The Tech world is in a tizzy over remarks Founder of Electronic Arts and former CEO John Riccitiello recently made about Apple, and if I didn’t know better I would say he’s waiting for them -_-

1st he says:
“
If you look at any institution in history – look at the Roman Empire – anything in history, and what it looks like when it’s peaking. Look at Apple, and how can you say it’s not peaking? The CEO is still alive, let’s start there. They invented this tablet thing that’s going to be really big. They’ve done really well by reinventing the phone. They breathed new life into the Mac. They’ve got this super-high marketing. All these things are about as good as they ever can be – how much better can it really get? The thing is, it may take another year or two before it starts to decline, but it has to – everything does. Everything revolves so much around Steve, and no matter how good his lieutenants are, they’re not Steve. None of us is going to live forever, though I hope he lives for a really long time.“
Then it seems he’s upset they don’t do flash:
“
They’ve created this outlet and they had to have an excuse to keep you there, so they’re like, ‘Oh it’s nothing against Flash; we just prefer HTML5’. Well, Flash can actually make a really good game, and with HTML5 you can’t do that. But give HTML5 another few years to mature, and that could solve the problem. Or Apple could be more generous about deciding to support more de facto standards like Flash, or at least let it run its course.
“
Has he just said what eveyone is thinking(elephant in the room) or did he just put a hex on Steve Jobs and Apple?? I do though think his argument about Flash is Super valid!!!
He spoke truth, all apple does with with every new phone us add one more feature knowing damn well they could’ve been released…. But the gimmick crowd falls for it all the time. They are behind on stuff… Apple is like Walmart…. That’s why developer want their apps on that device cause they have a nice following of consumers. Once again the long lines for iPhone 5 will be upon us…. Suckas for nothing….. Follow me @geekryderz if u don’t have a iPhone ..lmao
LOL why can’t the same thing be said for windows? Bill Gates is still alive, no? Does anyone know the names of people creating noteworthy things for Windows as well? I don’t think so… if anything, I would say Windows is more likely to decline first, anything to say otherwise?
I am getting the iPhone 5 just so the EVO and Droid heads can hate… @KingofTeez
@Dalton You make a good point, but I think the point here is Apple is on Top, like Windows once was, so Apple may not decline to a bottom out but he’s saying it will not stay on top
but flah is a hog. see all the iAlike devicews came out that support flash and mobile data use shot up and now the prices. now adobe edge is coming so we’ll see how that works out. i worked on flash on desktops but the mobile space is different so you need to adapt.
