Unless you meant consistently uncooperative lately. . .
Errr, if you read my post you quoted you will read "open web." I didn't mention any of those other technologies. Apple doesn't have to support any and all standards. But if it supports a standard, I haven't seen any evidence that it revokes its patents and then tries to sue the pants off of people who used them thinking the use of them was already paid for. I wonder who that could be.
As for web widgets? Why exactly does a standard need to be made for those? The internet won't break if there is no standard for a widget. Touch? Maybe. Depends upon what others have to offer. Why make it a standard if you are the only one contributing anything. Digital books? I would like to agree with you except for the fact that no one pushed for it before until Apple made a device that caused consumption of digital books to skyrocket. What were these organizations doing for the last decade?

Understood. And FWIW I agree the thread has strayed far from it's original intent. I mentioned Apple only in passing with rregard to FRAND problems as a whole, which I should have anticipated would become the focus as well as attract complaints. My apologies.
Stop hijacking the goddamn thread with your FUD bullshit. IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS YOUR ENTIRELY UNSUBSTANTIATED THEORY THAT APPLE IS SUBVERTING WEB STANDARDS, START YOUR OWN THREAD.

Why the hell would Apple want an open "touch standard" ?! By your reasoning, Apple should just give away their IP for free to every leach that desires it.
You forget how 'open' the web was before Apple influenced it. Remember the dominance of IE? Flash? etc

This will end as fast as it started. Someone is doing a favour for someone else, that is the only reason why this is taken place. Nothing will ever come of it.

I don't believe they are consistent in their approach to open standards. A standard on web widgets? Nope, Apple won't contribute their IP to W3C.

How about a touch standard? No again, Apple's IP is more valuable as a bludgeon.

Well what about the open books standard? Nope, again not in Apple's interest.

See post 43. I already agreed with you.

I'm keeping the rest of my comments to Motorola.

Fair enough.
I don't know that applies specifically to Apple, nor was that claim made by me. ...
Classic GG, the hit and run when he gets called on his bull.
Is there anyone here who doesn't think he's being paid for this?

At which point, he apparently had nothing to say.
