The good reason Steve Jobs has for not having Flash on the iPhone is that you are his bitch and a good little bitch does not own anything.

Or maybe just Adobe demanded an unbelievable shitload of money for the rights and technology to put Flash on the iPhone, just like they demand an unbelievable shitload for everything else.

I feel kinda ridiculous complaining about this, and it may be more indicative of my priorities than anything else, but why is it that the week the new Animal Crossing comes out I finally meet a girl who's really perfect for me? I just rolled Hoon last night, got a couple hours in, and then realized I have made plans with this girl for tonight, tomorrow night, Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning.

I'm very, very happy about the new relationship--don't get me wrong--but if I don't hit these rocks with a shovel, who will?

It's okay, I have a similar complaint. I've been playing the DS version of the game lately, and so is my girlfriend - so I don't feel weird pulling out the DS when she's at my place or when I'm at hers or whatever. (And since she lives with her technologically-impared grandparents, I really, really need something to keep myself busy.) But now that City Folk is out, I can't play it when I'm not at my house and even when I am, I basically have to interrupt whatever else we might be watching on TV or whatever if I want to play.

This is exactly why I'm not even remotely tempted to jump back on the horse.  Animal Crossing only really makes sense to me as a portable game.  But then, I've only played the DS one too, so.

I read somewhere that Adobe software has an astronomical piracy rate, due to the fact that they demand big sacks of money for ONE of their programs. And you need like, twelve to complete the whole suite.

Yeah. Adobe is pretty much the living example of the 'stupid' way to go.

In fairness though, I've never seen what the sales projection would be for Photoshop at price points of $50, $25, or $5.

I dunno, Adobe's business model seems to be pretty damn slick.  It doesn't matter if individual users pirate the shit out of Photoshop.  With everybody doing that, it's practically the industry standard, so companies pay the exorbitant costs because it's what everybody uses and what everybody expects to see used.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I'm pretty sure you've got it backwards. everybody pirates it because it is for some reason the industry standard.

It is the industry standard because Adobe either buys its competitors or runs them out of business.

When Adobe bought Macromedia, we all immediately laughed about how everything in the suite was going to go up $100.  I won't say "joked", because we knew it was true.

Speaking as a frequent user, I can say that the product is still of very high quality. Stuff like Gimp may have a neat trick or two, but are generally far inferior programs.

I spent all morning crashing Flash CS3!

Really it was my fault, not Flash's.

Oh I object to the monopoly. The product may at least be of good quality, but as can be seen there is no competition to speak of. And if they ever become too complacent, we'll be pretty fucked.
