According to an anonymous source in attendance at Apple’s recent, internal iPad town hall meeting at the Cupertino campus, Steve Jobs answered some employee questions by saying “Adobe is lazy” and that Google’s “don’t be evil” motto was “BS”. Wired reports:
On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. build no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them, he says. Someone else asks something on a different topic, but there’s no getting Jobs off that rant. I want to go back to that other question first and say one more thing, he says. that don’t be evil mantra: “It’s bullshit.” Audience roars.
About Adobe: They are lazy, Jobs says. They have all that potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it. They don’t do anything with the approaches that Apple is taking, like Carbon. Apple does not support Flash considering it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s considering of Flash. No one will be using Flash, he says. The world is moving to HTML5.
Wired points out that, by getting around the App Store pocket veto and delivering Google Voice for iPhone via an HTML5 web app, Jobs should be careful what he
wishes for. Google maps input and YouTube were shown off during the iPad launch, as was PDF support, though no Flash (despite some ad-related confusion).More than a battle of words, however, that is a battle for control of the consumer World Wide Web experience — and the tremendous revenue that comes with it.
MacRumors brings a few more details on that:
- Apple’s next iPhone is an “A+” update, and Android won’t be able to keep up with Apple’s aggressive pace.
- iPad, iPhone, and Mac are the most crucial products Jobs has been a part of.
- Lala was a talent acquisition to bring their public into iTunes.
- 2010 Macs will take Apple to the “next level”
- Blu-Ray is still a bag of hurt, so Apple is still waiting on it.
An “A+” update for the 4th generation iPhone, eh? Bring it on!
