Re: Apple responds to Adobe "We <3 Apple" campaing

well after reading that it all makes sense, like Nokia, Adobe were siiting in that old mans chair feeling comfortable while apple was the mad scientist working like crazy in the labs. no wonder steve is dismissing adobe! i would too.

Re: Apple responds to Adobe "We <3 Apple" campaing

I'm socked.
Adobe is a fish out of the water... dying, convulsing...
Adobe killed by Steve's "open letter". Before iPad hitting the mass.
You can love him, you can hate him, but this guy is a genius.
I love only four Apple "computers", Apple I ( the myth), Apple II (the success), Apple Lisa ("we will change the world soon") and Apple McIntosh (original 128, 512 or plus, "we changed the world")
Only one failure, NEXT computer (not Apple, only Steve).
But remember: the WEB born over a NEXT CUBE COMPUTER (Tim Berners-Lee designed WWW, HTML, WWW browser with his Next cube, first history web server), then SUCCESS IN THE FAILURE!!!

I feel a mix between fear-admiration-expectation about Mr Jobs.
Sorry Adobe. You are check-mated.

EDIT: If Microsoft does not wake-up soon, will loss its' home-computers kingdom early, we are changing, I don't want "my computer on my phone", I start wanting "my phone on my computer", then mobile OS slowly will "invade" desktop-laptops: bigger screen, bigger keyboard, "connect" my phone to it and enjoy the few hours at home...

And a question: why is there so much Apple related posts here at maemo.org nowadays? Isn't macrumors, ars technica and other apple-fanboi heavens better place to dwell in your apple circle jerks? And if fanbois posting Apple-positive stories think that they are evangelizing for "the better cause", please, you're only embarrassing yourself. Apple used to be the cool underdog but it's time to wake up, it's not anymore.

1. Anyone in business is in it for the money (and power, i suppose); otherwise they would be in a charity. How they conduct their business is a different matter.

2. Because Apple commands a large mindshare and there is a rather large cross-section of (current/potential/ex) iPhone users with N900 users apparently.

3. This thread? It pertains to html5 vs flash, which matters to Maemo/MeeGo.

ps: Here's a mirror :D

Apple uses fanbois' passion that many times resembles religous fundamentalist commitment to their advantage by setting certain competitors as their enemies, and then the attacks against those enemies begin. We are at the moment witnessing the attack against Adobe Flash, and as anyone reading propaganda pieces like that TechCrunch-guy wrote or reading commentary from the fanbois can see that they are belittling Adobe as much as they can at the moment. Steve Jobs' way is to belittle the competition, and tell outright lies to his advantage. His fans imitate him.

Many times the fanbois have an agenda of bringing out Apple in a good light in competitors' forums, and whenever I see some fans posting Apple-love stuff here it makes me wonder what is the poster's agenda. I see the worst Apple fanbois as sort of the same way I see the Scientologists: pretty sad bunch acting on someone's else's behalf who they are happy to give their money to. And that's fine with me, they can do what ever they want, but people like that can expect reaction if they try spread their FUD.

I don't know of many public forums without a 'general' or 'off topic' sub-board where users can discuss current events and the likes. So this sort of discussion is just something that people do. Unfortunately for apple haters, Apple is a master in PR and marketing, so they somewhat dominate the news wire... at times they can even spin negative news in their favor, and it seems that this sort of stories are the ones that are more interesting to dissect and comment for many people.

Re: Apple responds to Adobe "We <3 Apple" campaing

I found it to be quite a bad responce to Apple as well. I figured that Adobe was trying to win a popularity contest by being friendly to an enemy. Sadly in the real world (especially the business world) nice doesn't cut it.

There's a reason why the Google mantra is 'Don't be evil' and not 'Be good.'

Errr, (not an apple fanboy) you can copy any song from your iPod onto a PC, all you have to do is have them on your iPod`s HDD.

Why thank you. All i need is a couch to bounce on and i'm set for the night :D

Actually, I should take this post more seriously.

What should I do, gush about the N900 on every other post?

I've had other linux based handhelds before getting the N900, so having xterm in my pocket is not a big deal for me anymore. To me, what's special in N900 is its task manager; and well, the browser is decent. Other than that, not so special (to me).

Everything else is pretty much par for the course for Nokia:
- Hardware is good, Nokia's standard. But it's not extraordinary.
- Performance is good, but all Cortex A8 based devices share this same trait.
- Other than the task manager (and browser?) the rest of the app is par for the course for a linux distro. PIM apps are below standard. Phone app is somewhat below the standard (no USSD, no MMS). Email is just sad.

So, I don't have that much great thing to talk about my N900.

Excuse me if I find other things more amusing at this point in time...
