Don't believe the bullshit you get from Macosrumors.
1. They fixed the nytimes using a photo comp, however you can easily fix these issues if you use a flash detection and use a placement image instead.
2. I picked flash would die a couple years ago. It's only good for advertisements and showcasing video. Other than that, why use flash? it's bulky and cumbersome.
- nice word usage on cumbersome; haven't heard it since Seven Mary Three!ideaist

If html 5 can let me use some other typefaces i'll be sold, and also if it lets me have complete control on how the site is viewed that is also good. I like being able to design a site to scroll sideways or completely ignore accessibility if it is not required.
At the end of the day I think designers need as much of a say in standards as developers.

This may help flash....
it could go back to being a niche application, used where it's good, and not used as a blanket solution to stuff it's totally inappropriate for... like re-inventing the browser features badly....i.e. creating a back button and linkable URLs in a pure-flash site, etc... and/or of course the ads and intros and weirdly confusing user-interfaces some designers cook up, or perfectly kerning type for the anal-retentive print designer who doesn't get the web...
so... niche -> Flash can do some interesting motion graphics, kiosk apps, web games, stand-alone RIA's,etc....

A webmaster who doesn't use Flash is saying:
I have worthwhile content, and I am just going to go ahead and show it to you; right now!

When users see Flash, they think:
the content is probably useless and glitzy
it's likely to be an ad
it's probably not worth waiting for it to download
the webmaster that doesn't give a hoot that 1/2 the visitors never see the content

A plug-in must be installed (and updated every few months)

This link will crash Flash, if your browser sandboxes the player if won't die with it, otherwise it will so click the link only if you don't mind losing whatever tabs you had opened:

itunes is shit

Having to design on 3-4 browsers sucks. Having to be limited to 'standards' sucks. The fact is site likes grooveshark (and every other on demand streaming service which delivers music via flash) will be cutting into APPLE's profits. Job's doesn't want 'free on demand' music delivered on his portable devices. It would devaluate his little precious 'itunes' store where he sells all his licensed goodies to his flock of sheep.
- He could just as easily so okay we'll have flash, Adobe is just going to pay us $1 for every iPhone sold with it.ismith

pretty sure that if Flash wasnt a proprietary technology it would be included in the Iphone.
