This is where we call out by names the actions and companies that seem odd, out of touch or just plain straight up smokin crack.  Technology is an odd realm where PR speak doesn’t hold a lot of water if the 1s and 0s don’t line up.  This week sees posturing, positioning and flat out insanity.  Here is what caught my eye this week:

Adobe.  The iPhone-Flash obsession is interesting and all but you end up looking like that kid in high school that was crushing on the cheerleader.  The cheerleader doesn’t know you exist.  Carrying this infatuation out over the press by leaks and statements rather than, you know phoning (or texting for you kids out there) the cheerleader.  Where I come from, “no means no”.  Sorry Adobe, hey if I were you I’d keep fighting too; but you are still on crack if you think you are just going to wear Steve down.  Why are these high school metaphors so fitting in tech?
