Reading the recent "Adobe Bad" threads is like watching HN lose brain cells.
Having owned only Mac/Linux hardware for the past 10 years I have my share of Adobe frustrations, but all this bandwagon jumping after Jobs made a few comments is ridiculous.
- mbreese 17y agoIt's standard backlash-backlash. First, it was against Apple - "Without Flash, the iPad will suck. Apple is evil for excluding it". Now, the pendulum has swung the other way - "Adobe is evil". Eventually we'll settle on the agreed upon: Adobe is only mildly evil. :)
- illumin8 17y agoAdobe has been evil for a long time. Remember Dmitry Skylarov? Jailed for writing software that Adobe didn't like - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Sklyarov?wasRedirected=true http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Sklyarov?wasRedirected...
- nir 17y agoMy point is that it was never (or rarely) mentioned as such in HN prior to Jobs' comments... Generally I don't think any company is more or less evil than any other. Most publicly traded companies pretty much do whatever they can get away with - and if they don't do so now, their next CEO will.
