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 releases patch for ‘critical’ Flash vulnerability

Last Updated on Friday, 11 June 2010 12:29 Written by Donald Melanson Friday, 11 June 2010 12:29

As promised , Adobe has now released an update to Flash that fixes the critical vulnerability discovered earlier this month that could allow your computer to be remotely hijacked. The update naturally covers Windows, Mac and Linux users (and even Solaris, for that matter), and is recommended for anyone running Flash Player 10.0.45.2 or earlier — the update will also, of course, bump you up to Flash 10.1 if you haven’t made the jump already. Adobe AIR users are also advised to upgrade to the latest version released today but, as reported earlier, Adobe Acrobat and Reader users will still have to wait a bit for their fix — while they’re also affected by the vulnerability, they won’t be getting an update until the end of the month. Update: Those not able (or willing) to upgrade to Flash 10.1 can also get a patched version of Flash Player 9 right here .

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

Flash Player ‘Gala’ brings hardware decoding support to Mac OS X

Last Updated on Wednesday, 28 April 2010 06:13 Written by Nilay Patel Wednesday, 28 April 2010 06:13

Even amidst all their fighting, it appears Apple and Adobe can manage to lay down arms and work together every once in a while: Apple just enabled low-level access to NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, 320M and GT 330M H.264 GPU hardware in Mac OS X 10.6.3, and Adobe’s followed up six days later with a new preview version of Flash Player code-named “Gala” that takes advantage of it. That’s good news for anyone who’s ever heard their fans spin up while watching a YouTube video on a Mac (so, everyone) but we doubt it means there’s any détente on larger issues between these two coming — Apple remains committed to HTML5, while Adobe’s pulled all investment from iPhone-related Flash development, and the company’s relationship with Google seems to be heating up . We’ll take what we can get, we suppose — we’ll hit you with some benchmarks just as soon as we get things installed.

Adobe CEO: Flash coming to Android, WebOS and BlackBerry ‘smartphones and tablets’ in 2H 2010

Last Updated on Sunday, 18 April 2010 04:07 Written by Vladislav Savov Sunday, 18 April 2010 04:07

This week Adobe released version 5 of its Creative Suite software compilation. CEO Shantanu Narayen has naturally hit the interview trail to promote his company’s wares, but the biggest news from him is actually a delay of sorts. We’d previously heard that Android , WebOS and BlackBerry versions of Flash 10.1 would be available in the first half of 2010, but Adobe’s chief now places delivery to those platforms in the second half of the year. At least consolation may be found in his teasing of new Flash-enabled tablets — most likely to be running Android or Chrome OS — which we’re told to expect to see within the same time frame. As to the question of Apple’s holdout from Flash nirvana, Narayen describes it as a business rather than technology decision, which “hurts consumers” and will ultimately be judged by people voting “for the experience that they want through their wallet.” Can’t really argue with that.

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
