It's only possible today because of the current state of the Web. A web locked-down by Microsoft from 1994 up to today would have resulted in a locked-down network where only Microsoft products are allowed to access it, ActiveX everywhere, etc.
Heck, don't people remember those IE-only websites? That wasn't even a decade ago!
And going with a locked-down, Microsoft-created format is better how, exactly? And iPod/iTunes was compatible with MP3 from day one. I don't know any non-nerd who uses Vorbis or FLAC.
And at least Apple had the insight of going with AAC, developed by Dolby, instead of trying to re-create the wheel like Microsoft always does.
Take a screenshot with Windows: Microsoft BMP. Like there wasn't enough graphic formats at the time. Take a screenshot on Mac OS X: 24-bit PNG (Open format which already existed).
Default audio format with Windows: Microsoft WMA. MP3 and VQF were available at the time. Default audio format with Apple: AAC (developed by Dolby)
Safari isn't "further down" for OS X users. It's the default browser for Macs, IE is non-existant and Firefox on OS X has been a joke for quite some time (memory hungry, extremely slow to start). The only real options for browsing on a Mac are Safari, Chrome and Opera, with Firefox in a distant fourth.
In any case, Safari and Chrome both use Webkit, which powers Apple Safari and Google Chrome. By August 2011 they held nearly 30% of desktop browser market share between them.
Which is dumb when you think about it. If your application doesn't require all the latest features and a lot of CPU/GPU power, why cut yourself from potential sales? There's a lot of iOS3 devices out there.

Just be glad that Netscape didn't sell out.
Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
Considering that laptops are now the majority of sales, it's becoming more and more pointless.
I stand corrected. However my point still stands that Apple didn't develop their own CODEC, they just used one that already existed, unlike Microsoft.
You should try to encore anything by Britney Spears at 0kbps. The sound quality is amazing!
Next thing you know they'll release the specifications for the proprietary PNG file format they use when you do a screen capture on Mac OS X! /sarcasm

It's $1.20, not $1.2005347809
You have to watch all episodes to "get it". Don't judge by the first season, especially for Kramer.
Blame American-Style Titles Where Every Word Is Capitalized.

Didn't you notice the "Kramer" at the beginning? It's a quote from a Seinfeld episode.
Should "of"?

And I can't wait to play Leisure Suit Larry on one of these.

Why did they use the ATmega32u? IMHO a better choice would have been the ATmega328. Instant compatibility with Arduino libraries.
The LCD itself has internal RAM to display the image.
I don't think the iPod touch has to access its internal flash storage via a slow SPI interface.
If two inches of snow can shut down your town, you're not living in Canada.
I don't know if it's a "wooooosh", an explanation of the joke itself, in which case you killed it, or a weird Seinfeld reference.
For some reason I imagined Phil Myman saying that.
Did all manufacturers get hit by the flood? If not, lawsuits of price fixing might follow if they all start to increase prices for no reason.
