今日科技速递：Adobe裁员谋求战略大重组

    *Adobe开始重组，并在北美和欧洲裁掉了750名员工。同时有消息人士对IT资讯网站ZDNet透露，该公司正在中止用于移动浏览器的Flash Player的研发，转而把精力集中在移动应用、桌面内容和HTML5上。关于HTML5的部分如果属实，可能会让某些“果粉”奔走相告，因为乔布斯早在2010年四月就曾经发表过一篇非常著名的备忘录——《我对Flash的几点思考》（Thoughts on Flash）。在这份备忘录中，乔布斯批评了Flash的可靠性、安全性和性能。【科技博客（TechCrunch）、IT资讯网站ZDNet、苹果公司（Apple）】
