New Adobe Ads Call Apple Authoritarian

Adobe just debuted what Engadget is describing as "a pretty full-force campaign to call out Apple on its anti-Flash mission." The ads -- which happen to be running on Engadget, among other sites -- first declare: "We [heart] Apple," then add: "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." Oh, no they didn't!

Along with the Web ads, the company has also ran a full page in Thursday's Washington Post to address "the battle in which the two companies have been engaged," Engadget writes. The launch of the campaign coincides with a new statement from Adobe, and an open letter from founders Chuck Geschke and John Warnock ("Our thoughts on open markets"), which addresses Apple's recent attacks against the company and its products. "We believe that consumers should be able to freely access their favorite content and applications, regardless of what computer they have, what browser they like, or what device suits their needs," the letter reads. "No company -- no matter how big or how creative -- should dictate what you can create, how you create it, or what you can experience on the web."
