"It looks like Apple just stepped up its attacks against Adobe and its Flash standard—used throughout the Web and apparently hated with much passion by Steve Jobs."

Pretty bizarre Wired cover in that article.

"Defacto standard" would have been better. That said, Flash is no less a "standard" than Apple HTML5 implementation.

Isn't Steve cutting off his nose.....etc etc....What is his problem with Flash? It is a pain not to have it on the mac. Would an online WIRED article answer my questions?

When did Adobe stop producing Flash for the Mac?

He just doesn't support it on the iP* devices. Some have said it has to do with user experience, but actions they put into place yesterday don't align with that.

First, Flash is not a standard. It's a proprietary plug-in.

Second, Apple isn't attacking Adobe. It's promoting an open web.

Kinda odd your mix of comments there. With Apple's implementation of HTML5, they're promoting a proprietary format.

M A V I C, are you saying that Apple's HTML 5 implementation is not adhering to the standards set forth in the HTML 5 drafts?
