Taking a poll
Mar 22nd, 2010 at 1:26pm
 
Yesterday I saw a very funny Sunday comic and I was wondering how many people would get the joke.

Do you get the joke. There are actually 2 of them in there.

Nope. Unless Flash Gordon is owned by Microsoft or something.

Not really. Maybe 1) something about not using the newest, bestest technology, and 2) corporate control vs open standards. ?

The outer boundary of what we currently believe is feasible is far short of what we actually must do.

Apple threw all the porn apps off the Ipod download site.......I'm assuming that the author is referencing "Flash" in that context.......

Nope - that one went right over my head....  Kiss

Yes, I got the Flash part. Don't much care 'cause I won't be using one.

Adobe doesn't have a sense of humor either  Grin

I see an unencouraged little girl who still uses good ol' pencil and paper to express her fledgling creative interest, depicted as apparently unacceptable for pad support.  Humorous itself.

1 out of 6, that is about what I figured.

The first joke, "The Flash" ( not Flash Gordan) represents that the ipad won't be able to play flash based content.

The second joke, it is rumored that Apple blocks aps from it's devices, so Jasons comics, really the creator  Bill Amend will be blocked from Apple products if Steve Jobs doesn't have a sense of humor.

I was amazed that Bill Amend would push such a geek centric cartoon out on Sunday. On the other hand, the CBS show The Big Bang Theory is a hit show even though it is full of Geek culture.  Maybe Geek is ready for mainstream, even though mainstream doesn't understand it.

Footnote: The only reason there is no flash on Apples ARM processor products is because they don't want it. I think they are still mad that Quicktime went nowhere. Flash is an open standard and if Apple wanted to make a player for it, they could.
