SI/AAPL discussions of Open QT/Final Cut/RNWK. >Open QT is a requirement because RealVideo has so much market share. Now, though, when people work on new applicatiosn that can use video, why not just include QT for free? It won't just be Apples player, but everywhere: Mozilla, Linux apps, etc.< exchange2000.com >The [Final Cut] target market extends from Television Production that needs quick editing, including film production to do rough cuts of dailies at higher quality and lower cost... all the way down to kids with a camcorder who want to make home movies.< exchange2000.com >RNWK will have to open source soon to survive. Sounds dramatic, I know, but the growth rate for open source products is amazing -- giving away your player for free isn't enough anymore< exchange2000.com >The best way to make money in the market is to be educated. Ask Peter Lynch if you don't believe me. I'd rather invest in a company that makes money off its products (AAPL) than one that doesn't (RNWK).< exchange2000.com Bongagong, Those marketing announcements are impressive to be sure. However online broadcasting is a medium not yet in its infancy. Also, I also don't think any of those agreements are exclusive to RNWK. As far as I'm concerned, the higher RNWK stock goes, the better for AAPL. Because AAPL has a competing product, AAPL shareholders/analysts can point to RNWK shares as a rough yardstick of valuing QT. AAPL and RNWK now have about the same market cap of $5B (+/-), assuming the market accords Quicktime technology only 25% of RNWK's value, AAPL would get a like increase in share price. Many on the AAPL have been envying RNWK's runup and have been calling for a QT spinoff. [AAPL has just announced it's calling its convertible notes effective 6/1, so I would expect no such dramatic announcement till then.] So ... go up RNWK!
