    As predicted, Steve Jobs has given the thumbs down to WebM.

    But remember, guys, APPLE IS ALL ABOUT BEING OPEN ON THE WEB.

    Just not with WEB CONTENT.

      Do they bother giving any sort of horse**** justification for nixing it?

        In typical ******* fashion, all he did was reply to the question with the link to the x264 developer's anti-VP8 rant linked above in this thread.

            Actually, I am pretty sure you can't. He is one of the few CEO types who are actually worth their salary.

                His protectionist policies aren't great for the world but are generally proving to be good financially for Apple. (I think)

                  Is he still getting paid $1/yr?

                    Hey, I'm a poor ex-student. I could do with that dollar.

                        Yeah. He wants to be absolute gate keeper who decides what people with Apple hardware can or cannot buy using those devices. That makes Apple money but I'd be pissed if I was a customer. Who wants to be forced to only buy stuff from just one store, the store Apple owns? Still, Apple has tons of fanboys who will do anything Steve Jobs tells them to do so I guess he doesn't have to care about competition.

                          It's just history repeating itself.

                          iPhones will be a profitable niche market, just like Macs are. Blown opportunity for market domination. Steve Jobs just doesn't get it.

                          Before someone brings up iPods again, they're down like 18% in sales again this year.

                            Been testing this in the Firefox 4 nightly builds. add &webm=1 to YouTube URLs on any supporting browser and it'll play.

                            Even plays 720p fullscreen with the HTML5 player (no Flash): http://yfrog.com/f/mg22rp/
