There is this idea that was articulated by an old timer - an ex-bank CEO
- on Bill Moyer's show a few weeks ago, that companies and running
companies used to be about product and solving customers' problems -
great loan products if you are are a banker, or Flash and great tools if
you run Adobe. But these days business culture has changed to be
primarily about profit, to the point where you actually get Kudos for
gloating about how much money you were able to stock pile this quarter,
instead of what great products you created, or how many customers you
satisfied.
This is a sad state of affairs that affects more than just Adobe, though
they seem to have slipped into that black hole of profit gloating just
like so many other American corporations. And the CEOs probably get real
social kudos for that money gloating at their cocktail parties.
Personally, I'll stay focused on products and customers, and hope that's
enough to help change the culture back. I'm pretty much at the bottom of
the totem pole though. I can only hope these old ideas will see some
kind of revival at that corporate board and CEO level of American culture.

Flash is not personal to them, it's just a number, that is loosing.

Business is business, personal is personal.
If it don't make dollars then it don't make sense!! Right!?!
If I had anything to say about the future of flash, it would be, sell
it back to Macromedia if you can't fill the position.
I am sure those guys would make it WAY better then HTML 5 and it would
work better then it ever did. Including no need for AIR.
They'd probably create something like FLAIR. lol
Rant done.
Thank you for your time.
