Google mocks Steve Jobs with Chrome-Flash merger

What post was that?

If you post as anonymous, then it's impossible to be sure which comment you're refering to.

I assume all I have to do is look for regurgitated reposted Cupertino PR.

"Good. Now go back and read the BAZILLION comments about how much Flash sucks on OS X".

Don't beleive everything they tell you. How ever many bazillion posts you read. Maybe you're talking about the IDE not the player. Or maybe you're using a PPC? Get an intel mac, flash player runs fine. Thanks.

Oh and if your mac is running slow then perhaps you could by a zeon. It sounds like your browser is crashing a lot. Funny those same pages don't crash on windows. Blame flash, yeah that makes sense...

Why is Steve "The Man"?

He keeps ripping you off, selling you overpriced software and hardware.

I use Macs, it's the industry standard in my profession and I have always loved apple computers. I used the the first Mac Classic that was imported to the UK when I was a nipper and I was hooked.

But Apple has gone off, and it doesn't taste like cider either. Jobs should move on and go and enjoy all the cash he's taken from us.

Infant Standard

Cupertino are being disingenuous about the flaws of flash player and their premature adoption of an unformed and immature standard, HTML5.

One day HTML5 may be able to do all of the lovely things that flash does so well for us. Primarily allowing us to develop applications and content across platforms and channels without massive development costs of deploying those applications in completely different languages for multitple operating systems and devices

Right now it's just a standard it has only been partly adopted, by some apple browsers. It's not fully supported because it's not fully defined. http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/

This is because of disagreement between the major stakeholders in deciding, for example, what video standard should be used in HTML5, guess what Apple want to use H264. So basically HTML5 just isn't ready yet.

Jobs is behaving like a spoilt child, he wants the shiny spaceship in the toy store, yet he wants one life size and fully functioning. It just doesn't exist. At the same time his tantrums are impeding the build of the spaceship.

Adobe have made serious errors with Flash, primarily releasing updates with security holes, memory leaks etc but Apple have also. It's the world we live in. Jobs doesn't seem to able to accept that. If Jobs would allow flash into the iPhone and iPad developing applications would become even cheaper and easier for everyone. Even Apple.

Ho hum.

Get your coat - sorry couldn't resist that one. Your post is perfectly intelligent.

AS3 code is compiled into a SWF as text. Easy to retrieve. AS2 is hex but there's a Chinese decompiler for that.
