Adobe Fights Back
After Setve Jobs allegations about Google and Adobe it was now time for Adobe CTO Lynch to have his say on the matter.
According to Wired, at an Apple "town hall" meeting after the introduction of the Flashless iPad, Steve Jobs unloaded on Google, calling the search giant's "don't be evil" motto "bullshit," before rounding on Adobe. "They are lazy. They have all this potential to do interesting things, but they just refuse to do it," he said. "Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy... Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it's because of Flash. No one will be using Flash...The world is moving to HTML5."
Adobe CTO Lynch has a different opinion. With an official Adobe blog post, he felt the need to defend Adobe's plug-in, pointing out its near ubiquity on the desktop and reiterating that it should be on the iPhone and the IPad as well.
"We are ready to enable Flash in the browser on [the iPhone and iPad] if and when Apple chooses to allow that for its users, but to date we have not had the required cooperation from Apple to make this happen," he wrote.
This might just be the beginning of this technologycal Soap Opera.
