IT SEEMS THE INQUIRER is in good company in thinking Google's not as friendly as it tries to appear, as Apple CEO Steve Jobs has also noticed.

Jobs was discussing all things Apple flavoured at a company town hall meeting at One Infinite Loop in Cupertino. Reports by Macrumors and Wired quote Jobs as saying that Google's "Don't be evil" mantra is "bullshit".

It appears Google and Apple's relationship has gotten rocky, with Google recently circumventing Apple's Iphone App Store by providing Google Voice via Safari's HTML5 support. Not content with blasting Google, Saint Jobs also lambasted Adobe for being "lazy", said that Apple doesn't support Flash because "it's so buggy" and alleged that the bulk of Mac crashes come from Flash.

There was some good news that came out of the meeting for the Apple faithful though. Jobs said that the next version of the Iphone will be an "A+" upgrade and that new 2010 Macs will be substantial upgrades on the current shipping models, bringing Apple up to the "next level".

Considering the rumours discussing support of video conferencing in the most recent Iphone SDK, we wouldn't be surprised to find a front-facing camera in the next Iphone, along with all the other goodies found in the current 3GS.

Many have criticised Apple's recent press event because it had featured neither Iphone nor Mac refreshes. Unfortunately it doesn't seem Blu-ray will be featured in the new Macs - Jobs was quoted as saying that "Blu-ray software is a mess" and would not be supported by Apple anytime soon.
