Steve: well, see our goal is really easy we didn’t start off to have a war with flash or anything else we just made a technical decision that we weren’t gonna put the energy into getting flash on our platform, we told Adobe if you ever have this thing running fast come back and show us, which they never did and/but we think we’re not gonna use it, and that was it. >Kara: so your goal your your ultimate goal is to get rid of flash or just to how. So something must be going right in terms of attracting developers to our platform!! We have over 200,000 apps on the App Store. Hypercard was huge in its day because it was accessible to anybody. >Mossberg: it wasn’t more popular than flash, was?! Steve: an even more popular development environment was hypercard and we were okay to axe that! >Mossberg: and what about the other community that I think is impacted by this and that’s developers, because what I think a lot of the coverage of this flash issue has overlooked is that yes, flash is a video container and there are other video containers actually have a very rising share each to h.264 and the native HTML5 but it’s also a development environment and there are entire some of them quite beautiful written on a flash? Steve: but that’s the number one holes that are there The holes that exist now are our ads, and that’s the problem for some people. Steve: there are holes in some websites but those holes are getting plugged real fast. >Mossberg interrupts: Except when they hold up their iPad and they go to a web page and there’s like a hole there, where a video would be. Steve: I think consumers outside of the valley and our industry aren’t having this issue…
>Kara: so do you say that to consumers, I mean besides the technologies? You know there’s been an avalanche of people that have said we’re doing HTML5 video and the video looks better and it works better and you don’t need a plug-in to run it, and so while 75% of the video in the web may be in flash, you know 25% going to 50% very shortly is also available in HTML5. Steve: Well, you know there’s going to have been for the last two or three years and every six months it gets updated, so I’m sure that eventually they will and there is a lot of issues with that in terms of battery life and you know security and other things, but more importantly, HTML5 is starting to emerge. >Mossberg: but you know that there will be right? But sometimes you just have to pick the things that look like they’re gonna be the right horses to ride going forward and flash looks like a technology that had its day but is really on is waning and HTML5 looks like the technology that’s really on the ascendancy right now and to incorporate flash into systems is a lot of work there’s not smartphone shipping with flash on it now as you know. >Mossberg interrupts: or at least premature maybe. And sometimes when we get rid of things like the floppy disk drive on the original iMac people call us crazy. And so we have gotten rid of things, we were one of the first to get rid of optical drives with a MacBook Air, I think things are moving in that direction as well.

We also got rid of these things called serial and parallel ports and we were the first to adopt USB, even though Intel had invented it. Steve: We were the first to do that we made the 3.5 floppy disk this popular, Sony invented it and we put it in the first products, and there some good reasons we did that, we got rid of the floppy disk altogether in 1998, with the first iMac. As an example, we went from the 5 inch floppy disk the 3.5 inch floppy disk with the Mac. So we try to pick things that are in there Springs and if you choose wisely you can save yourself an enormous amount of work versus trying to do everything and you can really put energy into making those new emerging technologies be great on your platform rather than just okay because you’re spreading yourself too thin. They have their Springs and summers and autumns and then they you know go to the graveyard of technology. We try to look for these technical vectors that have a future and that are headed up and you technology.different pieces of technology go in cycles. Steve: Apple is a company that doesn’t have the most resources of everybody in the world and the way we’ve succeeded is by choosing what horses to ride carefully technically. ">Mossberg: you published thoughts on flash, is it fair to be abrupt? He answered Mossberg and Swisher here at 2:00 on why he wrote Thoughts on Flash. "whining?" Steve Jobs didn't whine.He built the greatest products in our digital era. >Is he really whining about something being closed and proprietary? Can't fucking believe it.
