Que el iPhone no soporta flash no es nada nuevo. Lo nuevo es el mensaje que les presentamos en la imagen anterior. Anteriormente, veíamos mensajes como: “actualiza tu navegador y tu plug-in de flash”, pero ahora si visitas la página de Adobe desde tu iPhone, te aparecerá este mensaje que reza:

Reproductor de Flash no disponible para tu iPhone:

Apple restringe el uso de tecnologías requeridas por productos como el Reproductor Flash. Hasta que Apple elimine esas restricciones, Adobe no puede proveer el Reproductor Flash para iPhone o iPod Touch.

Esa fue una traducción textual. El buen lenguaje esto sería:

Escucha, te gustaría tener Flash pero no puedes tenerlo, al menos no en este dispositivo. ¿Porqué?. No nos culpes. Ciertamente se puede habilitar flash en este equipo pero Apple RESTRINGE la tecnología necesitada para hacer que esto pase. Y hasta que Apple no cambie su política no estás de suerte. En serio, QUEREMOS darte Flash. Sería un placer para nosotros darte Flash. Estamos LISTOS para DARTE FLASH. En serio. Pero Apple no nos deja. Adobe-Bueno. Apple-Malo.

Bueno, el mensaje que les habíamos presentado puede ser viejo, pero ya que lo vimos por ahí…

Last Thursday, Microsoft attempted to erase all of the bad memories left by Windows Vista wit the launch of perhaps the most anticipated operating system software yet: Windows 7. The new OS promises to be faster, sleeker, and more intuitive than its predecessor.

Microsoft’s computing and OS rival didn’t take the Windows 7 hype sitting down, though. Apple launched a new wave of Get a Mac Ads painting Microsoft’s Windows flagship as an evolution of problems not worth enduring. Now with both sides at war once again, we thought it was appropriate to dedicate this week’s Web Faceoff to the long-standing Microsoft vs. Apple battle.

This week’s competitors are none other than Microsoft Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6. One is the newest edition of the PC OS, while the other is the standard bearer OS for all Apple computers. Which one emerges the victor…well, we’ll let you decide the outcome in the poll below.

Remember: you have until 12:00 PM PT on Friday to cast your ballot. After that, we’ll tally up the votes and declare a victor. And as always, don’t forget to justify your vote in the comments.

Apple’s “I’m a PC” and “I’m a Mac” dynamic ad duo are at it again in three new “Get a Mac” commercials that take direct aim at today’s Windows 7 launch.

In “Broken Promises,” PC Guy flashes back to Windows editions over the years (with fashion or lack thereof to match), each promising not to have “any of the problems my last operating system had.” The ad ends with the line “this time it’s gonna be different. Trust me.” Ouch, Apple!

Check out the aforementioned ad embedded below, and the other two ads over at Apple. The latter pair both feature Windows users eagerly getting ready to make the switch — not to Windows 7, but to a Mac.

What do you think, are the ads effective, or has Apple gone too far with this one?
