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.

Google sits pretty while Microsoft does damage control

After China’s attack on Google, it didn’t take long before the news broke that it was actually an Internet Explorer exploit that made it possible. It seems as though Microsoft’s browser has definitely been tagged as “insecure”, even if IE8 is actually better than previous versions. Google Chrome is building momentum, and that could be making Microsoft a bit nervous.

While Google is almost being looked at as a “hero” in this whole China ordeal, Microsoft has been trying to do some damage control by telling people that if they switch from the browser, they are actually putting themselves at more risk. This specific problem only exists in IE6, but even legacy browsers are causing the browser landscape to change.

This is a PR nightmare for Microsoft, and it’s only going to get worse if and when more exploits like this make their way into headlines.

Do you trust Internet Explorer? Do you trust Google Chrome? Let’s hear your take on this battlefield.

Google Explains What a Browser Is

Believe it or not, not that many people know what browser is. All they know is that the browser is a way to search things on Internet.

This is where Google comes in to educate those about what browser is. And of course Google is doing this for its Chrome browser and its upcoming Chrome OS.
