Apple, Adobe and Flash
“Like the Ministry of Truth, it appears that Apple is deliberately attempting to usurp the meaning of the word Flash in the computing industry and redefine it.”
Didn’t Macromedia/Adobe usurp the meaning of the word Flash first? Flash the software has been around since 1996. Flash memory has been around since the early 1980s. Why is Apple suddenly the one “usurping the meaning of a term” for using flash memory to describe the technology that they are using in their products? This isn’t even a case where the term has fallen out of common usage.
