Sorry for another flash thread. But this can not be good.

actually, relevant post:
"With Flash ads consuming as much as 33 percent of the MacBook Air's battery potential, it's no wonder why Apple has demonstrated no interest in getting a version of Flash installed on its iPad"
the truth is winning

The web is going to get so boring.

The appropriate response to this thread is: So what?
Worst case scenario, user installs Flash Player to view content. The fact is, not everyone bundles Flash to start with, so why should Apple be expected to? It's shitty anyway.

The interwebs needs more Wordpress themes, blogs and cookie cutter websites so that it moves more faster and looks more gooder.
For a better tomorrow...
- why does the lack of a browser plugin = themes and cookie cutter design?inteliboy
- because they do.. because of serious limitations in how you can create layouts in HTML, they all look freakin' same.. changing a few images and background doesn't scream creativity.Boz

what a shocker.. interactive content and video uses more battery?
Holy shit.. let's go and just have sites with text and some images so the battery can last 100 hours.
In seriousness, not that I give a shit anymore (Mac users can do whatever the hell they want with their computers - have Flash, don't have Flash - Steve Jobs will decide for you), this test was so hilarious it's not even funny.. not only they didn't test it properly (like using similar content that isn't ran by Flash and comparing), the reason Mac users should ask why it's only their platform these things happen on.
What's so annoying is that these articles always are written by someone with an agenda... and they are first reported by the loudest shitheads in Apple world.

It's an old story. As technology becomes more widespread via smartphones and tablets, the overall quality will decrease.
Flash, which is entirely dependent on processor power, will naturally not be able to deliver what it did on dedicated dual core processors. Smartphones and tablets wont be able to deliver that speed. So yeah, all those interesting interactive flash things that people did will be gone and it will take years for smartphones to get as fast as what dedicated computers can do today.
It's just the reality of it. More usage, lower quality.
Look at video. It used to be that people worked super hard to make pretty video at the highest possible quality and in their view, the quality would get higher and higher. In some ways this is true, but only if you want a limited audience.
What actually happened is that video became more widespread than anyone could have imagined, but much of the quality would horrify the people that care about those images.
Now, with basic resolution to be whatever a smartphone can deliver, it again will become even more widespread but with, for the most part, low quality.
There must be a maxim about this somebody made up, because it has been happening for decades.
- This is a good point...there is a "gap" in support that will occur for many years...ukit
- Paradoxically providing the space for alternatives to Flash to get their foot in the doorukit
- Major interactive things in Flash I do right now when I make iPhone/Android apps and it runs great..Boz
- By next year, we will have completely full DirectX, OpenGL, Open GL ES2, fully hardware accelerated Flash runtime (for AIR and Flash Player) with full low level 3D api..Boz
- runtime (for AIR and Flash Player) with full low level 3D api.. You won't be using HTML5 properly by at least 2012 and it's already ancient.Boz
- it's already ancient. If you missed the latest developments Flash/AIR is EVERYWHERE.. Android, Blackberry, WP7, tvs etc etc..Boz
- But I guess it doesn't matter to you ukit.. you uinstalled it.. good luck with all that.Boz
- I was kidding. Sheesh. I am considering click to Flash though.ukit

Quality of flash has nothing to do with it being mainstream..
Video is such a stupid example.. I'm sorry..
The reason quality fo the video goes down is BANDWITH.. it has nothing to do with it becoming mainstream.
Again, Flash saw significant improvement to performance. The reason it always sucked on Mac is because of Apple and OSX and not because it was mainstream.
On PC, Flash player always worked extremely well and why it was so widely adopted. Over the course of time it added so many things, hardware acceleration, optimizations to the display model etc etc..
