I <3 you.

There is so much flash content out there on the web, and being able to play flash content on-the-move, on-demand is obviously a good thing.
I dont think Adobe actively bans commercial projects/products from using Straus. Stratus is in beta, and Adobe doesnt provide any official support. So if you want to run a business that uses RTMFP with Adobe support, then LCCS (LiveCycle Collaboration Services) is the way to go.
While you have the right to justify the lack of semantic markup in Scribd html docs, he has the right to expect a non-messy markup underneath.
Calling someone's expectation "ignorance" isnt very fair.
Scribd uses 'pdf2swf' from swftools.org to convert pdfs(Not sure if they still use it. ref: http://www.swftools.org/references.html )
Scaleform depends heavily on Flash[scaleform.com]. Ming library is a nice option to create dynamic swf files on server side[libming.org].
A nice little online editor and compiler can be found here: http://www.victordramba.com/?p=31
Although there are so many nice, robust open source tools built around Flash, i haven't heard of Adobe actively promoting any of them.
That statement is wrong. Anyone can create tools that can 'create' and/or 'run' swf files. Adobe itself provides Flex SDK cost free. It is an opensourced framework.
http://osflash.org/projects has a list of opensource tools available to create flash content.

Upvoting==This story deserves to be popular.
Looks like a badly timed choppy slideshow even after 3rd load. The preloader looked very nice.
Speechless!
Learn to use Flash, Adobe.
But there is a developer fee, which obviously go towards approval/rejection of submitted apps. Apple's existing app approval process is more than enough to not let in crappy apps.The fee will cover extra cost arising from influx of new developers.

See http://www.openscreenproject.org/about/faq.html to see how much Adobe has opened up since.
Also, it is worth noting that Adobe has never gone after these open source swf player projects.While i agree that Adobe is not as open as it should be, i dont see any reason not to appreciate a good gesture from a powerful company.
As many other commenters pointed out here, theflashblog.com is not an official Adobe blog.This is definitely not "Adobe's reaction" as the title suggests.
A lot of comments in Adobe vs Apple stories seem to overestimate Apple's say over internet. India is #2 in total wireless mobile connections and #4 in internet usage .Still,Apple has sold less than 4000 iphone 3G in the country.3GS was released just a week or so back in the country.
Iphone ,ipad and ipodtouch still constitute a very small percentage of global internet accessing devices. Although Apple is The-Autonomous-Authority that runs the appstore/itunes econosphere, their say over internet users/developers worldwide is infact , negligible . Local internet portals in developing economies wont have any reason to port their existing content to an iAccessible format(particularly, existing flash games).I personally dont think Apple policies can kill Flash any time soon. Apart from this, HTML5 implementation is far from cross-browser compatible as of now( File API implementation ). Flash is going to be around for a long time.
