Jobs on Flash: Hypocrisy So Thick You Could Cut it with a Knife
I wish I knew why the concept of hypocrisy is so difficult to grasp that people are prone to apply it incorrectly.  Maybe people just don't understand when someone is making a moral statement, and when someone isn't.<p>The claim here appears to be that since Apple ships Windows apps that don't use that platform to its fullest, Jobs cannot claim that least-common-denominator middleware is unhealthy for a platform.<p>That makes no sense.   I could see how it would be hypocrisy if Microsoft forbade middleware and Apple complained about whether or not it was right for Microsoft to do so.<p>But it is not hypocrisy to enforce different rules for your own platform product than those for a competitors.  There are no moral claims involved here.
