I use Foxit Reader instead. Not bloatware like Adobe.

Friday's

NO!!! It's a plural not a possessive, it's "Fridays"

I have no use for anything Apple after I heard they are featuring an app that celebrates quotes from Che Guevara, yet are boycotting Glenn Beck for hate speech.

Bout time someone pipes up about Apple’s obvious bullying.

Adobe is the bad guy - Flash is the biggest memory hog in the known universe and it degrades the appearance and usability of almost every site where it is deployed. Apple is doing the right thing by taking a hard line, even if it is for self-interested reasons.

I use a free pdf writer and a free pdf reader.

Adobe had a nice run with their “proprietary” stranglehold on formats, but that’s not a guarantee.

It’s the same model that will fail Apple in the end - holding hardware hostage to proprietary/controlled software/content sales channel restraints.

1) Apple's iPhone OS-based devices don't support flash and 2) Apple is out to kill Flash.

1.2 billion Windows PC’s install base, over 300 million Windows PC’s sold every year and rising, the fast selling Android smart phones, RIM smart-phones etc all of which use Flash say “HELLO!”.
Apple's install base of mac's, iPods and iPhones is too tiny to affect Adobe in any way when there are over 1.2 billion Windows PC’s using Flash.
As for his rather colorful language about Apple, I second that. After Apple’s boycotting of Fox, I think they can go jump into a boiling volcano for all I care.
However, I think Adobe could face a serious threat from Microsoft's Silverlight.
With public setbacks behind it, Silverlight shines.

Some fun HTML5 stuff. Here's a Quake II Port. And remembering it can just be a mark up language.
