Bingo, "press releases" are the operative words. And who does those?
Marketing. I just went through a product release where marketing
put a
bunch of hype on the technology making it sound like it was much more
than it actually was.
I'm not saying that Apple products are bad or that their technology is
bad. But to most of us in the industry they're just "another
machine." :)
Well if I recall correctly what they said was that as a member of the
JPEG group they got the nod, that's all. At the time everyone was
worried MS would get it. Of course that hasn't stopped others from
having their own spec for MPEG-4. Personally I wish it was all Open
Source, seems to make much more sense for everybody.
There's nothing more annoying than finding a website (for ex. VH1's
video section) that runs on only one OS and one browser.
