I agree with adobe here. Maybe it doesn't run well, but if the web is to be truly open,then it should be open to all technologies, proprietary or not.
One company shouldn't dictate what you see on an open web and what you don't.]]>May 13th 2010 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/May 13th 2010 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/

Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited
'Cause we're reunited, hey, hey

First picture is cringe worthy. If Adobe is in love with Apple, then why does my Macbook sound like a jet plane every time I visit the open web?

I used to use the resource hog /super buggy linux closed source flash viewer a lot. And it used to be so frustrating that half the websites out there relied on flash.

I'm on adobe's side here. The fact is that Apple is taking away choice. This isn't about mobile internet porn, this is about how apple got rid of flash for developers. The real reason apple doesn't like adobe is because flash on the iPhone is less profitable.

What I love the most is how steve-o is pushing for html5 when in reality his average customer doesn't even know what that is and doesn't care. But I bet that customer knows what flash is! ]]>May 13th 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/

Apple isn't dictating what you see on the web. You have a choice to use another platform. Apple isn't taking Flash away from everyone who uses the internet. Only users on its OWN MOBILE platform. I can still see Flash on my desktop Safari browser. I just choose not to see Flash in most cases since I use ClickToFlash.

On the other hand, Adobe has no right to dictate to Apple what it can and cannot use on its own platform. If that's the case, Apple should be able to dictate to Adobe to develop a set of HTML5 tools that are equal to Flash for platforms that don't actually want to use plug-ins.

Apple had never started a campaign telling any other mobile platform not to support Flash. Apple only said it doesn't want to use Flash on its own platform because of their stated reasons whether they be true or not. Adobe could easily have gone on about its business developing Flash for all the other platforms without a single word or concern about Apple's decision.]]>May 13th 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/May 13th 2010 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/May 13th 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/adobe-targets-apple-in-ad-campaign-launched-today-publishes-ope/

The way I look at it, Adobe is asking other vendors to support the open standard AND make an exception to support their Flash as well. I love many things from Adobe, but this argument is really childish. Apple simply said that their mobile device is not suitable for such heavy load tasks and they don't plan to support any non-open web standard, it's really not towards Adobe's Flash only.

The famous section 3.3.1 thing is a different issue. Adobe might have a chance there. But if they try to mix these two issues together, it might end up damage themselves. ]]>May 13th 2010 12:07PM
