News of the interesting adventures of Steve Jobs and his curious way of doing things at Apple never ceases to reach us, this time Kevin Lynch is the protagonist, who It was part of a company that Steve Jobs harshly criticized during that year 2010, precisely Adobe. As many of you know, back in 2010, Apple led by Steve Jobs, began a demolition campaign against Adobe Flash technology, leaving this popular web technology out of its Mac OS and iOS systems. In fact, few understood Steve Jobs's criticisms at the time, although time has ended proving him right.
And so it was, Apple ended up hiring Kevin Lynch in 2013, as Vice President of Technology, from the hands of a project that would later be known as Apple Watch, nothing more and nothing less. Tim's move was thought by many to be weird, hiring a person whom Steve Jobs had practically already sunk. But It was a common technique in Jobs, who already tried to belittle John Sculley the day he asked her if she wanted to sell sugar water her whole life. Since then, Kevin Lynch has enjoyed a lot of prominence in the company, with his minutes during each Keynote, how could it be less, demonstrating the Apple Watch.
While it seems that that was not the whole story, Jobs tried several times to recruit the CTO of Adobe during 2010, as he confirmed during a commencement speech at the University of Illinois. This has only confirmed many rumors that swarm the network since that time, since for many Steve Jobs' strategy was clear, destroy Flash and bring Kevin Lynch when he had no where to work, however, It seems that Kevin was more convinced by the Tim Cook project.
