We are removing Flash support from Apple products – Steve Jobs

Today, Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs has taken time to write a post about why Apple doesn’t like Adobe Flash. And why Apple doesn’t support it in new products. And more importantly, why Apple won’t support it in new products.

Right after this post, Fake Steve posted following comments on this topic in his blog

1. We’re all about being open. The Mac with OS X is the most open environment ever. Except when it’s running Flash. Thus, goodbye Flash.

2. Hardly any videos use Flash anymore. The ones that do aren’t watching. Take my word on this.

3. Flash is the number one reason Macs crash. Well, not anymore.

4. Battery life. I can’t tell you how many emails I get from people begging me to disable Flash so that their MacBook Pro will run longer. I mean literally I can’t tell you. But it’s a lot. Well, friends, your wish has been granted.

5. Mice. Flash was designed for them. MacBook Pro does not have one.

6. Cross platform. Simply put, our customers do not want a world in which it is easy for developers to write apps that run on many platforms. They want this work to be hard for developers. I don’t know why. You’ll have to ask the customers. We’re just listening to them, and doing what they want.

Conclusions: No more Flash on the Mac. Now let’s celebrate.

Also: As of some day really soon, Gawker Media Web sites will not be supported in Safari, both on iPhone OS and OS X. Purely for technology reasons. Same for advertisements sold by Google. They were fine in the PC era. But now they just look ugly. Our users don’t want them on their Macs.

Also: Under iPhone OS 4.0, certain phone numbers will not work on iPhone, both for incoming and outgoing calls. We won’t tell you which numbers these are, but trust us, they’re not numbers you should be calling, and definitely not numbers you want calling you. If you call us to find out whether a certain number is on our blocked list, we will tell you the following: “That information is not available.”

Apple’s Internal Policies On Social Networking, Blogging, HR Web And More

Apple was right to dismiss Samuel (20), an employee who criticized his iPhone and job in a series of his Facebook posts. One of his Facebook friends, who was also his colleague told his boss about these posts. The employee posted against one of the apps - ‘F***ed up my time zone for the third time in a week and woke me up at 3am? JOY!!’ The same worker also made one more fun comment at the company’s tagline on Beatles songs on iTunes - ‘Tomorrow’s just another day that hopefully I will forget.’ against the original tagline to ‘Tomorrow is another day. That you’ll never forget.’ Indeed, Apple was right to dismiss Samuel. Apple is very clear on posting any such things insulting Apple in negative is against policy. Apple says, “ be thoughtful about how you present yourself in online social networks. The lines between public and private, and personal and professional are blurred in online social networks.” Read on full run down of Apple’s internal policies on social
