Parallel lives

One day I’ll write a post entitled something like “Why HD doesn’t matter”, in which I will suggest that High Definition is merely a passing fad and relate this to the difference in one’s relationship between music and film. Until then, here’s a quote from John Gruber, who whilst picking at the drivel in a Wall Street Journal report regarding Flash, Adobe and Apple, writes this:

[Apple] have the opportunity to establish QuickTime and H.264 as the de facto standards for mobile video on the web.

I agree with John, apart from a couple of words which should be struck out, and two added. Here’s my alternative:

[Apple] have the opportunity to establish QuickTime and H.264 as the de facto standards for video and film.
