At a Town Hall meeting for employees following the iPad announcement, Steve Jobs had some choice words for Adobe and Google.
Wired received the following information from a person who was at the meeting....
----- On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them, he says. Someone else asks something on a different topic, but there’s no getting Jobs off this rant. I want to go back to that other question first and say one more thing, he says. This don’t be evil mantra: “It’s bullshit.” Audience roars.
About Adobe: They are lazy, Jobs says. They have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it. They don’t do anything with the approaches that Apple is taking, like Carbon. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash, he says. The world is moving to HTML5. -----
About Flash, I honestly believe that Flash Is very Powerful and I wish my iPod Touch could handle Flash, and I'm happy that my Android Phone will get flash soon
About Google, I thing their doing a great job giving Apple much needed competition, because when Apple controls the market, they get very lazy (iPhone 3GS, and 3rd Generation iPod)
I like Apple, and they do great work, but I hate "The Job Dogma" (Keep selling the same thing until it doesn't sell)
I don't buy this...Jobs is not known to dis his competitors or potential partners.
After all, Jobs is in bed with the both of them. Why piss off your partners?
