Was Steve Jobs dropping Flash the ballsiest move in computing history?
>>55088945
He had balls?
>>55088945
he did it too early, but he saw the failures in flash, and didnt want it in his *perfect* product. nowdays flash is on its way out. too bad about jobs tho, apple wouldnt be the shitter it is today if he were still around.

They still hold onto quicktime, so it was just a shill move, they don't really give a fuck about advancing technology.

Provide counter examples or all you're doing is shitposting.

Quicktime is my counter example. I'm not bashing its just the truth, all tech companies give a shit about is having the next popular gimmick. Its always been that way, not just with apple.
>>55089069
Providing a ballsier move is a counter example in this case. Only a very basic level of understanding is required to figure this out. Do you have development issues?

It wasnt ballsy at all, it was a calculated risk that they knew would favor them. Learn2business. Stop thinking any company gives a remote shit about moving the world forward. Im done with this bait anyways.

Ballsier move is Nokia's refusal to go Android. Which made them extinct
Ballsier move is Salesforce refusal of 50 billion acquisition dollars from MS.

>It wasnt ballsy at all, it was a calculated risk
These aren't mutually exclusive.
>>55089145
ballsiest is quite often the most retarded
but who knows, maybe that salesforce refusal turns out to be great for them
>>55089032
not exactly... its on its way out for the reasons he didnt include it though.
>>55089105
Hard to argue with that tb h
>>55089118
Idiocy not balls
>>55089130
What was to be lost in developing Bitcoin?
>>55089038
well look at what we got us here,
Its a little apple fanboy
FRESH MEAT, BOYS!!!!

Is it really a technology thing though? It involved tech, but was more of a security & privacy matter.
It's like saying OJ's Ford Bronco chase was a big event in automotive history.

>Even though the Bronco would soon be discontinued, exposure from the O.J. chase may have helped sales, albeit briefly, during the car's last years.
>In 1994, Ford sold a little over 37,000 Broncos, an increase of more than 7,000 from the year before.

>Rest of the world quietly works on alternatives to flash with the goal of slowly phasing it out
>Jobs announces that flash is dead
>The rest of the world continues to phase it out while developing alternatives
Yeah, Steve Jobs really killed flash alright.
