Aloha, Rand:

I would not slam your favorite company. If I were Jobs, I would do the 
same thing and I'm a sweet heart (or try to be, others may disagree). We 
all quite contently go on day after day with programs hanging 
occasionally, some update to the OS breaks the API for an earlier vers 
of some program. thunderbird, my favorite email client, now occasionally 
locks up as if it can no longer talk JAVA with Snow Leopard. Adobe's 
programs crash quite regularly.

How would we all like it if RunRev allowed any third party developer to 
just upload "stuff" that was automatically incorporated into the IDE, 
which then broke the IDE?

This has been noted elsewhere, no platform engineering team in their 
right mind that is building multi-tasking into a mobile device would 
allow any other framework on board that could and probably would, bring 
the device down. That's the cake... the fact that it kills Adobe's CS5 
Flash Packager, is just icing on the cake for Apple and generates quite 
a marvelous "Carnival of the Titans" for all to watch... But apple is 
just being apple: tight standards = it just works.
