I think he's just borrowing old lingo from Jobs. I never found Gruber to be particularly insightful.

No kidding. The first thing I thought of was Photoshop.

Did you not read the blog post linked to in the post to which you responded?![]()
Well this guy came from Macromedia first, the original creator of Flash.
Hopefully we will be seeing Apple's take on Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.
Now we can see comments mentioning, how great Flash is and how it is useful for the mankind etc....but few years back when Adobe-Apple rivalry at its peak, they were singing different tune against Flash....
This guy brings some great know how. and yet he is A guy that destroys iPhone... That is just disrespectful. You didn't see Steve jobs smashing competitors products with a sledge hammer. I don't know if he fits the culture .

Well Cook did hire Browett after all. I wonder if this hire had to be approved by Cook or if it stopped with Mansfield?
Provided I had enough RAM I could run just about anything. If I could do the same amount of work I do on Adobe Apps on another platform/app with more ease and less RAM then that is called efficiency and Adobe would be considered "sluggish".
I think it had be great for him to join Apple as VP for professional creative markets. And let's hope he left Adobe because his disdain for their lack of interest in future technologies, crappy installers, buggy software and feature creep.[url=http://cdn.macrumors.com/im/macrumorsthreadlogodarkd.png]Image[/url]
CNBC's Jon Fortt has just issued a Tweet reporting that Adobe Chief Technology Officer Kevin Lynch is leaving the company to join Apple. A second Tweet from CNBC claims that Lynch's departure from Adobe is coming this week.
It is not yet clear what role Lynch will be taking on Apple, but Fortt presumably has a full report coming soon.
Lynch spent ten years as Chief Software Architect at Macromedia before joining Adobe when it acquired Macromedia in 2005. Lynch has been Chief Technology Officer at Adobe since 2008.
In his executive role at Adobe, Lynch occasionally addressed tensions between Apple and Adobe over Flash as Apple chose not to support the technology on its iOS devices and to minimize its presence on the Mac platform. Lynch had expressed disappointment at Apple's "negative campaigning" against Flash, but the two companies have obviously continued to have a working relationship.
Update: Adobe announced Lynch's departure in a filing with the SEC today, though it did not specify where he will be working next.
Update 2: Adobe issued this statement to AllThingsD, saying that Lynch will be going to Apple -- though it doesn't specify what position he will be taking:
Update 3: CNBC's Jon Fortt tweets that Lynch will be reporting to Bob Mansfield, Apple's senior vice president of Technologies.

If it's anything like their take on Word, Excel etc. I'll pass.
