Notice the cheek of the adobe guy for musing about supporting offline storage as being non standard, then pimping the very proprietary and platform limited AIR (let alone flash).


I think Mike's absolutely right. There's nothing inherently better about Mozilla's efforts simply because they're non-profit.

You gotta hand it to Mike Chambers though; if there's one thing he's good at, it's spending all day on the internet googling Adobe.


lol ! Yes some people are just everywhere.

Well its was more the use of words that offended me. There is something "better" in that mozilla is a non profit committed (and with a track record) of delivering free (in every sense) software. They would only go beyond a standard when they really really really had to (and only until standards caught up).

I do respect adobes chops in the user interface space though, I just think their attitudes to open source (rather, their current leaderships attitudes) are a little pre-historic.
