As for Adobe, you’d think that a company with the literal industry standards for drawing and image editing would tighten belts, and return their focus to core competencies, but I guess not. What a shame.
I don't know what it is about Adobe's culture, but it seems like they try and fix things long after it's clear there is a problem. Flash should never have gotten as bad as it did, and it seems like they didn't have a long term strategy for some of their products. It's a weird company. They are extremely lucky that other companies haven't come along and hurt their market share too much.

I wish my Adobe programs would stay updated so I wouldn’t have to do it on a daily basis.

Never did much care for the term human “resources”.
Things run smoother, although not without problems, in places that have personnel departments or small firms that just have partnerships amongst employees.

It seems that is a common complaint - I always refuse to update

Apparently, Adobe is throwing in the towel on mobile Flash. Conceding that Steve Jobs was right.
They’re going to work on HTML5 tools.

I do not, I am in the energy management sector.
