Well, I was going to post a link to a story at Wired about Jobs' dissing Flash and Google in one swell foop--but the url has a censored word in it, and so . . . look for it yourselves, I guess.

Thanks.

Good article BTW, go Steve-o.

LOL

Almost don't need to read the article , just read the url .

Well, that's cool. Candid, honest - Religious holy war. Silly.

Jobs has an ally in netbooks, though. They should be the real Flash killer. Back on Pandora, Poly said that netbooks did $11B last year. Pretty huge stealth figure. That stuff's not going away, as the web-thin-client is probably going to stomp terra. A lot of stuff has changed since the first thin client malarkey (and actually they're pretty big in big business), a myriad of technological evolution/revolution, consumer behavior, social patterns, etc, as well as the obvious stuff like the Cloud, virtually native virtualization, multi-processor supercomputing-parallel/grid computing, 48-core processors, cheap high speed broadband/100Mbps-1Gbps 4G, etc, etc.

And really, it's in line with the Jetson stuff everybody always thought this stuff should be like, and also the matriculation of data from the desktop to the Cloud is the way it should be, with tons of data available, accessible, mashable, rehashable into startling new stuff, etc, and really with better permanence than squirreled away and eventually orphaned on some desktop.

Plus it's cool and fun

But, the killer for Adobe is that even a dual-core Atom with Nvidia's Ion chokes on Flash. So, that's a gargantuan number of pissed people about their content and user experience. Then the sh!t starts rolling downhill from content providers, web producers, bloggers, etc, etc to developers, then developers abandon Flash in a flash . I don't know if they've connected the dots about this stuff yet, but when they do, Flash is dead unless they do some magical overhaul.

I read some where thats not gonna happen for maybe 20 years or so ? if that

Flash is so intrenched and HTML5 is so new , sorta thingy

I bet within 5 years.

Could be but 95% of web content is Flash that works over HTML web

Simply , ahh developers who are using Flash are not gonna switch anytime soon and HTML5 is not close to even developing streaming video , still working on it .

Maybe when HTML5 get it worked out , then maybe you will see a switched ? - I bet it will take 2 generations of programers before that really happens

Ummm, embedded streaming video is a keystone of HTML5. YouTube is already doing some and Firefox already supports it natively. The transition will be swift.
