Bullshit-free translation of Jobs’ flash thoughts

May 2, 2010

I’m sure you’re all aware of recent Apple’s anti-flash propaganda, crowned by Steve Jobs letter. Luckily, this letter quickly triggered lots of reactions from the oposing side, here’s the extract from one good post about it:

From Steve Jobs’ letter:

“Another Adobe claim is that Apple devices cannot play Flash games. This is true. Fortunately, there are over 50,000 games and entertainment titles on the App Store, and many of them are free. There are more games and entertainment titles available for iPhone, iPod and iPad than for any other platform in the world.”

The Bullshit Translator 2.0 ™ interpretation:

“So to reiterate: We don’t like Adobe because it’s closed, and we’re open. Apple devices can’t play any Flash-based games from the Web, because those are closed. But they can play any of the games in our highly policed App Store, for which we frequently deny applications that conflict with our business interests. Like I said, we’re open.

Don’t like it? Just try fucking with us. We’ll have the police raid your ass before you can get the words‘invalid warrant’ out of your proprietary mouth.”
