Surprised nobody has posted this yet. It's interesting on a couple of levels (1. It's Steve talking about all the Google stuff and this Adobe Flash business, 2. It's Steve talking about what's ahead in 2010).
The story is at MacRumors, and originating from Wired. Jobs on Google: Quote:

On a side note: Steve is appearing to be in top condition again!
Apart from that, doesn't speculation about what 'next level' Macs might look like belong in a different section? |

When it's part of this overall, generalized story, mentioned in passing? No.
I guess if we got into a long, multi-post discussion about specifics (specs, design, etc.), then yeah. But that hasn't happened. It's about his overall comments (of which the "2010 Macs" was a small part). But I'll leave that for Brad to decide. It's his house...I just play in the yard. |

I must admit that Apple seems to be heading down the road on becoming more Anti-Google. I wonder if this map company they have bought will replace Google Maps?? I did think in the iPad keynote that Steve made a point of saying that the Map programme uses Googles back-end, so therefore it sounded like everything was ok there.
Do Google really want to kill the iPhone??? Not so sure, but they have certainly made big steps into limiting its success or at least competing for the same customer base. I think both companies realise that hardware and software are intertwined and that the really benefits are when you "control" both. I honestly believe that Google will end up doing the same with computers as it has done with Android and the Google Phone. You'll end up with a Chrome OS Google PC/Laptop/Pad thingy. |

Apple vs. Google is the new Apple vs. Microsoft is the new Apple vs. IBM. Notice a pattern? For being the perpetual underdog, Apple seems to last.
Few would argue that Apple is an underdog today. Not in the sectors that matter. Microsoft, however, seems primed for a rough decade. They won't go extinct, but...well, IBM is hardly relevant to consumer technology any more, either. I think Google "gets" some things that Microsoft never understood. And they have an ace up their sleeves, which is "free." But I think Apple will still profitably provide a better experience to all but the most unwilling to pay for it. And those aren't people cares about, anyway. |

Well I'm not so sure Blu-ray is quite the mess Jobs' claims. Maybe at a software level but then again Apple's entry into this field isn't exactly the shining example. We just got iTunes LP and Extras but I'm still not seeing where I should forgo on discs for downloads. There needs to be more "wow factor"
Google isn't trying to kill the iPhone they're just attempting to generate more billion dollar revenue categories and thus encroaching into other vendor areas. It's the nature of the beast. Flash needs to go bye bye. It's a good technology for developers that have been flaky for me. Click2Flash has made me a happy man and that speaks volumes about where I stand with Flash. Good to see more HTML5 stuff coming. Today it's SublimePlayer from Jilion http://blog.jilion.com/2010/01/25/in...g-sublimevideo I'm still thinking Apple would benefit from offering a Dreamweaver competitor that really delivers an outstanding HTML5 authoring enviroment to spur its use. omgwtfbbq |

And now comes the return fire as Adobe's CTO Defends Flash Against Apple HTML5.
