Five rational arguments against Apple’s 3.3.1 policy

Five rational arguments against Apple’s 3.3.1 policy

"Lots of developers, me included, have had such a gut-turning reaction to Apple’s new policy that we have a hard time thinking and speaking rationally. The emotions take over and we start screaming “fascists!”, which isn’t very persuasive to non-developers who don’t have the same instinctual reaction. So instead, allow me to go through five (mostly) rational arguments for why this is a bad idea."

"Flash is rich with capability and can be made highly accessible. That it is unstable on Mac and Linux is one reason Apple chose not to include it in its devices; that this omission will change the way some developers create web content is certain. If the first thing it does is encourage them to develop semantic HTML first, that’s a win for everyone who uses the web."

Adobe AIR

Wir sind ja gerade sehr fasziniert von AIR, haben allerdings auch gleich ein paar Probleme entdeckt:

A:
hm.. Air hat halt das Problem, daß man die Leute erstmal dazu bringen muss, diese Runtime zu installieren
B:
Absolut. Da muss sich Adobe was einfallen lassen.
A:
Am Besten als Bundle mit Flash irgendwie unterschieben.
B:
yep, oder mit dem Acrobat Reader. Installieren sich ja auch immer noch viele Leute
A:
Oder mit raubkopierten Photoshops. Die hat ja auch fast jeder.
B:
Oops. Ertappt :)

Ich wünscht, ich hätte dafür jetzt Zeit. Ist wie Desktop Tower Defence, was ja auch nur Zeit raubt. [via Waxy.org]
