AT THE WEB 2.0 EXPO in San Francisco, Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch took the opportunity to have another dig at Apple, carrying on the war of words between Adobe and Steve Jobs over Apple's approach to Flash.
In this video, Lynch explains that Apple's problem with Flash is that Adobe had made it work, not that it was "buggy" as Apple chief executive Steve Jobs has claimed.
Lynch also talks up an Adobe tablet prototype on display at the show, based on Nvidia's Tegra 2 and running Flash apps. µ

again... who cares about flash or any other runtime, just make it cheap and good ... for the common man...
The issue Charlie as there isn't a decent comparable product to Photoshop. Yes people will go on about GIMP and Corel's stuff, but the fact is they simply don't compare.
Yes CS3 was a nightmare but this was mostly due to speed issues, but CS4 has been a fantastic product line and never seen a single issue with it, and the performance improvements have been fantastic.
You do seem to be utterly misguided though on who's fault much of this is. "Apple's superior products" simply don't exist. Apple makes fashionable hardware from the cheapest suppliers they find. Usually the exact same ones you find turning out HP's, Dells, and Acers. Then there was the fun of Apple using the recalled and relabelled second hand returned GPU's from nVidia...those were superior weren't they?! There is nothing superior whatsoever.
And then there was the issue of Carbon for the move to 64bit. Adobe under Apple guidance went and redid their product line to support it, only to have Apple do an about face and change to Cocoa. Costing Adobe immense time and resources to redo everything again. And that's Adobe's fault? Come off it, Apple are the single most manipulative, controlling and quiet simply evil company on the planet today (heck they make MS look like saints when MS was in its evil prime).
Having spent thousands on Adobe CS products over the past few years and listened to my coworkers curse and watched them pull out their hair trying to deal with all its bugs and glitches, I have a really hard time seeing how Adobe has suddenly become our savior. I pleaded with my art department last time we upgraded to go with a non-Adobe alternative to CS4 after listening to them curse CS3 and its predecessors. Now unfortunately I get to listen to them curse CS4 and plead with them not to upgrade to CS5.
Adobe used to be a friend to the Apple computing community many years ago. But that changed in the 1990s. Now they've turned into a stifling force, trying to showcase Windows products while hiding the superiority of Apple's devices behind their lack of support for anything except the least capable machines on the market.
If one has an intimate understanding of what the Apple-Adobe fight is really about, then this all makes sense. It's only through ignorance of the issues that Apple can be seen as the villain here.
what a genius! now anyone on an iPhone can't view his rebuttle!!!
