I have Flash block installed on my MB and I don't feel I'm using a dumbed down version of websites. The only reason I haven't got rid of the Flash plugin is one website I use for work has flash on a couple pages ![]() |

Flash and Flush
The final answer on Flash for the iPad, courtesy of cartoonist Bill Amend:
http://www.foxtrot.com/2010/03/03212010/ The comic strip as it appears above was pasted into a Mac-Forums post earlier, but in a reduced format. I know some of you have bad eyesight, so I found y'all a bigger image. |

Technically speaking could emulation solve much of this?
Anyways it reminds me of years and years ago they could somewhat put flash on palm pda's...it kinda worked...way way too fast though but I will admit for the screen it looked excellent. |

Emulation would probably work too slowly. Flash is a dangerous scripting language in the hands of an average programmer. And just because it might not crash Internet Explorer, which has "good" error checking, it easily crashes Safari (an Apple browser), at least according to rumors. Rather than dealing with dark matter like the Flash, Apple would rather shift the web to HTML5. The trouble is that Apple's programming staff may not be smart enough to protect Safari against bad HTML5 scripts. The sad state of software in the US is not unique to Apple and Adobe. Once the DoD tried to make the world safe by dictating Ada in their systems. Then bad programmers proved that you could hang Ada. So the world went back to dangerous languages and cpu support packages. Java and Javascript only helped a little.
You should see what it's like to run under WindRiver's operating system, with a real time program. Wind River, wider than a mile (off) with Huckleberry smiles (woof) ... This retail consumer stuff that most of the developers work with is nothing compared to a rtos. |
