Adobe hearts Apple in tough love ad campaign
- "What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web" - Wow, Adobe's got quite the overgrown sense of entitlement there. - Translation: We wanna co-opt the web and someone's making browsers without our proprietary plugin, waaah! - Some cheese to go with that whine? 
- Many developers use automatic translation tools - some built by Adobe - to convert Flash code so their apps can run on Apple gadgets. - Is anyone actually doing this? My impression was that the only way to convert Flash to something iPhone-compatible was the compiler in CS5, and Apple killed that route before it was even shipped. 
- I find this ad funny in light of this page: http://www.adobe.com/choice/flash.html - The very top of the page is filled with statistics about how absolutely everyone is using Flash. It would seem to me that the best way to bring about freedom of choice is to do away with Flash. - I don't support Section 3.3.1, but I honestly don't feel that way out of sympathy for Adobe. 
- It reminds of the ridiculous AT&T wireless commercials claiming how great their network is when in reality it's really crappy. I'd rather see both Adobe and AT&T spend more money actually fixing their problems as opposed to using a bandaid with marketing. 
- I'm sorry, but he's just not that into you.
