Adobe uses porn in anti-iPad campaign

In case you haven't noticed, the Apple iPad runs a version of iPhone OS that is conspicuously missing support for Adobe Flash media. Despite being billed as the web-surfing tablet to rule them all, the iPad won't be playing nice with any embedded Flash content. Adobe doesn't like that. They don't like that so much, in fact, that Adobe's Platform Evangelist Lee Brimelow has posted a graphic to TheFlashBlog.com that shows the iPad's limitations in visual form. One of Brimelow's examples of the iPad's Flash-shortcomings included a mockup of the iPad viewing porn site Bang Bros, filled with little blue legos that indicate failure to load Flash content. Yup, Adobe is using porn to smear the iPad. Nice.

The smutty image has since been removed from TheFlashBlog, but Wired was quick enough to snap a screenshot of the original content. Adobe apparently isn't taking Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)'s exclusion of Flash from the iPad too lightly, but we have to wonder how the “porn argument” fits into the equation. Could you imagine using the iPad to “watch” porn? Imagine the awkward positioning, the smudged screen, the… we'll stop now. Suffice it to say, porn on the iPad would totally redefine what it means to do some “one-handed typing.”

    Haha, Bang Bros, I download their shit from Limewire sometimes.

    And Adobe is right, the internet was made for porn, after all.

    The word on the iPad is that it's a joke...just a really big iPhone.

    I heard the joke:

    "The iPad, for douchebags whose friends didn't notice their iPhones."

    I think the ipad will be a neat product but not as revolutionary as iphone was. Cell phones were already mainstream when iphone came along. Tablet PCs are still a niche market compared to cell phones.

    I am surprised I have not heard something like :
    Since, iphone and Ipod came. American economy has declined and people lost more jobs, supreme court allowed free money from co-orporate into elections.

    Why cant people see behind the veil. Its intentional to keep people occupied with technology…while the elite carry there genocidal agenda.

    lol
