Actually he confirmed that the Choice campaign was one of their projects and goes on to say that he doubted that Adobe would have wasted bandwidth on developing something so nefarious. At least that's my read of it.
"For what it's worth, this project was done with a rather rapid turnaround, and I'd be surprised if there was bandwidth to innovate new ways of disrupting popup disruptors within it...."
The rapid turnaround actually makes me suspect Adobe. Are we to believe that somebody else came up with a fancy js/Flash combo exploit, and decided its first use should be a false flag ad for Adobe based on a day or two old campaign? I don't think Occam's razor is kind to Adobe.
You are not taking into account the Apple fanbois that now want Adobe's blood because Flash works so well on Android. Adobe is sticking it to the One True Religion, and the followers aren't happy.
(I'm exaggerating, but you get the idea. I personally hate Flash for technical reasons, but it really comes down to having choice. I don't use Flash and won't develop Flash apps... but you can do whatever you want.)
My experience has been that the Adobe fans are way more up in arms about this than the Apple fans. What does an Apple user hope to gain here? That is very unclear to me. The "true believers" have already put the war behind them; the Adobe warriors are the ones still fighting...
