After taking a look at Zeldman's article, it just reinforces how dumb this whole argument is...tons of contradictions and inaccuracies when thinking outside the "developer's bubble".
Joe Public couldn't give a fuck if a site uses HTML5, Javascript or Flash, as long as it works. IMHO, Flash is so ubiquitous that the whole plugin debate is pretty silly. How many Browsers out there that take almost 100% of the market? Bugger all so a lot of the "standards movement" kind of reminds me of the climate change debate...there's some truth but it's mired in so much politically correct bullshit.
- lol, but browsers all together are more ubiquitous than flash, and they run on macs and netbooks. Flash essentially doesn't.Pupsipu
- doesn't. It's not for mac lol. For all it's ubiquity if it runs like shit for 10% of users, what's the point?
Pupsipu - What's the LOL for? Flash is more ubiquitous than the Mac OS so what's your point?BusterBoy
- and browsers are on windows AND macs. And they run consistently on both.Pupsipu
- the LOL is for you trying to equate Flash to an individual browser, that's misleading.Pupsipu
- individual browsers don't need to have 100% penetration, all together they have 100% penetration. While Flash is essentially 90%, not for mac.Pupsipu
- essentially 90%, not for Mac.Pupsipu
- Flash is 98%. And there are hardly any browser issues there. Flash reaches people more reliably for the foreseeable future.CyBrain
