Thread: Apple says Flash Sucks, Adobe takes their ball and plays with everyone else.

This issue is all about control. It's not that one technology is better than others...

Interesting article on the subject:

Watching two proprietary software companies deeply opposed to computer user freedom lob accusations back and forth about who is more opposed to freedom has been surreal, to say the least. But what's been crystal clear is that the freedom these companies are arguing about is their own, not that of their users. And what they are calling freedom isn't freedom at all—it is the ability to control those users. Adobe is mad at Apple for not letting Adobe control iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users via Flash, and Apple is mad at Adobe for suggesting that Apple is arbitrarily abusing its control over Application Store users.

Personally i'll be glad when flash is dead regardless of whatever Apple does or is doing.

Amen to that, brotha. I can't stand flash and websites created in flash.
