I got to play with an ipad in the office today. After seeing it first hand I can't believe we are even having this conversation. This little gadget ain't gonna replace shi#$t.

I think we should talk about print being dead before we talk about flash being dead.
creative circle, buzz co, and all the other staffing agencies I go through in chicago are 80% flash jobs right now.
of course flash is going to die out sometime, but it's not going to be for 5-10 years at least.
moral of the story — don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Nonetheless, the titles of these threads are loads of fun
"Flash - Is It Dead Yet?"
"Flash Is Not Fucking Dead"
"Flash...I'm Worried"

Do you think the media promoted a junk of sh$t for nothing? Pffff

"Why it seems that everywhere we look, we can find an iPad news on this easter ? I was asking myself, since I understand a lot about computers, so I tried to get to know this new Apple product.
What is iPad ?
Well, iPad is the first of these devices that are too big to be a mobile device and too slow to become a good netbook or notebook or even desktop replacement. So why is this device is being called the revolution or "laptop killer" or the future of computing
? In a moment the answer.The reality is that iPad is a product that wont replace your computer, wont replace your netbook and certainly not your laptop. I would recommend you to read this review that explains how it works, the positives and the bads: Engadget iPad Review
So What about it ?
Since its a product that its too expensive, it doesnt offer anything you dont have already at home (Besides the touch interface), it makes you think why it would receive a lot of hype and a lot of media coverage and GOOD REVIEWS.
This product have some great flaws: doesnt offer a cam and a mic to use as a VOIP, doesnt offer an USB port, doesnt offer HDMI, doesnt offer multi-tasking (so you cant work, while researching, loading video, whatever), doesnt support FLASH (something that is presented into the entire web). Besides the price, where you could buy a notebook that would provide you the same and much more (besides touch screen).
But for some reason that its ridiculously weird, almost every review and news dont mention that these flaws WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE in any new computer like device.
So Why the EXTENSIVE Media Coverage ?
Well, for everyone that already used Apple products like Iphone and Ipod Touch, you will notice that you need an App downloaded in their store to be able to experience these products. It tries to centralize everything in their place, so they can accept your app or not.Since the big mainstream media is in decline, they need something to try to save themselves and iPad they think is the answer. Yeah, its a useless product but it provides this concept of centralization of everything. So, the mainstream media is already providing APPs (some that you will have to pay by month) so you can access their content thought it. "

Any concern I had about Flash disappearing went when I used Safari on the iPad for a few minutes. I can't imagine people ever using this as their primary source for internet.
Flash is not dying, it is evolving and the iPad/iPhone has opened a whole new market for Flash developers http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/…

Flash is not going to die, it's going to probably evolve and hopefully kick html5's butt like it always has, but don't say that to morons that have been using jQuery for 2 years, they'll be vexed

regardless of flash, the real issue with the iPad is that it's a users appliance, not a tool that can be used by a media producer....well, you can type on it rather oddly,
Future Fear: If a generation of kids get exposed to the web first through iPads rather than real computers, they may think of the web more like TV than the web.... i.e. consume-only, not produce
- Cosume-only, not produce point is valid. The powers that be are turning everything into TV... : (ideaist
