Re: Where is the advantage?



Dear Colin, 99 % of all people understand google as search engine. There are situations with DSS where google cannot help you, but all lot of problems are allready discussed on this list or somewhere else. And if you are friendly, people will help you. Maybe it is different if it is obvious that you work for some company like Wal Mart or Hallyburton or some other "bad people".

In general I see no advantagte in paid services, they are not better than the "community", but I understand that there are situation where nice people are trying something new and are in some hurry and need a team around them of people, that can be reached by phone etc.

Surprise, surprise, there was no Apple bashing involved;-)

This being a streaming list, I assume you are referring to Google's great
hardware and software offerings in the streaming/encoding space? Or maybe
their content distribution network? Or their media player software? Funny, I
can't seem to find a lot that Google does in this space, other than letting
people find video content encoded/stored/streamed from elsewhere.

Maybe you mean we can use Google to find information about running servers
and supporting ourselves. In that case, I agree they are great, but come on,
in this arena you can't even put them on the same page as Apple or any of
the other server vendors, or software developers, who work with streaming.

What can Apple do for you that google cannot do?

But if you're getting a platform
for *QuickTime Streaming*, I'd also argue that a commercial vendor-
supported solution for said task (QTSS) might be in order depending
on the importance of your project. Some might even consider that
worth extra dollars.
