Adobe man to Apple: 'Go screw yourself'

Jobs Halo

He needs to get over himself.

Flash is a web browser plugin not a religion. Apple are quite within their rights to insist on coding standards on their own closed platform. Everyone else can cope with it, unfortunately Adobe don't seem to be able to I suspect for reasons as yet undisclosed.

That what started out as a web animation plugin has suddenly befitted religion status because it offers badly coded power sucking video delivery is beyond me. HTML5 video is the future.

What does the name SquareSheep have to do with cooking? Nothing, it's just a made up name to get an internet domain.

Why no 2006 Mac support

Windows 7 RC works mostly fine on my Core Duo MacBook Pro using the Vista drivers in the current Boot Camp release. Why terminate support now?

Memories...

A lot of that kit appears to be from the main site rather than the manufacturing bit that Sanmina bought. I'm pretty sure the site model was in the Canteen area, and a lot of the soft furnishings are from the Club House (onsite pub!).

Was a few years back, so I might be wrong.
