i get that Flash is evil and all that, but Apple seems to be going an extra mile to vilify and ostracize Adobe. what's going on?

and here's an article about Google and Apple just in a rivalry. i suppose that's been the case for some time now.
http://www.physorg.com/news190100718.html

at the recent iPhone 4.0 event, Jobs made it a point to take a jab at Google about their acquisition of AdMob. certainly not on a level with Adobe, so there's that. whistle

What's going on is Adobe isn't listening, never has, and Apple is going the extra mile, thank-you Apple.

i have no qualms with the fight with Adobe. i don't like a closed and proprietary system on the internet (i.e., Flash) so html5 is very welcome by me. in fact, i am thrilled with this focus by Apple, particularly since Adobe was trying to sabotage html5.

but it seems as though Apple isn't just trying to get the world to move to html5 as they are also trying to really hurt Adobe with the SDK. not allowing ported apps from Adobe Flash (seems weird not to say Macromedia Flash) is especially stinging.

Jobs responds to this issue (and the rationale seems quite sound, imho):

Apple and Adobe have been at it for years now. Adobe started yanking Mac apps and making Windows only versions of software about 5 years ago. It seems like Apple was buying it's time to get revenge.

IMO, Adobe doesn't want to piss off Apple. Apple could buy a majority in Adobe stocks for $10M and still have plenty of money to spare.

I've been working with Adobe apps, on Macs, since . . . Since I first started using Macs. Loooong time. Apple and Adobe are both very good at what they do, they both tend to cop serious attitude, and I can't live without either one. I don't want to, either. To paraphrase a comment in one of the linked articles ~ I hate it when mom and dad fight.
