Steve Jobs Blasts Adobe, Flash, and Google

Jobs answered questions at One Infinite Loop to Apple employees, and had this to say about Adobe:

- John Abell, Google’s ‘Don’t Be Evil’ Mantra is ‘Bullshit,’ Adobe Is Lazy: Apple’s Steve Jobs

They are lazy, Jobs says. They have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it. They don’t do anything with the approaches that Apple is taking, like Carbon. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash, he says. The world is moving to HTML5.

I wonder if Flash is really the source of most crashes on Mac?

He also threw a rock at Google, saying the ‘Don’t Be Evil’ line is “bullshit.” I wonder if he meant that Google isn’t really trying not to be evil, or whether it is ok to be evil? I presume the former.
