"...Personally I will not be giving Apple another cent of my money until there is a leadership change over there." Uhhh What? The Apple Board? Fire Steve Jobs? Yeah, good luck with that buddy.

Yeah, the Apple board would never push out Steve Jobs. Well, not again.

Exactly, they won't make the same mistake twice.

History is foremost in everyone's mind right now.

I think some people are alluding to the fact that he was knocking on death's door as little as a year ago. Probably most people don't wish him dead, but some certainly wish for the _effects_ of him dead, some of which might be the loosening of tyrannical grip on developers and a decrease in the number of purely emotional decisions (this, banning Google Voice, etc.).

No disrespect intended here. But I have to say this.

I just think this is starting to get a little morbid.

It's better to win in the field of ideas. If you have a better way, go compete. Create a phone or a tablet or a web site or whatever, and build a business.

Wishing someone dead so you can leach off of the one they built is a little 'punk-like'.

Now again, no disrespect.

I'm just sayin'.

I continue to be impressed with the license Adobe gives their official representative. This is not the first unprofessional reaction I've seen on this blog. Yes, it is understandable. Is it wise? Maybe a better worded response could inflame the minds of the abused more effectively and not sound like a temper tantrum.

theflashblog.com is not an official Adobe blog.

Let me clarify -- theflashblog.com is not produced by Adobe, the company. It is written by an official representative of Adobe, but it is not the official response of Adobe the company, and the site is not an official Adobe site.

Someone should edit the title for this post -- theflashblog.com is not an offical Adobe blog, and the post is simply the reaction of one Adobe employee. This is not the 'official Adobe response'.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Unfortunately they haven't learned the other part of their history that got them almost bankrupted.
