Steve Jobs is a captain of industry in a monopolistically competetive market. True to form, he is plying his own flavor of monopoly, no different than Microsoft. Apple deals in a monopolistic package and it always has. It's just been such a cute monopoly with such a good line of marketing BS about its openness that its adherents don't care.
Don't expect him to play nice unless it suits his current strategy. YouTube is antagonistic to Apple's strategy, so of course they won't play nice. -- Rhett. http://www.weatherlight.com/freetime Steve Watkins wrote: >I didnt exactly get a warm fuzzy feeling when I read these words... > >"Markoff: "Flash?" > >Jobs: "Well, you might see that." > >Markoff: "What about YouTube–" > >Jobs: "Yeah, YouTube—of course.
