Apple AND Adobe: both companies are creeping me out alittle. alot

Adobe posted this open Letter to Apple :

We publish the specifications for Flash — meaning anyone can make their own Flash player. Yet, Adobe Flash technology remains the market leader because of the constant creativity and technical innovation of our employees.

We believe that Apple, by taking the opposite approach, has taken a step that could undermine this next chapter of the web — the chapter in which mobile devices outnumber computers, any individual can be a publisher, and content is accessed anywhere and at any time.

In the end, we believe the question is really this: Who controls the World Wide Web? And we believe the answer is: nobody — and everybody, but certainly not a single company.

whats so funny to me is adobes’ stance:one that hints at some sort of free opensource style market web economy- which they participate in:
really? Adobe you just royally f-ed most of your loyal customers when you  released your ltest and greatest contributions at the insane upgrade price of a mere 899 dollars.

oh well.

i just feel way more ok about borrowing your software ,on a long term basis. ..and letting others** know that their trial downloads can be extended.

**who happen to be  trying to make ends meet.

and CONSCIOUS

and not totally  insane people pasting ads in newspapers telling everyone  about their moral awesomeness

lame-orama
