Will Adobe wreck EchoSign?

Will Adobe wreck EchoSign?

By Phil Wainewright on July 18, 2011

Congratulations to the team at EchoSign on the company’s acquisition by Adobe (see also Techmeme coverage). I’m sorry to say, though, that if Adobe’s previous SaaS acquisitions are anything to go by, today’s news is likely to be less of a cause for celebration than commiseration with EchoSign’s users and fans over the next few […]

Why Adobe is Losing the Hearts and Minds of Developers

Why Adobe is Losing the Hearts and Minds of Developers

By Bob Warfield on July 13, 2011

I’m annoyed today.  That’s my problem not yours, but hopefully you will at least find my story interesting, amusing, or perhaps a cautionary tale depending on the business you’re in.  If not, there’s a lot else happening on the Internet, most of it probably more interesting.  If you like a good rant, read on… It’s […]

Android is so Open, it got Flash Back on the iPhone

By Bob Warfield on September 9, 2010

How ironic.  On the same day that MG Seigler was penning one of his characteristically snarky posts (snark is one of the ways Techcrunch pursues its Follower Economy) about how Android isn’t really open, Apple announces the return of Flash to the iWorld. Adobe’s stock price is cooking this morning as a result (I wonder […]

Android: The Long Term Bet

By Bob Warfield on June 24, 2010

Is the iPhone a Monopoly or Not?

Is the iPhone a Monopoly or Not?

By Bob Warfield on May 4, 2010

In the Flash Wars between Apple and Adobe, many commentators have said that there is no anti-trust case because iPhone only has a 25% share.  Larry Dignan has written along those lines, for example.   Yet, I have to ask, a 25% share of what?  What is this market definition that they only have 25% of?  […]

Microsoft: Back In The Mix. Developers, Developers, Developers Reprised

Microsoft: Back In The Mix. Developers, Developers, Developers Reprised

By James Governor on March 26, 2010

When you attend a conference there is always a danger of going native, enjoying the Cool-Aid a little too much, so it pays to give it a couple of days before commenting. I wasn’t able to make Microsoft MIX this time around but I did follow it on the web. Unless I am much mistaken, […]
