I'm generally not worried about Apple, I think they are a great company, and their ethics and soul are made apparent by incredible products. If Apple produced only the iPad, the iPhone, the iMac or the MacBook that would be enough to earn them the adoration of geeks. Additionally, Apple democratized filmmaking by dropping the floor of the cost of editing on professional-grade hardware. Just six years ago, every independent film had to find tens of thousands of dollars to rent an "Avid." Apple also invented Quicktime and popularized1 H.264 compression, which dramatically improved the quality of video on desktops, mobile devices and the web.
But sadly, if you look at Apple's YouTube channel, you'll find videos of press conferences, ads for products, and weird short ditties about how their competitor's products are flawed — since when does Apple care about competitors? This effort is out of sync with Apple's creative roots.
