According to an ITWorld report, Adobe is on the verge of suing Apple, as the two companies continue to battle over Apple's strong rejection of Flash support on their devices.
The report cites "sources close to Adobe" when saying a lawsuit is in the works in the coming weeks.
Over the course of a few months, the niceties between the two companies has broken down, with Apple practically ... [ read the full article ]

Jem.. I remember and loved cbm/amiga.. but they died for the same reasons we see now from crapple and microshit.... monopolistic behaviour and proprietary closed source programs.. from 90% of the home computer market to a distant memory in 3 years.. Then again.. back then consumers actually had brains and weren't going to be treated like sheep by some company out to rip them of every possible penny for a "brand" image..
I'm neutral.. I don't own anything from these monopolists.. they can both go to the wall tomorrow and I won't care.

I agree. I was also an early Amiga user.
No product is perfect, and harping on "what's missing" or what falls short for any individual is misguided adventure in futility.

LOL, if that ain't Aussie I don't know what is.
Heh. Dinki Di mate. My old man was in Tobruk and all. :)
I also say "Crikey" too... but in a more expletive manner... not in the Steve Irwin expressive way.
As in, "Crikey, when will these gullible MacHeads ever get over the past!" :P
PS: You must have been in need of a laugh after that last effort over Interpol. I had that god-bothering fool challenging me to a dual... what a pointless waste of time that would be! "Yay, and thou shall smite the heathen and leave nought but ashes in his mouth"... oh puleeze. I almost shat myself from laughing. ROFL.
Windows 7 rulez!!! love it, got a mac lappy too it also rulez!
but had to buy a pc comp for the power and software that isnt on the mac.
But I have to say I am very impressed win 7, kicks the Apple OS, least for a while. Been a web developer Apple is threatening to make yrs of work and my expensive studies obsolete. And I havent even finished :( I hate you now apple, you just lost a customer.

Well, I tend to be a pragmatist about it nowadays Paula. It's like having refused to eventually use VHS because Beta was the better format.
As you know I like gaming as well.
I know Windows didn't use a unix basis, it is what it is. There's still an excellent array of software on it. And the new Win7x64 does seem a real improvement by all accounts.
Ideally, I plan to use a triple boot with Win7x64, XPx86 and (probably) YourBumToo Linux.
There's still a lot of talk about new Amigas or variants Paula. One site (and I'm buggered if I can find it again) has these A500 style poots that seem to be able to run any sort of OS... including Mac OSX.

@Skat "perfection" is one of those anti-concepts I run a mile from. If you think not having access to the widest range of software possible (including most games), an inability to upgrade your system without buying a whole new one and that paying through the nose for the privilege is near "perfection"... you need your head examined.

Install VirtualBox and play in a virtual machine. Virtual machines are unreal. This concept frees up a lot of computer hardware and could save you a bundle of money.
