Bill Gates and Microsoft would be amused.

Software platforms are only as good as the developers who write for them.

This is an Apple suckup piece. The crash occurred on admittedly buggy, non-Apple beta software hooked to hulu which may have been at fault.

Yet “Steve Jobs may be right about Flash.”

LOL, fanboys never quit.

Back in the day when I was a young buck, if you crashed a demo - of pre-release code, mind you - you had to drop down and give 10 pushups.

The pansy-boys that now inhabit the software industry would probably sue for damages for demanding this in the US, or have their house-servant do it for them if they're based in India.

An Apple computer crash? Never. It just give you the spinning beachball of death.

I have never worked on a computer that crashes more than an Apple.

Demo of Mobile Flash on Android crashes... PING!

Apple/Mac Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Everybody knows Steve was right about that. Flash has a long history of being a crash happy resource hog. Of course that’s not really why he’s banning Flash, iPhone is closed to all 3rd party platforms including Java. But at least the criticism of Flash’s stability was accurate.

Surely the author remembers the infamous PC crashes of Balmer’s and Gate’s...

Well, back on the topic of Adobe and Flash... something is going very wrong over at Adobe, methinks. In my IT shop we’re hearing more and more complaints about pretty much everything adobe. From Flash to Acrobat. One of the harder parts of doing our XP to 7 upgrades has been getting all the Acrobat updates to work. Real pain in the butt.

Something isn’t right with Adobe. Quality control-wise.
