Apple F%&c& you!!!
That`s what you get if you give little unpriviliged kids too much power.
Just imagine if a company like Microsoft would act like this megalomoniac a$$ho%6es.
I was really waiting for the new MacBook Pro with my credit card ready but now I`m honestly thinking about switching back to M$$ after 3 years.
It`s like finding out your new hot girlfriend listens to Nickelback – what a dissapointment but at the same time maybe a refreshing eye opener.
Glad I can now save like 1500 bucks on my new PC and don`t have to spend them just to be cool – because Apple isn`t cool anymore.

Haha! Don’t get your hopes up that easily. The rumors are now next week (as they already were before the event)…. so you better wait some more time, earn some interest on your money in the process.
Switching back to M$ won’t help, they don’t built laptops and the OS is not one you want to work with…
[...] Apple F%&c& you!!! on Latest Adobe NewsTopics: MacBook, MacBook Pro [...]
Hah, if it makes you feel any better, Windows 7 is actually quite nice, and you can get a monster workstation for 1500 bucks.
Come back to the dark side
“one of us, one of us”
I feel the same way. I am in the market for a new laptop and this move just makes me mad. Apple is isolating its users again. We are moving backwards to the days when we are not compatible with anyone.
I use my macbook pro to run windows virtual machines, which can easily be done on a pc laptop. The problem is finding a high quality pc laptop.
FWIW: I have never had problems with Windows and Windows 7 is the best yet.
It’s time we designers and developers make a stand against Apple. They keep punching us in the nose again and again. They seem not to like us very much. So if the love doesn’t come from both sides we then better stop the relationship.
So until we need to replace our current Mac’s (by Windows/Linux PCs) let’s at least draw evil faces on the Mac logo so we no longer (positively) promote the use of Mac’s
Give Linux a chance
That’s it. No more Mac for me. Lenovo and Dell produce really good laptops with hi-res displays for less. Windows 7 is stable. OSX = bullshit. Steve Jobs = asshole
You are very pessimistic. There are some my thoughts:
1. Adobe do not offer Flex for iPhone. Only Flash for iPhone. It is very disappointing for me. I do not like Flash, I like Flex.
2. For Adobe cannot be real hard generate ObjectiveC sources for your ActionScript projects. It will be then all right with Apple conditions.
lolers. welcome back.
Dood I switched back and windows 7 is awesome.
Windows 7 FTW!
flash developers are the biggest frickin cry babies I have ever seen!
Maybe apple should make their own flash gui(that doesn’t crash every 5 seconds) and see adobe going into the same mode.. business is business grow up already.
Blocking out Adobe
Apple’s concern about losing control over its platform reared its head in another, related area on Thursday: its revision of the iPhone Software Developer Kit guidelines to ban all applications developed using systems not approved by Apple.
This move has generally been reported as a poke in the eye of Adobe, which has announced that one feature of its CS5 suite of products will include the ability for Flash developers to compile iPhone versions of their Flash apps.
And yeah, it is that. Apple’s distaste for Flash is real, and as Jobs reiterated Thursday via a one-word answer to a question on the topic, Apple has “no” plans to let it on the iPhone.
Apple doesn’t want Flash-created apps on the App Store for a simple reason: It reduces the iPhone to a lowest-common denominator platform, and at that point Apple loses all control over the iPhone OS experience.
Once developers can create an app in one development environment—Adobe’s—and compile it to run on every smartphone known to humankind, many developers will decide to save themselves a boatload of money and stop developing native apps for the iPhone, Android, and other platforms. They’ll just develop once, for Flash, and let it run anywhere.
Sounds good, but the develop-once-run-anywhere philosophy is something that makes more sense to bean counters and development-environment vendors than it does to platform owners and discriminating users. In the ’90s we were told that Java apps would be the future of software, because you could write them once and deploy them anywhere. As someone who used to use a Java-based Mac app on an almost daily basis, let me tell you: it was a disaster. Java apps didn’t behave like Mac apps. They were ugly and awful and weird, but hey, at least they ran on the Mac.
It’s the same way I feel about Adobe’s AIR environment today. It’s a Flash and/or HTML-based system that lets developers write cross-platform desktop apps. A good example of an Adobe AIR app is TweetDeck. A lot of people like TweetDeck for Mac, and bless ’em. I can only assume they like it because they like its feature set. It’s a horrible Mac app, though. It’s got no menu bar to speak of, a strange and limited preferences window, weird scroll bars… the list goes on. It feels, in short, like a Web app that’s been mashed into a window so that it can pretend to be a native Mac app. And—spoiler alert—that’s because it is.
Apple doesn’t want apps that don’t feel like native iPhone apps on the iPhone. It doesn’t want Adobe to aid developers in creating a world where App X for iPhone and App X for Android are indistinguishable from one another. Apple doesn’t want to introduce new iPhone features and then watch as nobody takes advantage of them because Adobe hasn’t updated its development system yet. Or, worse, watches as Adobe refuses to adopt them because the other operating systems don’t support those features.
If iPhone apps are one of Apple’s greatest assets, a lowest-common-demoninator app world is Apple’s greatest nightmare. Apple wants the iPhone app experience to be created using Apple’s native tools by developers who are engaged with the platform and falling over themselves to support Apple’s latest features. These are the developers who were downloading and installing iPhone OS 4.0 on Thursday and poring over the documentation, getting ready to dig in and start updating their apps for this summer’s release.
