Steve Jobs: Google’s ‘Don’t Be Evil’ Mantra is ‘Bullshit,’ Adobe Is Lazy

Steve Jobs: Google’s ‘Don’t Be Evil’ mantra is ‘Bullshit,’ Adobe is Lazy →

Wired reports on Steve Jobs’ Town Hall meeting with the employees. Some very interesting questions were answered:

On Google: “We did not enter the search business,” Jobs said. “They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them,” he says. Someone else asks something on a different topic, but there’s no getting Jobs off this rant. “I want to go back to that other question first and say one more thing,” he says. “This don’t be evil mantra: “It’s bullshit.”” Audience roars.

About Adobe: “They are lazy,” Jobs says. “They have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it. They don’t do anything with the approaches that Apple is taking, like Carbon. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy,” he says. “Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash,” he says. “The world is moving to HTML5.”

This was of course, was ‘privately leaked’ to Wired, so it cannot be counted as a public statement. But that doesn’t mean the war isn’t on!

Meanwhile, MacRumors is building their story on the entire meeting, which includes answers to Bluray, lala, and a mention that the iPhone is getting an “A+ update”.

This is interesting of what Steve Jobs said in a private meeting. Apparently, there is undeclared war going on between Google & Apple.

The next thing I am guessing Apple will be jumping into, is search & web business. That's all they need to take over the world.
