Maybe flash should be banned from all macs and see how they like it? Come on Apple, they are wanting to help you guys out and all your doing is being a complete **** about it all. Suck it all up Apple and help Adobe with flash. Your customers want it, you know they want it, shut the heck up and build with Adobe!

FOR REAL. FOR REALLY REAL. this is crazy. well, we all wondered how strict this whole SDK thing would REALLY pan out to be, and i think this REALLY sheds light on the situation.
dear apple,
isn't graphic design one of the industries that kept you afloat during rough times? what program did/do (nearly) ALL graphic designers use? oh yeah. photoshop. so you told adobe no? just because it didn't fall in line with your EVIL software catalog monopoly money making scheme? well thats pretty dumb. BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU MUCH?
apple. seriously. the GREED is so obvious. you are being SO greedy. this is all about MONEY, and its sickening. really.

disgusted consumer
I remember when the iphone was first announced publicly, and steve was asked why 3rd party software wouldn't be supported. His story was that viruses would be a problem. WHAT? viruses? really? but no one cares enough to attack mac desktops right? right. and no one cares enough to attack windows mobile devices right? right. but people WILL want to make viruses, spyware, etc for iphone right? right. what? no!!!
but steve knew. steve knew 10 years ago how the software model for ipods/iphones would be. and you know what? they're gonna make more money annually from iphone software and ringtone/mp3 downloads than they make from selling iphones.
and that brings us to the most important question of all: how are they getting away with being this nasty and without anyone seeming to notice or care? (outside of the iPhone jailbreak community that is)
and the answer is simply this: people aren't NOTICING. they don't know yet! its up to us boys and girls. i know i annoy my friends by talking about my iphone TOO much, but nonetheless i shall talk about it MORE!!!! and as long as apple continues the trend of acting more like microsoft every passing year, i will only continue to talk about it more and more and more, because they are NOT looking out for the consumer, and it becomes more obvious every day with stories like this. i am simply shocked over this whole thing.
if this is the way apple is going to treat adobe, how do you think they are going to treat YOU???
***points to every independent iphone dev reading this***
and YOU???
****points to every single apple customer across the globe paying their hard earned money for overpriced computer hardware knowing full well that they are actually paying for awesome SOFTWARE***
i am a LONG time apple fanboy, and i am fairly positive that my next computer will be a greybox hackintosh, and i will live happily ever after with my activated/unlocked/jailbroken iphone and my PC booting OS X. f*ck you steve. go hang out with bill.
