Period. I don't care about what Mr. Jobs thinks, I couldn't care less about Adobe's response to him. The problems (in order of 'rolling eyesness' [to coin a phrase]): 1. Media Reporters usually have nothing useful to say. Those useless parrots are easy to debunk. CEO / Board taken care of. 2. Customer Apple Devotees These are a pain. The Apple is everything. They keep our company in business, we cater for them. End of story. 3. Developer Apple Droids These are the most intriguing creatures I have ever dealt with. What difference does it make if you create a Flash application (or any other application) using Linux, Mac or Windows. Developers should use the best tool for the Job. If it's not Mac OS X then ditch it. Apple will sell you for pennies on the dollar for profit, so why worship a company that doesn't care about you? This baffles me. You're not getting rewarded for your blind loyalty. [please excuse me for letting some steam off]. I own an iPhone 3G, if Apple doesn't support Flash by the time my contract ends, the device is broken ("doesn't work") as far as I'm concerned. I'm ditching and getting one that's not broken. The failed netbook/iPod/iPhone hybrid thing is not even worth discussing. Adobe, port CS7 or CS8 to Linux and rid me of having to worry about the Operating System or the CEOs of the companies developing it. Imagine that, CS8 running on my 64-bit LFS Workstation ... I'll sell my Mac Pro and never look back. Flash is not dieing, it's going to live on and I look forward to developing my media platform with it. Good software doesn't need Mr. Jobs's approval. If he doesn't like Flash, that's his opinion and he's entitled to it. I enjoy using Flash, and as long as it's under active development, I'm going to use it. -- end rant. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
