    Finally the light at the end of the tunnel

    I've noticed in the last week or two (oddly since the Olympics) that many fewer videos on the BBC site demand flash on a desktop. iPlayer hasn't for a year, mobiles have non-flash videos but for some reason the news site was acting all stubborn on desktop.

    My quick straw poll of a couple of news sites shows that they have finally moved off Flash. I imagine there'll still be a few pages that hold out but this was the reason for most consternation.

    Dare I say that I think Flash is finally dying, after years of infections and false alarms.
