Of course, for the big one coming out, Toy Story 3, the Pixar home page to TS 3's own site, which is, unsurprisingly, in Flash.

I am not understanding this argument. I get it that you are happy for some reason that the iPad does not support one of the most common features on the web.

But why do you have to shout down everyone, who wishes that Apple had at least attempted to provide a real browser for its customers, instead of walling off choices and competition? I suppose you did the same when people were asking for Cut&Paste, or Search, or GPS, or MMS, or LED flash on the iPhone?

I also suppose you supported Steve Jobs when he declared, not so long ago, that nobody reads anymore?

Enjoy your iPad. But chill a little, and let those who wished it did other things have a say.
