On Wall Street Journal Adobe’s CEO Shantanu Narayen yesterday nite answered to Steve Jobs latest attack. Jobs had released an open letter yesterday morning. The bottom line of Jobs’ letter is:

• Adobe Flash is something from the past, as it is not open,
• it is not energy efficient and
• it does not unleash the full powers the individual platforms (meaning: the full power of Apple’s iPhone or iPad).

Narayan responded in the WSJ.com interview, that

• It’s got nothing to do with technology, but with control.
• Apple wants to maintain control on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch platforms.
• he wonders if Flash is one of the most reasons for crashing a Mac, it’s also got much to do with the operating system
• if hardware acceleration is provided from the operating system, playing Flash takes a lot lesser energy than on a Mac.
• Flash is an open specification

Well, well, that love is not over. We wonder how far we’re away from the point when Adobe decides to stop developing for the Apple platform? Would Apple even care? Or would they just tell thousands of designers to switch to GIMP?

We hope you don’t mind, we embed the whole WSJ.com interview as Adobe Flash ;-)
