Connor Brown
he did it too early, but he saw the failures in flash, and didnt want it in his *perfect* product. nowdays flash is on its way out. too bad about jobs tho, apple wouldnt be the shitter it is today if he were still around.

They still hold onto quicktime, so it was just a shill move, they don't really give a fuck about advancing technology.
Jack Garcia
>nowdays flash is on its way out

Ryder Mitchell
Then:
>WTF? Everything runs Flash.
>APPLE IS FINISHED
>LOL RIP APPLE
Now:
>fuck flash

Provide counter examples or all you're doing is shitposting.
David Jenkins
Quicktime is my counter example. I'm not bashing its just the truth, all tech companies give a shit about is having the next popular gimmick. Its always been that way, not just with apple.
Benjamin Butler
Providing a ballsier move is a counter example in this case. Only a very basic level of understanding is required to figure this out. Do you have development issues?

It wasnt ballsy at all, it was a calculated risk that they knew would favor them. Learn2business. Stop thinking any company gives a remote shit about moving the world forward. Im done with this bait anyways.

Ballsier move is Nokia's refusal to go Android. Which made them extinct
Ballsier move is Salesforce refusal of 50 billion acquisition dollars from MS.

>It wasnt ballsy at all, it was a calculated risk
These aren't mutually exclusive.
Eli Miller
ballsiest is quite often the most retarded
but who knows, maybe that salesforce refusal turns out to be great for them
Ryder Lopez
not exactly... its on its way out for the reasons he didnt include it though.
Christopher Diaz
Hard to argue with that tb h
Idiocy not balls
What was to be lost in developing Bitcoin?
John Scott

FRESH MEAT, BOYS!!!!

Is it really a technology thing though? It involved tech, but was more of a security & privacy matter.
It's like saying OJ's Ford Bronco chase was a big event in automotive history.

>Even though the Bronco would soon be discontinued, exposure from the O.J. chase may have helped sales, albeit briefly, during the car's last years.
>In 1994, Ford sold a little over 37,000 Broncos, an increase of more than 7,000 from the year before.

>Rest of the world quietly works on alternatives to flash with the goal of slowly phasing it out

>The rest of the world continues to phase it out while developing alternatives
Yeah, Steve Jobs really killed flash alright.
