Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork, and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple is reinventing the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced its magical iPad which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices
Consider Google they dont claim to be creators of Best Search Engine and Great email service, rather its "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful".
