Adobe Blinks First in Flash Battle with Apple

Flash is a mess, it's day of reckoning is coming.

I truly hope Apple wins out on this and one day we see it die, to be replaced by truly open, html 5. Free, open and efficient for everyone, mobile or not.

RIM will go with Flash only to make a differentiator from the iPhone, which might fool about a dozen people or so...

Apple's History Puts Its Present into Question

I thought this might be an interesting article when I saw the title.

Just wasted a minute of my life, and the extra 10 seconds to say so.

Picking Some Stocks to Survive This Market

Not sure I would have MSFT on that list.

It will be 7 years before a viable - i.e. non-Vista - OS is available since the last one i.e. XP.

And even then Windows 7 may be little more than a warmed over Vista.

- No traction with Search.
- No traction with Zune.
- Declining or reversing traction with Xbox.
- Luke warm response to Office 08. Severely declining prospects for Windows Mobile.
- HP, Dell etc. looking for Windows alternatives.
- Massive spending on Brand advertising is backfiring badly.
- Apple's PC & Mac advertising is severely mauling its core product.

It will face strong headwinds with a scary, rocky coast waiting to receive it to leeward, it is lucky it has some sea-room.

Adobe's CS4 Should Give Apple Sales a Boost

Fanboy is the derogatory expression of choice by arrogant, pompous and conceited Apple-haters to describe Mac users.

It doesn't ever make the person using it look good. But good luck to them - they need it more.

Apple's Leap from Mediocre to Marvelous

Weak article. Poor understanding, poor research and generally not contributing anything to our wider knowledge and understanding.

Moved on.

Handset OS Fragmentation is Here to Stay

Blinkered, blind, or just stupid...?

"I can't see Apple making a huge mark outside North America."

Mmmm... let's see how different iPhone usage is shall we?

Can Apple's Resistance to Flash Content Last?

The answer to his question is a resounding YES.

Good post Wall Street...

Cash-Rich Companies: Watch Out for the Siren’s Song

Applying this metric across the board is a little weird. You need much better knowledge of these businesses to make this kind of judgement.

Beware the statisticians...

Microsoft's Silverlight and Adobe's Apollo: Web-Killer 2.0

A pity there isn't ever an informed debate on this stuff. Why can't these companies be web-compliant??
