Adobe Not Worried About the Future of Flash
An anonymous reader writes "Adobe company man John Dowdell isn't worried about the future of Flash. He writes in his company blog, 'There's really no "HTML vs Flash" war. There are sure people inciting to create such a war, and individual developers may have strong practical reasons to choose one technology over another, but at corporate levels that drive strategy, all delivery channels are important Adobe territory, whether SWF or HTML or video or documents or paper or ebook or e-mag or film or packaging or whatever. Adobe profits by making it easier for creatives to reach their audiences. We're on the verge of a disruptive change that, I think, will dwarf that of the World Wide Web fifteen years ago. It was great back then when any wealthy person with a workstation in a wired environment could easily reach any creative's webpage. With these cheaper devices we'll be reaching far more people, and with pocket devices we'll be reaching them throughout the day instead of just when "logged-on." The WWW was merely a pale precursor of the excitement we're going to see, I think.' It's interesting to note that he talks about the World Wide Web in the past tense. I find it instructive as to Adobe's perspective. Personally, I'm not worried about the future of Flash either. I don't think it has one."
EVERYTHING IS BETTER IN OPENSOURCE! Like operating systems, office suites, games, video codecs, photo editing software, video editing software, music stores....oh what? Those categories are all dominated by proprietary solutions? Oh, well shit.
Don't take life so seriously. No one makes it out alive.
so, you took a very public beat-down and yet you carry on spouting like a bitch ass!
only on slashdot can you find the kind of phoney that lets us all know that classes, inheritance, abstraction, encapsulation, polymorphism, and decoupling aren't what oop is about.
talk about something you know a little bit about next time fella.
