Look, people. This move was done because Apple totally has your best interests at heart and is absolutely not in any way any sort of anti-competitive thing, because Apple simply doesn't have any sort of Flash-competitor.

It was done because Apple loves you and wants to protect you, like a soft warm blanket over your head, pressing down tightly.

- chc 16y agoApple's Flash competitor which it is engaging in anticompetitive practices to force on people is standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript? That's not exactly anticompetitive, given that those are not proprietary Apple technologies. Also, Apple has several more of these "Flash competitor" frameworks. There's at least SproutCore and PastryKit, and I think a few in addition to those.
- brudgers 16y agoApple's Flash competitor is iOS, which normally requires fewer hardware resources, but doesn't run on anything other than Apple hardware. Among the advantages for Apple are better developer lock-in, better access to user data and stronger branding.
