Ironic Week in Review

Dig that hole a little deeper,
these guys are...

This week there were two topics of interest that I thought were kind of funny or ironic.  So here we are, The 'Ironic Week in Review'.

First topic:
Isn't it kind of ironic that almost immediately after announcing no more mobile Flash.  Adobe goes and rolls out an update for Flash on Android devices?  I know they said they wouldn't drop support for updates (just support for further versions of Flash on mobile plateforms).  But still, it's almost as if Adobe decided they needed to prove to the public that they still have the ability to update it.

Or maybe they needed to save face with all of those people who let "Flash Support" sway their purchasing decisions when it comes to consumer electronics?


Second topic:
It's official Ashton Kutcher is a "Qwitter" or a "Twitter-Quitter".  It appears as though Mr. Kutcher tweeted about the Penn State Abuse Scandal without being fully informed (at all, whatsoever; it's only made national headlines seriously?!).  And it struck a cord with the general public since he has something close to 8 million Twitter followers (which equates to a countries population right?).  In his defense he did publicly issue an apology on his blog.  Enough said right?  Nope, he the proceeded to hand his Twitter account over his "team" at Katalyst Media "to ensure the quality of it's content".  Isn't Twitter like Microblogging or the ability to randomly update stuff wherever you are at?  Maybe the way to ensure "quality content" is to stay informed of what you are tweeting about?

Why is this turn over ironic?  Well you can thank Mr. Kutcher for Twitter being what it is today (or at least lending a hand).  Remember in Twitter's earlier days when Kutcher was in a "follow war" with a couple other celebrities and his account seemed to just take off?  I don't know it just seemed ironic that for someone who started Twitter so strong and now because of some controversy decides to bail and let some PR rep take over?  That's Hollywood for you.

At second glance, maybe "Two & A Half Men" is rubbing off on him.  Maybe he decided to bail before the "trolls" come after him?  (another joke in bad taste I know- #jokefail).
