Welcome to February! The first month of the new decade is over and the big news is that Steve Jobs is pissed and enmity between Apple and Google and Adobe is mounting…

“According to TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog) Steve Jobs railed at Adobe and Google at a company all hands meeting.

On Google: “We did not enter the search business. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake: they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them [...] This don’t be evil mantra? It’s bullshit.”

On Adobe: “They are lazy. 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. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash. The world is moving to HTML5.” Sounds like the petitions can stop now. If that’s really what Apple’s CEO thinks of Flash, then make no mistake: Flash is never coming to Apple’s mobile devices.” Source: Apple’s Steve Jobs Tells Google, “Bring it!” and Calls Flash Lazy Adobe’s Crash App | uber.la

“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.” Source: Google’s ‘Don’t Be Evil’ Mantra is ‘Bullshit,’ Adobe Is Lazy: Apple’s Steve Jobs (Update 2) | Epicenter | Wired.com
