Adobe thinks closed formats are a good fit for an open government?

, , , , ,

Adobe is pushing for Flash to be used in U.S. Open Government initiatives. How proprietary, closed and inaccessible is supposed to be combined with "open", I don't know. I do know that the government should definitely not be promoting closed, proprietary, inaccessible, insecure and harmful technologies.

Twitter?Does Adobe think we are stupid?

... and single vendor.

Another interesting link:

Funny that they, again, call it open, being closed, proprietary, and single vendor.

Adobe's Open Screen Project is an insult to the word "open".

Have Adobe heard about Section 508? Is this a joke?
BTW, Section 508 plug-in requirements also a joke.
