yeah, i agree with sherm. i'm getting sick of this too. we've gone back and forth on this issue and debated every point and i'm really not sure who's trying to convince who of what any more.
for those who are anti-flash, are you trying to save the futures of those who have so much vested in the technology already to get them to 'see the light' so hopefully they're not made redundant any longer? do you really care to convince everyone that their plug-in technology is dated, slow, and a resource hog? is it important to remind everyone how apple game them their chance time and again?
for the pro-flash folks, your career's are probably safe, but it wouldn't hurt to learn some html5 for that one glorious day when *all* browsers support it. and let's just get over the fact that apple won't let anyone create apps with anything other than xcode and cocoa. it's their choice to make and their obviously content with it. the language is simple enough to pick up. yeah, you're gonna spend a couple months porting something that you should have just been able to cross-compile, but fuck it - it's jobs security and you've learned a new skillset.
it's just my opinion, but there's still a lot to be seen still from these big corporations and how their decision will sway the industry. in spite of the impressive ipad sales reported (2 million in the last two months i think?) i think it's too early to tell what impact jobs' decision will have on flash, so let's just sit back and chill the fuck out, ok?
- yea mofos act like ipads and iphones etc are dictating whats applicable for the rest of the web. so unilateral...sherm
