    Is this a real problem, or that they just didn’t ask Dave. Of course, Dave’s so very objective about Apple anyway…

    Wow, he talks about Apple being disingenuous and misleading people. He says the world of Apple RSS and links to a photocast. So this one new technology that Mac is pushing to Mac users and seems to work on all Mac programs doesn’t work for Dave Winer and that means that the “world of Apple RSS” is busted? PLEASE.

    He should have put this part in the beginning: “Assuming their intentions are good and they’re not trying to kill RSS, why don’t they put some of us under NDA and let us help them get the bugs out before they ship.” Some of us? Who, bloggers? Or is he merely complaining that he wasn’t included again? Does Dave really need to be included every time any decision is ever made about RSS? I’m thinking no.

    I think it is actually funny reading. And I love how Dave tells Brent that he is an optimist over on Brent’s blog. Brilliant!

    Winer has a bee in his bonnet for Apple for a while now. In a recent post he says “I gotta say based on what I’ve seen so far they really like podcasting at Apple. You’re welcome Steve!” He’s still wanting a “thank you for inventing RSS Dave” from Apple. He’d probably want the thank you directly from Jobs too. Get over it. I’m not looking for the inventor of the keyboard, mouse, CPU, etc. to thank them all just because I use a PC.

    The arrogance (which he blames Jobs of having) is in abundance when he tells Guy Kawasaki that he can “help his company”.

    Is RSS “Thank you-ware”? :)

    You might like Dave or not, but he has a point.
    Apple ignored all work that had been done by MediaRSS (Yahoo, Flickr et al) and introduced a feed format that is not conform to RSS specs. It’s not yet a ‘photocast’, it’s a sissy wallpapercast.
