Lion disables Flash Player hardware acceleration (and other Adobe goodies)
Christian Zibreg- more like adobe didn't prepare their software correctly.animatedgif
- lol.. Adobe didn't prepare their software.. you truly are an idiotBoz
- Well, did they? Lots of people paid for and still use Adobe Freehand—no workyraf
- Adobe Freehand? Wow.fyoucher1

Adobe had access like any other developer subscribed to the Mac Developer Program to all the Lion developer previews and golden master.
Why they weren't ready / had an update ready to roll now it's something only they know.
- because Lion changed the way APIs work in Lion and again limited certain aspects to deliberately hurt Adobe more.Boz
- I mean Apple. This is what the scumbags do. They saw Flash Player was getting awesome on Macs and they can't have that.Boz
- It goes against their shitting and justifications on why to avoid Flash.Boz

LOL at anyone thinking that this scumbag move by Apple is not part of their strategy to hurt Adobe and have more arguments with the iZombie crowd on why Flash doesn't work good on OSX.
Interestingly just when Flash Player went all GPU and was completely platform agnostic as far as performance goes because it relies on graphics hardware instead of CPU.
I wish Adobe pulls all software from OSX.. Seriously.. so people can design with Word on it.
- I am sure Apple has a Photoshop equivalent ready in their basement, just like they had Intel OSX.raf
- a premiere/final cut comparison would be a closer equivalent, not exact but close then the last comment
mightyj - Yeah.. right.. they can't make Final Cut Pro X to have proper features, they'll make a Photoshop alternative and it doesn't matter.. whatever it is it's not standard.Boz

Apple declares war on Adobe in OSX Lion
http://venturebeat.com/2011/07/2…Apple.. the biggest douchebag company in the world. I'm 100% with Adobe.. don't update ANYTHING.. let's see how many people upgrades to Lion considering their products don't work on it.
- That article is nonsense. Sensationalist *cough "blog journalists"mg33

Apparently no one here realizes that most of these UI/UX features are for idiot users, not pros.

Wow, can't believe Apple disabled hardware acceleration. They complain how Flash runs slow on Mac but when Flash has the opportunity to actually be better by utilizing something in the system, they turn it off. Now, if that ain't a straight move that purposely shows that they're killing off Flash for another reason, then I don't know what is.
I've never had a problem with Flash running slow but I'm also not running porn sites with a bunch of Flash ads playing in the background. Well, not for more than a minute.

I do like that Safari seems to be at least 100% faster. Safari has been my default browser since day one. There are subtle features that other browsers don't have, which has kept me from using Chrome, specifically, as my primary. Now with the speed increase and developer tools in 10.6, I don't see myself abandoning Safari unless something changes.
To support my previous comment above, what I mean is that they are trying to bring familiarity of the OS to users who haven't owned a Mac before, but got into the Apple ecosystem through an iPod Touch or an iPhone. I think it's a logical move, personally. As far as the Flash acceleration and other issues similar, most people simply don't care or notice the nuance.

I can't wait until Apple just buys Adobe and finally shuts Boz and his stupid conspiracy theories up.

I would rather adobe stay independent. the industry needs the professional stability adobe offers. if not it could be all low and highend products with no middle class pro option.

Designing software to look like the physical-world equivalent is simply bad design. There is no argument for it.
