Steve Jobs Thoughts on Flash!!! April 30th, 2010
Steve Jobs today posted an open letter explaining Apple’s position on Flash, going back to his company’s long history with Adobe and expounding upon six main points of why he thinks Flash is wrong for mobile devices…
In summary, Jobs pointed out that Flash is proprietary, insecure and unreliable, a drain on battery life and not optimized for touch screens… He said Adobe’s claims of providing the “full Web” with Flash are increasingly irrelevant as more sites come up with alternatives, and that banning iPhone app development in Flash will result in better apps because Apple retains control over new features and innovations…
Outlining these points Jobs closed by saying :
We know from painful experience that letting a third-party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in substandard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform.
Flash is a cross platform development tool. It is not Adobe’s goal to help developers write the best iPhone, iPod and iPad apps. It is their goal to help developers write cross platform apps. And Adobe has been painfully slow to adopt enhancements to Apple’s platforms. For example, although Mac OS X has been shipping for almost 10 years now, Adobe just adopted it fully (Cocoa) two weeks ago when they shipped CS5. Adobe was the last major third-party developer to fully adopt Mac OS X.
Looks like the war of words won’t stop just like that… It’s as if both sides are implying that “It’s our device and we can do with it what we please.” But the meaning of that statement is completely different depending on who says it…
Lets see what’s in store over the next week.. Cheers.

What is it about Apple??? April 12th, 2010
One questions has been bugging me for a long time… “What is it about Apple, that it generates such a massive following???”
I know numerous people who just have to buy the latest thing Apple has to offer… One of these Apple nerds bought the latest iTouch even though he had got the newest iPhone just a month back… Couple of them have to buy ever iPod that comes out, just to through the last one on eBay or Amazon… This sort of fanatical behaviour is an obsession with people…
Oscar Wilde once said “I have the simplest of tastes, I am always satisfied with the best”
But still why waste so much money on it??? Now we have people waiting in line all night buying multiple iPads… So why are people so mad about what Apple cooks ???

So iPad it is!!! January 28th, 2010
So Apple have made their announcement and they’ve gone with the name iPad… Quite a surprise considering my understanding was that the trademark of iPad belonged to another company in the US…
