This is getting silly. If people are pissed about flash on the iPad + iPhone, then they won't buy these devices. But trying to employ the "taking away your freedom" argument is incorrect and seems like a last ditch flailing effort by Adobe.
It reminds me of the used car salesman in True Lies when he's posing as a spy and trying to get Jamie Lee Curtis to sleep with him. "If you won't do it for me, then how about doing it for your country".
- josefresco 16y agoThe same argument could have been made about people buying Windows in the 90's. If everyone was so pissed about what MS did to Netscape they could have simply chosen another OS, but they didn't. Consumers don't realize the issues at hand, they just want a cool device, just like they wanted an OS that worked and couldn't care less about who got screwed along the way.
