Thread: Apple just got told!!!

Apple just got told by the good folks (sigh...) at ADOBE... Well, some time ago we had the opportunity of hearing saintly Steve about how Flash was crashing the Mac OS... Well, good folks at Adobe, Apple clearly didn't need your help as it is their OS which is the first one to be hacked. Steve's logic that if you don't have extraneous apps running on your system, your mac would never crash... Well, dang it, i'd say that about most OS's... it is only the lack of compatibility that made Vista a little more than unpopular amongst netizens. What does that spell for Mac, one can only wonder... As there are some bozo's which i encountered, who had no idea and once they bought a Mac, went back to working on windows based system.

Also, Steve and company makes a lot more money when giving less functionality to people... and people still suck on the cool-aid supplied... I wonder who's to blame, Steve, or the dumb sheep of a crowd which just meekly follows...

Again, not to initiate flame wars, i would like to state that yes, for all intents and purposes, Mac does have its own pluses... its uses... and i'm well aware... The droning on bit is for the dumb fanboys/ girls, who have little or no clue...

Adobe has been fighting back against the stinging rebuff it has been receiving from Apple's Steve Jobs as the fruit-themed company has banned flash from its latest range of toys claiming that the popular content viewer breaks his operating system and is buggy and inefficient.

Flash is indeed notorious for gorging on computer resources, but as Adrian Ludwig, Adobe product manager, pointed out to biconews, plenty of mobile device manufacturers use it without gigantic losses in battery life or usability.

If mobile phones can cope with Flash then the iPad should be able to do the same, but Ludwig said that it is more to do with Apple profits than Flash's bugginess. He said that if Apple were to let people go on Hulu every time they wanted to watch the latest episode of their favourite show, then no one would be willing to pay to download that show from iTunes.



Rather than paying for apps, punters could play a flash game for free, depriving Apple of the 30 percent share they take in every app sold. He noted that Flash is not the only software blocked by the iPad – games written in plain Java, Ruby, .Net, and Python code are also blocked on the devices.

Wow, that is some investigation you got going there Adobe.

OWNED, honestly all of my friends want a apple because their pcs "break on them so much". They never stop to realize their pcs break because they accept spam mail, d/l too much porn from places they just google'd, and just overall invite everything in. Anyways, I'm ranting. What he's talking about with Apple's greed is the reason I never got anything apple, I just plain don't want to have to go through itunes to do anything with it. I have a palm pre that actually lets me just treat it as a hard-drive which I absolutely love just being able to throw music on there or files like it were an external. To sum up I like freedom with my devices which apple completely murders.

I'll second that :)

I hate it that a lot of people are blinded by the idea that they think Macs are invulnerable to viruses and any bad stuff that could make your computer obsolete. They think that for the price you pay, you will be using it for many years to come. What most people don't understand is that the lifespan of the computer is based on the user and how they use the computer. In my school, we have a dell lab as well as an iMac lab, the dell lab always has the famous blue screen of death (BSOD) because people are using proxies that opens a crap load of popups. In the Mac lab, we have the same problem as some users experience the white screen of death (WSOD). I've talked to the IT person and she says the macs are a pain to deal with as whenever they need to be repaired, they have to call in a specialist to repair it, unlike the PCs where it's very user friendly when it comes to upgrades/repairs.

As you all might be able to tell, I'm a PC user and I won't touch an Apple product until they stop acting like all their products are the top-of-the-line and milk their customer's wallets for all their worth. I mean just look at the iPod touch, how much long until they finally add a camera, an upgrade that should have been added a long time ago.

Adobe can say all that they want - once HTML5 rolls out completely, neither of the two companies will have a say in it.

It is never Apple's fault... which is what bemuses me :D

I'm an avid Apple enthusiast, and even this was pushing it a little too much. I'm going to have to agree with theunsureguy, though, it's definitely going to be obsolete a few years down the road and we'll have moved on. Not a smart business plan for Apple, though.
