The Flash Fight Rages On

Although most of the gaming press has been engrossed in the Infinity Ward vs Activision litigation series, my interest lies with the delicious corporate smack talk over the absence of Flash on iPhone and iPad, with the mega-suits of Apple and Adobe standing 20 paces apart, fingers twitching over their Manolo Blahnik pistols.

Starting with Adobe's Flash honcho, Mike Chamber's, blog rant, where he was obviously frustrated with Apple, oh so tantalizing close to typing "fascist" on his keyboard.

The situation soon got cranked to 11 when none other than Steve Jobs donned his seal-skin Isotoners and stepped into the Octogon. Mincing no words, he called Flash a bloated, broken, outdated piece of...technology. Ka-Pow!

Upon observing the brutal head-stomping of an Adobe brother, Papa Bear Adobe, Shantanu Narayen arrived as backup by reiterating Mr. Chamber's claims to Wall Street Journal. Two against one? That's some tough odds, Mr Jobs.

...but I see you're packing some heat, so it's a tough call.
