Steve Jobs says Google’s ‘Don’t be Evil’ Mantra is “Bullshit” and Adobe is Lazy

| Feb 01, 2010 | 6 comments

After a big public announcement of the sort Apple had this week for the iPad CEO Steve Jobs often takes time in the day or two afterwards to have a Town Hall at One Infinite Loop, making himself available for questions from employees bold enough to stand up and take one right between the eyes.

This time, the big topics included Google and Adobe — no surprises there. Google recently unveiled its own Android-powered handset, the Nexus One, whose release Jan. 5 prompted Jobs to perhaps over-react by announcing on the same day that the iTunes store had served up three billion apps and that “… we see no signs of the competition catching up any time soon.” Apple’s billionth iPhone app download was greeted with great fanfare, but the two billionth not so much, so it felt a tad like Jobs was feeling some heat.

    Yep. I saw this. Steve may not be the best rep for Apple anymore, his ideas are not cutting edge and closed source is a bad idea…only my opinion though

    It always baffles me when you think that Apple got started by being open-source… and they become successful as a result. But, here lately, they have become like the Grinch of Tech. Stingy with closed walls.

    Someone needs to give a Ebeneezer Jobs a hug so his heart will grow four times the size it is, so he will see the light that open is the way!

    If Flash is really that bad, you won't see it loaded on other smartphones. It's more than that – Apple needs to control the content. With Flash installed, the device can run free games, apps and movies – no one will be buying them from Apple.

    I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

    Jobs is channeling the dufus who gave him his liver ! He is semi-delusional when he thinks he can "control" everything around him – including content…..while he tries to make us think that Adobe Flash does not exist or is not prevalent in our daily life. It makes me want to vomit that he thinks we don't see his stupid comments make him look pathetic (( and I'm a big fan of Apple )).
