Adobe has been fighting back against the stinging rebuff it has been receiving from Apple's Steve Jobs as the fruit-themed company has banned flash from its latest range of toys claiming that the popular content viewer breaks his operating system and is buggy and inefficient.
Flash is indeed notorious for gorging on computer resources, but as Adrian Ludwig, Adobe product manager, pointed out to biconews, plenty of mobile device manufacturers use it without gigantic losses in battery life or usability.

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
I'm going to take Adobe's side on this one. Apple is just being stubborn and/or lazy by not figuring out a way to make flash work. Especially with the iPad coming out, which is in some ways a substitute to a netbook. Without flash, you can't view 80% of things on the internet (an exaggeration, but you get the point.) I'm expecting thousands of stupid consumers to pick up an iPad only to angrily complain to Apple after realizing that half of the things they want to see won't display.
Jobs didn't say anything that's not true. Flash is slow and clunky and is a CPU power eater. Most of the times your web browser freezes or crashes is due to adobe flash. Anyone who knows how to run Activity Monitor or Windows Task Manager can plainly see that even the most trivial use of flash within in a webpage eats up extraordinary resources.
flash hasn't been a problem for me in a long time
Steve Jobs just doesn't want something on his products that he can't control and moderate
For all those iPhone fans waiting for a Flash update to the iPhone I think all of the bickering from Steve Jobs just sort of put those dreams to rest because he obviously isn't interested in Flash for his products and I'm more inclined to side with Adobe that while Apple is using the excuse of performance as their reason it has more to do with Apple losing money when people realize they are paying for stuff on iTunes that's essentially free elsewhere. Other high end smartphones utilize flash and you don't hear their users complaining so performance obviously isn't the problem.
Everyone already knows that Steve Jobs is essentially Nazi when it comes to control and money so his responses to the public are just that - they are PUBLIC responses so that you don't hate him for basically saying "if I can't profit from it I'm not going to support it".
I was about to upgrade to an iphone, but went for a N900 instead.
