Babble. Babble, babble, babble (plus, it’s a PDF)
John Gruber — Translation From PR-Speak to English of Selected Portions of Adobe’s ‘FAQ’ Regarding Their Acquisition of Macromedia:
Said FAQ is available in convenient PDF format here.
What is the mission of the combined company?
Adobe’s mission remains the same — to help people and businesses communicate better. With the acquisition of Macromedia, Adobe strengthens its mission through the combination of leading-edge development, authoring and collaboration tools — and the complementary functionality of PDF and Flash.
Where by “complementary� we mean “the two leading technologies that irritate people when they’re used in lieu of regular web pages.� Note that we’re using PDF to serve this very FAQ — in our synergistic future, perhaps we’ll serve our FAQs in a hybrid PDF/Flash format. One can dream.
Via Tim Bray’s ongoing.
