A Peace Plan To End the Flash-On-iPhone Fight

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the why-can't-we-all-just-get-along dept.

GMGruman writes "As the pro- and anti-Flash camps have hardened their positions, the editors at InfoWorld have come up with a four-point peace plan that would allow Flash on the iPhone while addressing Apple's very real concerns over performance, stability, and security. Readers can vote and comment on the peace plan, which InfoWorld hopes will result in serious talks between Apple and Adobe."

    Ban both of them?

    (Apple fans will mod me troll - but fortunately, there are no Flash fans!)

    Here I was thinking they were talking about the lack of a camera flash on the iPhone... I guess Adobe Flash is important too. Whatever makes you happy!

    it's complete bollocks.

    Steve HATES Adobe.
    You're more likely to get Steve Jobs to prove at the next Apple Keynote that he really can shit rainbows. "One more thing....."

    In one thread, I have this going on:

    while (Flash.Sucks)
    {
         Developer.Bitch();
         Developer.Moan();
         Developer.Complain();
    }

    While in another thread, I have:

    while (Apple.IsBastards)
    {
         Developer.Bitch();
         Developer.Moan();
         Developer.Complain();
    }

    These threads are deadlocked in a race condition, and meanwhile, most Users have absolutely no idea what's going on.  Surprisingly few of them even seem to care.

      You didn't write it in Objective-C, so I couldn't compile it... ;-)

    It's about Profit going down the drain if Flash apps make it to the iPhone!

    No kidding! Apple makes a killing off the HTML5 platform they're advocating.

    This week's memo at Apple has it as follows....

    It's just a jump to the left
    And then a step to the right
    With your hands on your hips
    You bring your knees in tight
    But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
    Let's do the Time Warp again!

    THAT is apple's stance.

    Are you kidding? Not only has it taken off, it's actually completed its departure. :)
