Adobe is running a full page ad in today's Marketplace section of The Wall Street Journal that ups the ante in its battle with Apple over Flash.

While the attention-grabbing headline reads "We Love Apple," the final point the ad makes is "What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web."

Take that Steve "My Way or the Highway" Jobs!

The members of my family immediately gravitated to the new shiny thing -- no prompting, no encouragement, no migration, etc.  They are drawn to it like a moth to flame.

Even more revealing is this statement:

I don't think I'll be buying any more desktops going forward.  I don't think I'll even be buying any more laptops going forward.

They've all been largely obsoleted (at least at my home) by a sleek $499 device that doesn't really have any right to be called a "computer" in the traditional sense.
