... and that it takes all of Adobe and their bosom buddy Microsoft with it ...
Oh yeah, and while we're at it, it should take its other bosom buddy apple along.
Your rant is justified, but apple has become as bad, arrogant, selfish, greedy, etc. as adobe, ms, the riaa, the mpaa, the wipo, or who else.
Flash sucks orc balls - but that's no reason to fuck off users by patronising them about flash support. If they want it, they should have it. If they don't, they can have it turned off. By not providing ANY fucking means to use it (save except maybe for a half-working gnash port for jailbreakers), apple fucks users harder into the posterior than adobe by publishing a completely fucked up "rich content platform".
Just wanted to get that off my heart. I've always hated adobe for their overpriced "standard" software that "everyone uses" (yes i mean fucking photoshop). And now I hate apple even more than adobe and microsoft together. the flash issue is just the tip of the pile of shit.
