"he also said Jobs' claims about Flash affecting battery life are "patently false,"

O RLY Mr. Narayen? I would like to personally invite you to come to my house and listen to my MacBook fan while I watch Flash-based video and compare it to the sound my fan makes while I'm watching QuickTime and/or h.264-based video.

Since you're a software guy, perhaps I need to explain to you that the battery powers the fan. It also powers the processor, which - being irrationally overtaxed by a standard-def Flash video - runs hot (while sucking more power), consequentially firing up the fan (and sucking more power).

A Flash-free Web sounds perfectly great to me.]]>Apr 29th 2010 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/adobes-ceo-jobs-flash-letter-is-a-smokescreen-for-cumberso/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/adobes-ceo-jobs-flash-letter-is-a-smokescreen-for-cumberso/

Itunes and Quicktime blow up my gaming machine. I get all kinds of errors and crashes when quicktime loads; or it might not load at all. And if it does load, the usage is so high, I might as well not do anything else. And I finally uninstalled that annoyware called iTunes.

Why not just put Flash as an app in the App Store like webOS is doing? You could even post a warning that it will drain your battery and maybe cause crashes. That way those people who want Flash can get it, and those who don't can steer clear. And if it gets to be too much of a pain then anyone can just delete it. Apple-Win because people get Flash if they want it. Adobe-Win, flash gets on another device (maybe not great but at least it does). People-Win.

How do you know that apple sales are 50% of Adobe's business? They don't break out sales based on platform in their filings and that information isn't available on line. Just a good guess to support your theory that Adobe would be stupid to stop producing product for that platform. Listen, I know of many design shops that would jump at running a Linux based version of CS?. Many of them apple based and Windows based. And the number of Windows based design shops is growing substantially. I'd also venture that many apple based designers wouldn't hold out for an apple replacement but would likely move to Win7 and run software they're already familiar with. Besides, everyone knows that Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro all run better on Windows 7 than they do on any apple platform.]]>Apr 30th 2010 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/adobes-ceo-jobs-flash-letter-is-a-smokescreen-for-cumberso/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/adobes-ceo-jobs-flash-letter-is-a-smokescreen-for-cumberso/Apr 30th 2010 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/adobes-ceo-jobs-flash-letter-is-a-smokescreen-for-cumberso/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/adobes-ceo-jobs-flash-letter-is-a-smokescreen-for-cumberso/Apr 30th 2010 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/adobes-ceo-jobs-flash-letter-is-a-smokescreen-for-cumberso/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/adobes-ceo-jobs-flash-letter-is-a-smokescreen-for-cumberso/Steve said so in his essay.
