QUOTE: Apple to Adobe: "Someone Has It Backwords"

“Someone has it backwards — it is HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and H.264 (all supported by the iPhone and iPad) that are open and standard, while Adobe’s Flash is closed and proprietary,” said spokeswoman Trudy Miller in a statement."



Ouch.

Certain irony to all of you iPhone haters- the iPhone is making a giant leap forward for open development- solely because Apple is putting their foot down with Adobe's Flash crap. It's Apple making this push- Google can't decide whether or not it likes Flash.

(Also, although Flash for desktop is mature, Flash for mobile most certainly is not. HTML 5 is far ahead of Flash in the mobile world.)

However it's still an open standard. Think Mp3.

Apple needs to take the word "proprietary" out of their vocabulary. That's what all Apple products are, so how are they to criticize someone else who is established in the market on their product "Flash" because they are one of the few who won't kiss Apple's behind.

Apple files a patent on just about everything they even concept, you're upset with Adobe for giving up on you.

All technologies Apple has utilized, evangelized, contributed towards, and/or created. None of which are proprietary.

You're just upset because whatever glitchy brick you're stuck using is crap by comparison.

That and you don't know the difference between vertically integrated and proprietary. But people who just blindly accuse Apple of being proprietary usually have double digit IQ scores.

I'm actually quite happy with my Droid, I just think Apple is being a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to technology. Technology is ok as long as their name is on it, the minute someone else tries to do something. It's not ok.

Calm down, it's really not that serious. There are many more important things to be upset about than someone not agreeing that Apple is the best.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As you're entitled to yours.
