Gruber tells the Adobe Macromedia acquisition like it is

John Gruber does a brilliant job on his Daring Fireball blog of translating Adobe's marketing speak in their press release answering questions about the acquisition of Macromedia.

This line particularly rang true to me, where he describes PDF and Flash as

the two leading technologies that irritate people when they’re used in lieu of regular web pages.

I feel exactly that way.

And while we're at it, how about people who make me open a Word attachment just to read a few lines of plain text?
