Adobe evangelist tells Apple: ‘Go screw yourself’

react to a alteration in the licensing terms for developers building applications programme for rendering 4.0 of the iPhone , a technology gospeler for Adobe Systems has told Apple to go do an anatomically inconceivable act .

“ Go chicane yourself Apple,”wroteLee Brimelow , an Adobe platformevangelist , on his personal WWW site , The Flash Blog .

The mail service is the latest volley in an escalating war between Apple and Adobe . This week , Apple vary the licensing spoken communication for its iPhone SDK ( software exploitation kit)in such a waythat developer may not submit programme to Apple that use cross - platform compilers ( or compiler that would allow them to publish a program once and have it fly the coop on either the iPhone , Android or any other platform with no change ) .

As it pass , Adobe be after to stick in just such a cross - platform compiler with version 5 of its Creative Suite message creation parcel , due out on Monday .

Observers have pointed out that Apple ’s decision will affect not just Adobe , but anyothermakers of grumpy - platform compilers . But the move comes after Apple hasbannedAdobe ’s Flash Player from its iPhones and iPads , with Steve JobsinstructingWeb developer to apply HTML5 instead .

In afilingwith the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Friday , Adobe place Apple ’s refusal to allow Flash on its equipment as a “ risk factor ” for its business that could guide users toward “ alternate technologies . ”

Adobe ’s official reaction to the new license terms had thus far been quantify . A spokeswoman charge back the message , by e - mail : “ We are cognizant of Apple ’s young SDK speech and are looking into it . We go along to uprise our Packager for iPhone oculus sinister technology , which we design to debut in Flash CS5 . ”

Brimelow , however , does not withhold his scorn . Apple ’s action “ is a frightening move that has no rational defense lawyers other than wanting tyrannic control over developers and more importantly , wanting to use developer as cat’s-paw in their drive against Adobe , ” he wrote .

Brimelow ’s web log has a disclaimer tell the legal opinion utter there are his own and not those of Adobe . The WHOIS Internet domain name information divine service backs this claim , listingBrimelow , not Adobe , as the owner of Flashblog.com .

Adobe , apparently , was at least cognizant of the blog post just as it go live . The second paragraph mentions that a line was edited out on behalf of Adobe . The early version of the postapparentlystated that “ What is clear is that Apple has timed this intentionally to hurt cut-rate sale of CS5 . ”

Brimelow ’s blog mail service close with a last jab : “ Comments disabled as I ’m not interested in hearing from the Cupertino Comment junk e-mail bot . ”

Adobe has confirm that Brimelow works for Adobe .
