No. I don't care about Flash any more than I care about Java or HTML.
But that Apple is lying is a fact.
Apple purposefully faked web pages, such as portions of the NYT site, to hide the fact that the iPad cannot display all of the content.
Apple has done this in the past. Two years ago, the
Advertising Standards Authority in England ruled that Apple's iPhone ads were deceitful, and puled them off the air. For exactly the same reason - Apple pretended that the iPhone can view Flash pages.
I guess Apple figures they can lie, get the sales, then most purchasers will not bother to return the product, and Apple will pay whatever the small fine for false advertising is.
As to all the "Flash crashes my Mac," perhaps people should fix their computers. Most of the world doesn't have such issues.
As to the digital vs. print thing - it's not a philosophical question, but a marketing and demand one.
