I think both authors are right. It's not a right or wrong between these 2 companies. They are big companies doing what's in the best interest of each. At the same time, no matter how the saying goes, business is intensely personal. Steve Jobs didn't call Google's, "don't be evil" mantra bullshit for no reason. The man has done and seen a lot of things over the years, you build up a think armor during that time. At one point Adobe and Apple were closely aligned. Adobe saw the writing on the wall and bailed on Apple. Jobs came on board introduced OSX and things were whisper quiet. I was there using 10.0, 10.1, and 10.2, it didn't get "good enough" until 10.2. Adobe didn't move most of their products to OS X until CS2, dropped SKUs for some items, and froze development on others <cough>Flash</cough>. If Jobs learned anything it was never let another company direct your product development. Because Macs were used in creative design markets most users didn't see a need to upgrade from OS9. Photoshop wasn't on OSX, not was Flash, Illustrator etc. I don't agree with jobs, but he is correct up to a point. He won't let Flash hinder the development of iPhoneOS. Developers are caught in the middle though. He could have singled out Adobe and let developers continue to use Mono, Unity, Titanium. But contracts are quite blunt instruments, define it to narrow and companies can walk around it; too loose and you get the current situation. Anyway it's like investing in the US. Everyone will bitch about the terms but they'll continue shoveling money (or development time in this case) until there is no money to be made.
