Apple’s Steve Jobs – Google’s ‘Don’t Be Evil’ Mantra is ‘Bulls**t,’ Adobe Is Lazy

Posted by on Jan 31, 2010 | 5 Comments

Steve Jobs appear to be getting more grumpy as he ages, or is it that he may be suffering from health issues, that has caused him to sling mud towards Google and Adobe. After his introduction of his newest table computer called the iPad, he went on the offensive in a blitzkrieg of attacks. In his take no prisoner attacks, he stated that Google is evil and Adobe is just plain lazy.

Jobs, characteristically, did not mince words as he spoke to the assembled, according to a person who was there who could not be named because this person is not authorized by Apple to speak with the press.

On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them, he says. Someone else asks something on a different topic, but there’s no getting Jobs off this rant. I want to go back to that other question first and say one more thing, he says. This don’t be evil mantra: “It’s bulls**t.” Audience roars.

About Adobe: They are lazy, Jobs says. They have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it. They don’t do anything with the approaches that Apple is taking, like Carbon. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash, he says. The world is moving to HTML5.

I always laugh when I read these corporate types get all huffy and puffy and resort to name calling. It is obvious that they place to much emphasis on this life and they do not understand that it does not really matter.  What really matters is how you prepare yourself for the next life and that people is not bulls**t!

Comments welcome.

    You have to love it.

    Macs crashing is due to Flash, it’s not Apple’s fault.

    Windows PCs crashing due to drivers that are written by a third party, giving a BSOD, that’s Microsoft’s fault.

    Jobs, blow it out your rear end. Your reality distortion field is showing.

    Regarding Steve’s comments towards Adobe – I think he is right.

    I use to like Adobe because they use to make good products that were actually useful. Now I feel the only thing Adobe knows how to make is money.

    Apple is one of the few companies that still knows how to both make useful products and how to make money.

    Right on. “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on Earth…”

    Now the hard part is to practice what we preach, eh? ; )

    mhz,
    It is hard to practice what we preach, I agree with you. But I’m trying my best to do it.

    Yes, in commie land, it is considered “evil” to create a competing product. Competition itself is a bourgeios conceit that exploits the proletariat by duplicating labor and forcing that most horrible condition, indecision. … *rolls eyes* Wah wah wah, I’m Steve Jobs, and I almost ruled the phone world, and if people would just shut up and buy my product they’d finally achieve Stevejobian perfection like I have…
