apple should have been investing for years already in mpeg7.

sadly, like most other strategic technologies, apple would prefer to hone its skills as a systems integrator / oem of other people’s (proprietary) technology rather than do the hard work of building its its own platform based on nexgen technology.

to make them a real computer company (again).

sigh.
