Apples actual response to the Flash issue

[Randall Lee Reetz]

I am not bitter.  I am so hopping to engage at the requisite level to pass this baton into the future.  The numbers aren't good.  We are faced with the largest challenge in the history of multicellular biology.  All anyone seems to want to talk about is "the economy" or ipad apps.  Its suicidal.  There must be people out there that care and care from a grounded and practical perspective?  Even if the global heat budget wasn't skyrocketing, we would still be served by larger discussions than the is and if not of steve jobs... No?  You can't simultaneously pitch about urban finality and poopoo rational attempts to discuss ways to crawl out of it?  Why does my passion and sense of responsibility to honor the past that put us here, anger anyone?  I refuse to believe the vitrol pushed towards me is simply a reaction to my honest frustration.  Should we just keep dancing on titanic's deck?  Is stupidity the new brilliant?

So much of Randall's commentary is very very interesting. He is obviously a
scholar and a visionary. I only ask, why is he so bitter? There is nothing
we can do to bring forth his era of computing bliss.

I simply like using Revolution. Keyword "using". Randall wants improvements
in leaps so grand that only aliens or secret government technologies may
conceive of. Someone recently told me that the our technology today had
exceeded that of science-fiction's very own "Star Trek". I will agree that
the cell phone and iPad look like devices that were conceived of on sci-fi
television, yet we still burn fossil-fuels to go to the supermarket.
