Friday's normally are pretty quite in the tech industry. However, for some reason, today has been particularly interesting -- especially on the Adobe front.
Earlier today, we posted a story which pointed out Adobe's fear of HTML5 gaining traction. In fact, one of the only reasons why HTML5 has even beginning a lot of attention these days is for two reasons; 1) Apple's iPhone OS-based devices don't support flash and 2) Apple is out to kill Flash.

Brimelow continues throughout the blog railing against Apple and its behavior with regards to Apple. However, he saves his most colorful language for Apple at the end of his piece.
"Now let me put aside my role as an official representative of Adobe for a moment as I would look to make it clear what is going through my mind at the moment. Go screw yourself Apple."

“I use Word 2007 to create PDF’s.”
I did too ... until Word 2007 turned a 6MB .doc into a 15MB .pdf this week (and PDF995 crunched it down to 1.5MB).
yup, loved their Dashboard addon tooo...
apple made them go away?
what next apple invented the internet?
storage is ever changing.
just like a a VERY short time we will have solid state hard drives and those 32gb max hd cards are being replaced by 320 gb chips.
don’t go algore.
Apple was the first to eliminate the drives and the naysayers said it was crazy, but Apple insisted that with the internet their was no longer any reason to have floppy drives of any sort. Just the facts. Review a bit of history and you might educate yourself.
I HATE itunes and the fact that you MUST use it to sync your mp3’s.
More reason why Flash will continue to do fine, despite Apple's iPhone boycott.
The macs don't matter much anyway. What really matters is the massive 1.2 billion Windows PC install base that uses Flash
” Android phones do not yet support Flash”
They are working hard on it with Google right now even as we speak. Apple on the other hand, is flat out refusing Flash on iPhones.
You thought this way before that happened,
I was never fond of any Apple products before this Apple boycotting Fox nonsense, sure, but then I never suggested they go jump into a boiling volcano before. I am now.
“technically they aren't boycotting Fox in any case.’
Yes they are.
From David Horowitz:
Apple promotes Marxist murderer’s rants while boycotting Fox News

Apple is juuust fine with the racist, America-hating murderer Che Guevara. It's Fox news they are worried about.
What are you anyways? BJ “It's technically not sex” Clinton?
I thought the CD burner and thumb drive made the floppy and zip drive disapear.
It was probably the increasing size of the applications that made floppy drives go away. I can remember installing a version of Borland C that must have come on 20 floppies.

The iPhone has a "whopping" 0.51% of web traffic use. Apple will make Flash "go away"? Yeah like Haiti will make the Chinese economy "go away".
" in the same way it made floppy disks, 3.5” diskettes, and Zip drives go away."
Apple made floppies and zip drives go away like Apple made serial ports and parallel ports go away. In the real world, newer tecnologies simply made older technologies obsolete.
You realize there is a difference between Fox and Fox News right?
“That’s why Apple boycotts Fox News and promotes Guevara propaganda”
From your post, “Apple boycotting Fox nonsense”. They are not boycotting Fox, they do not have advertising on one member of the Fox family. Something that is entirely up to them. I highly doubt anyone would care if they chose not to advertise on the Fox broadcast channel, which many here have their problems with. Or FX.
I don't care about 20th Century Fox Hollywood, which is liberal anyway. What I care about is Apple turning themselves into 0bamabot foot soldiers, by boycotting Fox News, the only conservative leaning TV network in the entire country, in a pathetic attempt to intimidate them from actively criticizing 0bama's Marxist agenda. It's not gonna work.
I’m using cutepdf writer. It works perfectly for me - never had a problem with the free version.
html5 will make Flash go away.
Google is on board and is converting Youtube from Flash to html5.
Adobe needs to start innovating instead of fighting evolutionary shift.
I’ve heard of that. Looks like it’s time to check it out huh?
Dream on.
“Google is on board and is converting Youtube from Flash to html5.’
Google is irrelevant in desktop software. On the desktop. Windows rules. Flash is installed on 98% of all desktop computers. If anything, the main competition for Flash could come from Microsoft's Silverlight, which is rocking right now and taking names.
Meanwhile, Google is working with Adobe right now to bring Flash to Android smart phones, where Google's market share has been shooting up.
“Adobe needs to start innovating instead of fighting evolutionary shift”
Adobe has been bringing great innovation to Flash for years.
I use Foxit Reader instead. Not bloatware like Adobe. .......
Been using it for years since a freeper clued me me in!
