WTF. Did Steve forget to teach Cook how to hire people? He apparently is not very good at it...
Gruber is an idiot turkey stuffed with greasy agenda....he blogs because he can't produce ANYTHING.
Lynch is crazy smart. And btw folks...if you see something utterly sweet and innovative on the web...and (context) right click on it...70% of the time...you'll see it was produced in Flash.
All the big sites are still using it: News, Sports, Auto sites, YouTube, etc. etc.
As someone who has produced both HTML 5 and Flash I can say with some expertise: HTML5 is 10 years behind.
Hopefully we will be seeing Apple's take on Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. We just need someone to do it in the hope that Adobe prices come down to something more reasonable. They have no serious opposition at the moment, and as we all know, competition improves the breed and brings down prices.

A hire at this level had to be approved by iCook.
CS6 works incredibly well on Windows. Cross platform audio software works better on Windows too. Maybe it's not Adobe per se...
Nope. I had 3 Android phones in the last 14 months (Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note2) and they all had Flash player. In fact, the last version of Flash Player for Android was released a month ago (link) And if you want to install the player on the latest Android phones (Jelly Bean) read instructions here.
Didn't Steve hire Mark Papermaster?
----------
Everyone knows that Xcode is probably the most unApple like product that they make, hopefully with this new hire they can make Xcode into a Flash CS6 killer.
No, he didn't. But it was Steve who fired him.
I am not sure how the pricing could go lower. It only cost me $65 for Creative Suite 6, direct from Adobe. Of course it was on sale and it was for the education version ;-)
Lucky you. Adobe prices outside USA get even more stupid. For example here in the UK, the CS6 Master Collection is £2,677.60, which is about US$4,057.
He doesn't need to. It's already a pro tool. That comment is so last year.

When was this? Recently? it may not be fit for your particular setup, but it's a perfectly valid NLE at this point. Quite awesome actually.
I find it hard to believe Steve didn't hire him considering he reported directly to him
Well, he was hired during Jobs' medical absence (when Cook was managing Apple).
Upon his return in middle of antennagate, Jobs let Papermaster go.
Steverino was a Director nerd? Who knew?

I've 16GB in my Mac mini, and scrolling a two-layer, 3MB CAD drawing with Illustrator CS6 means seeing the comet's tie (Illustrator keeps retracing lines that were in the previous view, but are not in the new one). InDesign can only be used in Standard quality preview mode, or pages will stick on the screen. I cannot but call this 'sluggish'.Sluggish?? I use Adobe apps all day long, I wouldn't call them particularly sluggish (provided you have enough RAM, that is).
I use the Adobe suite because it does things that I cannot find anywhere else, or are worse. This doen't mean I find them anywhere near to perfection. In some areas they are very outdate: just think to InDesign's support for ePub and XHTML, or the lack of an outliner in this now supposedly long-document creator.I've used most of Apple's apps and the Adobe apps still blow them away, Lightroom is far better on the whole than Aperture, and After Effects is far better than Motion. Final Cut Pro is a good app but is also really backwards in a lot of ways
OK, I can tolerate an original, common user interface. But not Window elements transplanted into the Mac, like it happens with Acrobat X and some parts of Illustrator. This is not cross-platform, but traces of a badly-made porting with very little respect for customers not working on Windows.And the "alien" interface is actually an advantage when you have to switch back and forth between platforms
Well... as an owner of a production studio with a dozen animators, editors, producers and additional staff.... I'd say otherwise. We gave Final Cut Pro X a good 90 day run and it's definitely not fit for a pro environment.
----------
There are still a lot of critical features missing in Final Cut Pro X that will keep us from returning to it any time soon. Which is unfortunate, as our studio was a FCP studio since 2.0
So Papermaster was hired without Steve's knowledge or approval? I have a hard time believing that.No, he didn't. But it was Steve who fired him.
Yeah, they screwed up with FCP X. I think they will fix it. The question is how long it takes. I know you can't wait around when you've got a business to run. I think they're waiting on Logic 10 (X) to make sure they get it right. We shall see though. Are you still using legacy FCP or have you jumped ship entirely?
