Apple Steve Jobs recent comments on Flash disheartens his business partner Adobe and probably causes a hitch for the grand launch of Adobe Creative Suite CS5.
In a public statement made in Apple hot news section, Steve Jobs summaries his unpleasant user experiences with Flash in six major points. What TG thinks is the paramount factor that leads to Steve’s back-fire is:
We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers.
Interesting enough, Steve even helps Adobe to set the course in the future business model by concluding that
New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.
I can’t wait to see how Adobe will respond…

Kelikuru.com is 嘰哩咕嚕, a Chinese term basically means rumbling. The idea comes across TG's mind while watching a cartoon show on TV few years ago. We walk through our life,day by day ; speak to many people, known or unknown, year after year and we may not notice that there are so many wonderful things passing by. Writing a blog can literally leave my foot-prints in the internet world, help me keep the memory. At this moment, a big chunk of my life is closely aligned with user-centric design, user research, web-based environment both in Hong Kong and China. Perhaps I may not be like that tomorrow, I may be in other setting, have nothing to do with usability, but who knows what's going to happen next?
