Hint: get your facts right otherwise you just look stupid, the XBox division has been turning a profit for years. In fact the year to June 08 netted almost 1/2 a billion dollars in profit for that year alone and has been turning a healthy profit ever since. So yes it *is* a phenomenal success.

Recent profit yes: But $10B loss + $4B profit still leaves them $6B in the hole...

She voted for the healthcare bill despite knowing that 67% of her constituents opposed it. She's no "representative." Just a political whackjob

...and yet she was reelected by those same constituents, so apparently they think she represented them well enough.

Flash runs well on Windows. I'm just going to assume that many of the people here don't use Macs so don't really understand how poorly flash runs on OS X.

This is a typical flash game on facebook (a typical use-case for an iPhone/iPad user if flash was available) . That's 70% of CPU for a single flash instance.

Software companies generally follow the installed base. When their internal marketing tells them that existing linux users won't shell out for their software, what makes you think they're going to sink development money into the hope that if they build a linux version, mac customers are going to get a linux machine? Adobe is a public corporation, and they have to answer to their shareholders. How are they going to explain that they're dropping 40% of their revenue because they're pissed at Apple?
