“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me dozens of times, I’m an Apple customer.”
-Mother Teresa (1910-1997)

Of course, it’s not the attack that’s shocking - just the public bit. Typically, the m.o. of the Jobsian cult is to abuse Adobe Flash behind closed doors - or simply ban it from popular handheld devices.

On Wednesday, Apple PR sent a - gasp! - statement to Cnet regarding the ongoing Adobe kerfuffle, and the irony is that it called Flash “closed and proprietary.”

…

“Someone has it backwards,” spokeswoman Trudy Muller said in her statement to Cnet. “It is HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and H.264 (all supported by the iPhone and iPad) that are open and standard, while Adobe’s Flash is closed and proprietary.”

… only Apple can convince itself that such open standards include H.264.
