Was watching a great 2010 interview with
Steve Jobs
. One interviewer asked why
Apple
wasn't supporting
Adobe
Flash
, which at the time was The way to make interactive UIs... remember back then the interactive web was still nascent. As in many developers would make an Adobe Flash application and their websites would simply load that into the page.
Apple bucked the trend by not supporting that in their default browsers that came with the
iPhone
and
iPad
The interviewer hilariously talks about this great app that was 'so good'. I don't even know if it exists anymore. But he was using it as an example for the consequences for not supporting software such as Flash.
Jobs remarks about how there's plenty of software in the bygone days that were huge and that constantly new
software
will win out. Also he accurately and astutely stated that they are open to supporting respectable standards such as
HTML
5 in this case.
Ha I'm reading
Brad Stone
's new book about
Amazon
and there's a short phase after the death of
Steve Jobs
where
Jeff Bezos
attempts to take on the showmanship keynoter CEO to introduce Amazon products.
