Something to keep in mind about the Apple-Adobe tiff


Adobe screwed up

After Steve Jobs took over and he was charting out a new course with OS X, Apple reached out many times to Abode to introduce a native version of their suite for the new OS. Adobe never committed – standing by its prediction that OS X would never gain momentum or share and it would ride the Windows ascendancy. Adobe thought that it had the dominant hand and displayed its arrogance in public.
Sorry Adobe, you screwed yourself

There's more.

Way to go, Adobe! Here's a software development company whose "talent acquisition system" software, apparently, doesn't even work on standards-based browsers.

Further, a developer at Adobe—a company which was started by ex-Apple employees and became a big company through, initially, selling Mac-only software—is urging Apple employees to apply for jobs through a system that doesn't support Macs.

No, I am not saying that Apple is perfect and can do no wrong. I'm pointing out that it is a PR battle, and Apple's "closed standards" don't quite mean what you've been told.

Oh, by the way. There isn't a single handheld out there right now that actually runs Flash.

Learn to read between the lines.
