Apple Hires Adobe Exec Who Hates iPhones And Is Pro Flash…. What’s Up With That?
This is very bizarre.
Apple has hired ex-Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch to become their vice president of technology, It’s a decision that makes no sense. Here’s why:
Lynch has been a Flash fanboi. You might recall that Apple are not Flash fanbois saying that it should be replaced with HTML5. Lynch at the time shot back by accusing Apple of being the “Big Brother” that they said they wouldn’t be in their 1984 commercial.
Lynch has a YouTube video where he and an associate destroy iPhones in a variety of ways. Here’s the video:
So why would Apple hire someone who is pro-Flash and someone who hates iPhones enough to destroy them on video? Why would Lynch work for someone he has spent years hating? I don’t get it.
I have the feeling that this hire might end badly as this is a really questionable hire. Anyone remember the Mark Papermaster fiasco?
