    @instrmntl I thought we went through this before, Apple released their iPhone with no SDK whatsoever and told everyone to write web apps for it, the developers said fuck that noise and they quickly worked they way to release a proper SDK.

    While all that happened, Adobe was sitting on their asses not realizing the potential and future of smartphones and mobile devices. They never committed with Apple to even release a decent Flash Player for OS X as a sign of good will. Then, they started working on a new Flash Mobile player that was more hyped than Duke Nukem Forever and took them about 4 years to actually deliver one for Android. In the meantime Apple released 3 phones and 1 tablet and developers not seemed to have any problems in learning Objective-C and release stuff for it.

    I don't particularly care about these kind of benchmarks, but what's true is that Adobe didn't seem to care much about Apple business in general.

    • not so much they didn't care.. they got fucked in the ass by Jobs several times.. espeically by killing AE by releasing final Cut pro..Boz
    • cut pro.. but even after that.. they didn't want to give Adobe access to specific APIs in OSX that had direct access to hardwareBoz
    • hardware and told them.. just use APIs we allow everyone.. unfortunately those APIs couldn't provide performance needed for Flash player to run like it does on PC.Boz
    • needed for Flash player to run like it does on PC. I hate when people try to defend Apple as if they are saints and did nothing wrong and Adobe is lazy bunch of hacks..Boz
    • wrong and Adobe is lazy bunch of hacks.. What a bunch of bullshit.Boz
