- Apple, Google, Microsoft, Linux are all slowly/clearly moving away from Flash. anyone who is not concerned is naive or delusional. #
- @ElliotXtreme – youtube = google. in reply to ElliotXtreme #
- @photonstorm i have a feeling google is doing something with html5 for the vid delivery part. web apps/ria are going to javascript. #
- Even with games – Flash is losing developers to unity and even more with xcode now that its for 3 hot devices (iphone/ipod/ipad) #
- @ElliotXtreme Google is pro javascript from the start, i think they knew then that a closed proprietary technology has more cons than pros in reply to ElliotXtreme #
- @rosedragoness javascript is not java. in reply to rosedragoness #
- i love flash. i am just concerned how adobe is handling the onslaught. save for facebook games every front is eroding. #
- @ElliotXtreme wait a minute. you want flash to disappear, go open source or be made better? in reply to ElliotXtreme #

- just downloaded some tank tracks sound effect from soundsnap. i love that site. #
- @JeffWeber i think given the history of MS and the stake with .net, MS is going after Flash's neck. any semblance of diplomacy is short-term in reply to JeffWeber #
- is it sensible to have two versions of the flash player/vm? proprietary and open-sourced? i bet that would put flash into more devices. #
- my top 3 iphone games right now are mini-squadron, bejeweled blitz, and crush the castle. #
- @ElliotXtreme got ya. flash never had that snappy feel to it. in reply to ElliotXtreme #
- RT @TechCrunch: iPad v. A Rock http://bit.ly/aCl1VM #
- nope! still think the iPad is a horrible name.. #
- wonders how many days/weeks/months till i get used to the iPad name. #
- Youtube WILL drop Flash in the next 2 years: case in point http://jilion.com/sublime/video – a very good starting point for html5 video. #
- @MattRix i know. the point was its being improved rapidly by lots of people because its opensource. ever1 says youtube is just experimenting in reply to MattRix #
- @GenoBaby thats not an impossible task to solve, google has solved much much more difficult problems. in reply to GenoBaby #
- @MattRix Apple problem is 1/2 cpu/battery usage & crashes. problems 5 years & counting. if open sourced flash would be better 4 it. in reply to MattRix #
- @MattRix Apple has pulled out Flash out of safari and have publicly stated that most of their support tickets are caused by flash. in reply to MattRix #
- @MattRix but i think apple wanted adobe to fix it a long time ago (pre iphone) and just blocked them off out of spite. but what do i know in reply to MattRix #
- the other 1/2 of why apple dont want flash on their devices are games, and video/mp3 streaming. it will undermine their stores. #
- but kinda silly since its on hardware they are getting their margins. makes you think that its their content partners who want flash out. #
- @scobleizer on Flash http://scobleizer.com/2010/01/30/can-flash-be-saved/ #
- my speculation on apple vs adobe was right on the money if this report is to be believed. http://tinyurl.com/y8tlwe8 #
