ADOBE'S PISSED

While watching the whole ipad thing on my lunch (new saddo level reached, I was WATCHING a damn live blog) I nearly spit out my hummus and chips when ol' Steve Jobs fired up his new device. Not because it was mindblowingly awesomesauce. Because Jobs hit the interwebs, which hit a Flash site and BAM, front and center the "this jobby won't run Flash" icon was there. This had to be a goof. Why would you load a busted screen at an unveiling lots and lots of people would be checking out? Or was it a fuck you?


It seems that with the 3 years or so since the iphone and itouches launched, people have been missing out on a decent chunk of the internet. And don't sit there and tell me Apple could't fix this issue in that amount of time. Just don't. Other mobile devices can hack it, so can the fucking iphone. So, is Apple forcing the internet to evolve in some sorta creepy powerplay? To dump Flash and move forward with newer, less busted stop-gaps like plugins? I'm not sure I like how it's being done if so, but I'm OK with things changing.

Either way, Adobe is pissed.
