What's immature about it? He called out the list of reasons that caused him to lose interest in working at Google, and he did it articulately. There was no name-calling or whining. Kudos to him for being honest and moving on.

Flash video is H.264.

Well, I AM a sound engineer, and not only are the "field of recording" and the "recording industry" completely interconnected, but particularly in the context of the Grammys the distinction you are making does not exist. To the Grammys, the "field of recording" IS the "recording industry". Perhaps that fact is objectionable, but that has nothing to do with anyone's feelings about Steve Jobs in particular. He fits the award just fine.

How is it a crock? Perhaps his contributions to the recording industry were negative or damaging, but it's absurd to argue they weren't significant.

He doesn't ignore the existence of Netfix or iTunes at all, he champions them. And he's not arguing that anyone give everything away for free, he's arguing that a reasonable business model is the best way to counter the threat of piracy.

Maybe try actually reading the article.

So "not very" then.

Not only that, it's "mobile device makers, including RIM, Nokia, and Apple". Who else? I smell Android fanboy.

Oh good, I was afraid we might have a thread without moronic Apple cracks. Thanks for putting things right, AC!

You are not the customer.

Oh, what a big strong man you are. You sure showed him.

I watched as idiots here proclaimed loudly that the iPad would be an utter failure. I asked them if, in the event that turned out to be false, would they admit they were wrong? Now those folks are jumping all over every Apple story loudly proclaiming their machismo, that only wimps use a tablet and real men would never.

How long before people just accept change and move on?

To pay for software? Well, capitalism is the system we have. What alternative do you propose? "I should be able to do whatever I want for free" hasn't worked out.

There's no rent to run iOS. You have to pay for some apps, as you should, and some are free.

You mean "rent" to be a developer? This is nothing new.
