Adobe isn't in the Flash business

From John Nack.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with my mother on Sunday in regards to the company she works for. I've been telling her that she should be telling them to stop thinking of themselves as a "magazine producer" and think of themselves as information peddlers. They used to use magazines as means of peddling information but that mode of delivery is clearly on the wane. I was saying that they need to get on the iPad wagon but quick.

I was also referencing Honda. I recalled a video I saw where Honda was discussing it's newest human "enhancement" of legs that attach to your legs. Why would Honda be doing that? They are a transportation company. Not a car company. Not a bike company. A transportation company.

The iPad is going to make people re-evaluate WHAT they are doing and realize that the "how" they were doing it was merely incidental.
