    Adobe strikes back at Apple

    Seems like this is getting real interesting.

    "That's why we actively support technologies like HTML4, HTML5, CSS, and H.264, in addition to our own technologies."

    H.264 is a proprietary codec. We'll all end up paying licensing fees if we encode using it. I can't imagine anyone bragging about supporting it.
    I like pie.

      Apple has patents in H.264 and they get paid every time someone licenses it.

      That is a much better more informative read.

      As far as the lie that Flash is closed I especially like this part:
      The core engine of the Flash Player (AVM+) is open source and was donated to the Mozilla foundation where it is actively maintained. The file formats supported by the Flash Player, SWF and FLV/F4V, as well as the RTMP and AMF protocols are freely available and openly published. Anyone can use the specifications without requiring permission from Adobe. Third parties can and do build audio, video, and data services that compete with those from Adobe.

      If you can think it I can build it.

        Fucking hell, this is a pissing match Adobe will lose. No doubt. And Jobs' PR people are better at writing a letter than Adobe's lot are.
