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.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.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.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.
