Adobe’s CEO: ‘we’ve moved on’ from Apple’s argument, and Flash still rules
Last Updated on Monday, 16 August 2010 11:13 Written by Darren Murph Monday, 16 August 2010 11:13
You can only humor someone for so long, and it seems as if Adobe is at its breaking point with Apple . Just three months after publishing a new ad campaign that sought to ease the tension between the two mega-corps, Adobe’s CEO has been quoted as saying that his company has “moved on” from the whole ordeal. On one hand, we’re glad to see Adobe focusing its resources on optimizing Flash for the myriad Android 2.2 devices that’ll support its mobile player in the months to come, but on the other, it’s a bit depressing to see Shantanu Narayen essentially give up hope that Jobs and Company will ever come to their senses. For example, have a listen at this, with “they” most certainly referring to Apple: “They’ve chosen to keep their system closed and we’d rather work with partners who are interested in working with us. We believe in open systems. We believe in the power of the internet and in customers making choices and I think a lot of the controversy was about their decision at that point. They’ve made their choice

Adobe expects Flash on 250 million smartphones by end of 2012
Last Updated on Friday, 11 June 2010 01:20 Written by Vladislav Savov Friday, 11 June 2010 01:20
While in the midst of fixing a unicorn-sized hole in the security of its desktop software, Adobe has been talking about its future in the mobile space. According to its rose-tinted forecasts, Flash Player will be featured in a quarter billion handsets by the end of 2012, including 53 percent of all smarphones shipped that year. Those are pretty strident words for a company that has yet to ship Flash Player 10.1 in even one new handset, but we’re reminded that Android 2.2 ‘s leading position on the issue will be swiftly followed by BlackBerry OS, Symbian, webOS, and Windows Phone 7 supporting the full fat Flash experience. Whether all that momentum will be enough to produce an install base of 250 million, we don’t know.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 now officially available for download
Last Updated on Thursday, 10 June 2010 11:37 Written by Nilay Patel Thursday, 10 June 2010 11:37
Well look at that — Adobe’s now officially serving up Flash Player 10.1 on its download pages. If you’re anything like us, you’ve been running 10.1 since it hit Release Candidate status a couple months ago, but if you’ve held off the upgrade brings some much-needed hardware acceleration to the mix, as well as other assorted performance enhancements and improvements. We’re curious to see if the various issues with Broadcom Crystal HD netbooks have been resolved in this final version, and Mac users will have to wait for the “Gala” update to see any hardware-powered boost on their systems, but it’s nice to finally see Adobe ship this thing. Let us know how it goes in comments, yeah

Let us know how it goes in comments, yeah? Update: Sorry folks — contrary to reports, it doesn’t look like the Gala hardware acceleration code was secretly included in the OS X build, as we just tried it on a new MacBook Pro and the graphics didn’t switch over to the discrete chip. What’s more, the Gala project page is still alive and kicking with a release date expected “following the release of Flash Player 10.1.” We’ll just have to be patient, we suppose.

Adobe’s Flash and Acrobat have ‘critical’ vulnerability, may allow remote hijacking
Last Updated on Saturday, 5 June 2010 02:45 Written by Vladislav Savov Saturday, 5 June 2010 02:45
When Adobe said Flash gives you the full web experience , it meant it. Part and parcel of the web, as we all know, is the good old hacking community, which has been “actively exploiting” a vulnerability in Flash Player 10.0.45.2 (and earlier versions) and Adobe Acrobat and Reader 9.x to overtake people’s machines and do hacky stuff with them. This so-called flaw also causes crashes, but that’s probably not what’s worrying you right now. Adobe says the 10.1 Release Candidate for Flash Player looks to be unaffected, while versions 8.x of Acrobat and Reader are confirmed safe. To remedy the trouble, the company advises moving to the RC for Flash, and deleting authplay.dll to keep your Acrobat from performing undesirable gymnastics. Oh boy, Steve ‘s gonna have a field day with this one.

Adobe got 7 million iPhone and iPod touch download requests for Flash in December
Last Updated on Wednesday, 10 February 2010 12:04 Written by Vladislav Savov Wednesday, 10 February 2010 12:04
A touch of history might be appropriate here. Back in March 2008, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen proudly proclaimed that his team was about to start coding a Flash player for the iPhone, only for his company to promptly backtrack on those words a day later. Then, about this time last year, Apple and Adobe again announced that they were collectively working on putting the ubiquitous format on Cupertino’s mobile devices, but you won’t be surprised to hear that hasn’t born any fruit yet either