I understand the fury at Adobe over Apple’s moves against Flash development on the iPhone. (And I’m sad that this particularly targeted spat may have incalculable fall-out on the rest of the Adobe-Apple relationship, which will potentially impact both companies’ customers down the road.)
It’s got a bit of the feeling of Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown, but with one key difference: in this scenario, Lucy never asked Charlie Brown to kick that football. Charlie Brown saw a bunch of other kids kicking the football and thought he could run up and kick it too.
Is it mean for Lucy to yank the football away from ol’ Chuck at the last minute? Yeah, absolutely. But it’s Lucy’s football.
Apple would be nothing without Adobe. If it weren’t for Adobe’s programs, no-one would use a Mac. Steve jobs really is a stain.
Flash on iPhone won’t dilute the experience – there is no ‘experience’ – all the stuff Jobs recites sounds to all the apple fanboys like apple are honestly making breakthroughs in user interface, technology, and speed.
Yet its all stuff that has been around for years on Windows, iPaqs and most other devices. Wow – video… thats never been done before on any phone… Multitouch? Jesus… No-one thought of that before. The only thing they are good at, that they haven’t stolen from someone else, is marketing. He basically wrote the rule book on convincing idiots to buy shite.
The iPhone can run flash, despite Jobs lying through his teeth to the contrary. In fact most of the content in his “thoughts on flash” letter is complete bullshit! Its about time Jobs stopped getting away with being an absolute arsehole and bullying other companies. To do it to Adobe of all is low.
I have a HTC Desire – and it whoops arse! ANDROID. Plus, I can make apps for it without the express requirement that Jobs can come over whenever he likes and I have to kneel down whilst he wipes his cock in my face. They shouldn’t be concentrating on controlling developers, trying to control every aspect of the world with legislation and lawsuits. How about some real innovation? Not theft and marketing. They’ll pick on Google next; they already have done with HTC. All the hallmarks of a company scared of competing with honest innovation.
Apple fanboys… tut.
[...] Apple F%&c& you!!! [...]
For me, the best operating system is Linux because it rarely hangs.:.*
YEah, give linux a chance you might like it, I love it, and you can dual boot
apple “steals” ideas from microsoft, microsoft “steals” stuff from apple, linux “steals” stuff from both of them (notice how that ubuntu menu looks and acts like a windows ’start’ menu).
so what, who cares?
as a user, i just want a great, crash-free, intuitive user-experience. on that one, i think apple wins hands-down. i think the ipod/iphone usability features blow windows mobile away. and i’m a windows programmer.
if apple chooses to guard their os’s from being bastardized by generic virtual execution environments like flash or java in order to protect my user-experience, more power to me. it’s called free enterprise, boys and girls.
why does apple owe something to flash programmers? if you developers don’t like it, feel free to whine.
“Apple versus Microsoft: The top 20 stolen ideas of the OS wars”
http://www.infoworld.com/d/windows/apple-versus-microsoft-top-20-stolen-ideas-os-wars-046
Funny how we become slaves to the egos of corporate giants and organizations willing to take them on…
Apple = paranoid, self-serving, closed model mentality, rich experience at rich cost… Wants users only — developers go home… They have it covered…
Microsoft = envious of Apple sexiness, open enough to be powerful, customizable, developer rich, and business friendly… Tons of software choices and devices… Hardware that runs the gambit of lost cost to powerful/sophisticated…
Linux = anti-establishment, sees Microsoft as its enemy, thinks Apple is great since they adopted BSD as its base OS, lots of highly intelligent developers willing to work for sense of accomplishment, great appliances using solid OS, always seeking respect…
[sorry if this is off topic...] You know, I really was about to take the Apple plunge having adopted iPhone a year ago. Many of my peers use Mac with Fusion to run our required Windows applications and such. Even an iPad for those unique between-iPhone-and-laptop periods. But, I see the same theme over and over: mothership Apple dictates what you can and can’t do. What is open (little) and what is supported (closed/expensive). I got most peeved when I couldn’t sync an Apple BlueTooth keyboard to my iPhone. Someone cited that Apple was too proud of their touch keyboard thus dis-allowing auxiliary keyboards. Saying if they allowed it then the community would believe the on-board KB to be inferior — what an ego! Wow!
I love Linux/BSD. Windows has always been pretty good for me and my main OS for general use. My Apple OSX box is only good if you are willing to work within the confines of what Apple deems okay. I have just as much trouble with OSX as I have with Windows — you figure it out. The ole “Windows runs better under Mac” is simply Fusion virtualizing the HW drivers. I do the same with VMware and other virtual tools. No magic here for Mac. My virtual Windows boxes run with less spot issues too…
It is funny how the “hip” folks chose Apple when it was really their marketing that swayed them. Remember the big brother 1984 ad? [you have to be old...] Gee, Microsoft is really big brother? These Apple adopters would be the same folks who claim advertising is bad and manipulative. Ha! They got suckered! Ooh, Microsoft is bad… Bill Gates is the anti-Christ… Ooh…
Yes, Microsoft is big brother and the nice corporate Apple folks will just tell us all what to do for the remainder of our digital lives. If apple doesn’t approve then we all just don’t need that computing function… Wow, maybe our government could get involved and tell us how to run the rest of our lives — oh yeah, they do…
Linux folks, you have my admiration. I love to use the OS and contribute when possible. Probably won’t be mainstream anytime soon but wouldn’t mind if it was. I don’t think Microsoft is your enemy but they do represent the largest user base so easy to make them a target. Keep pinging away at the battleship but do eye the destroyer creeping alongside named Apple… They are not a “friendly”…
