Steve Jobs rips into Google and Adobe, mentions next iPhone ‘update’
If there’s one thing we like about Steve Jobs, it’s that he isn’t afraid to go on the record to say how Apple is better than competitors like Google and disappointing tech companies Adobe. We can’t say we like his sense of style (or lack thereof), but Mr. Jobs probably doesn’t care what we think…
