    While I have no personal interest in ever getting back into flash myself I wouldn't mine a re-emergence to rekindle the spirit of creativity and imagination - which from my perspective is what made it a great tool to begin with.

    Of course the plugin runtime would need to be redesigned to not allow system resource takeover - which was, in my mind, it's only real issue.

    But, I guess we're deep into the age of the utilitarian web so it might be a while..

    • no plug-ins for the internet thanks. Adobe shouldn't have that kind of control.inteliboy
    • control? what does that mean?SteveJobs
    • if they had control they'd still be around.

    • won't happen. HTML is way more flexible than flash for mobile devices. Hence, it will never garner enough steam to compete as serious platform.hotroddy
    • you're right it won't happen. but not for that specific reason. adobe just won't put any effort into flash again. which i agree with as a business decision.SteveJobs
    • anyway, i was just saying i wouldn't mind it - i don't necessarily want it.SteveJobs
    • you killed Flash Steveernexbcn
    • You don't allow or not allow system resource takeover, it's the plugin as a whole that sucksi_was
