OWNERS of iThings have asked if they can get Adobe Flash Player now.

Jobs was first to realise that the original iPad was far too big



Amid emotional tributes to Apple genius Steve Jobs, millions of customers said it would probably be okay for the company to go ahead and install the video playing software because Jobs would never know.

The Apple founder was always vehemently opposed to using Flash on mobile devices, claiming it was unstable, though rumours persist the two companies actually fell out over a woman.

Technology analyst Julian Cook said: "We have lost a great man. An innovator and a visionary who changed the world and stopped me watching videos on this thing I paid more than four hundred quid for.

"That said, I have had my iPad for nearly a year now and every time I use it I still think, 'fuck me, this thing is amazing'.

"I doubt there is another person in history who has provoked as many 'fuck me-s' as Steve Jobs. From the iMac to the iPod and iPhone, to Toy Story, Wall-E and Up, it's just one 'fuck me, how are they doing this?' after another."

Cook added: "His legacy will mean the company continues to grow and innovate, though I suspect many people will now find it easier to complain to Apple because Steve Jobs always looked like he might shout at you."

Meanwhile many Apple devotees are relaxed about Jobs' death, insisting he will rise again, probably on Sunday afternoon.

Tom Logan, who never doubted or denied Jobs, said: "He will then be taken up, at which point we, as disciples, would ordinarily go forth and take over the world. However Steve had already taken care of all that. Somewhat comprehensively.

"He actually makes Jesus look a bit 'meh'."

HTML5 is a bigger deal anyways but seriously... now that No-Porn-Steve is gone just add fucking flash, maybe some USB & HDMI ports on the iPad, and drop the price down 15% on a 3rd gen device that doesn't become obsolete within 9 months. Then we can talk...

GF this may sound snarky but it's intended as a legitimate compliment...

With all the fawning Jobs and Apple comments the past few days since his passing, it's nice to see someone post with a bit of logic. What you said hit the nail on the head for me. Apple is a shitty company on one very serious level...they do seem to force rapid obsolescence in order to increase device sales.

Thanks bud. We kind of got on that in the original thread about Jobs passing.

On one hand it is very sad that he died so young and left behind family and friends. On the other hand, he wasn't the hero of humanity so many articles make him out to be. His lack of interest in philanthropy is the biggest turn-off for me. Apple's culture of obsolescence itself is the next most irritating problem.

This kind of shit is just so frustrating:

Not even close. I just didn't want to be the one to say it and stayed out of the Jobian threads.

I like to be diplomatic and save my irritating stuff for those who deserve it.
