Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.

Isn't html5 just going to be able to embed new content? It isn't like you are going to script animations/rich interactivity in it. That is all done with javascript and jquery and shit, right? This stuff has a loooooooooong way to go before "replacing" flash. Or am I missing something?

Steve Jobs controls many people's minds. No one was talking about getting rid of Flash 6 months ago. Jobs says something and motherfuckers toe the line.

If this is any representation, Canvas has a looooong way to go before replacing Flash

These HTML5 games rock, bye bye Flash!

^ "Your browser doesn't support canvas, if you are using IE then the older version will likely work. I suggest you download a standards compliant browser such as Opera."
yeah, bye bye...

Aral Balkan, noted Flash conference speaker and blogger bloke, called for Adobe to drop Flash Player in December. 5 mos ago, but ahead of the iPad announcement when Apple drew the line on the ground: http://aralbalkan.com/2911

html5 is great and another thing we should all be working with, but singing the swan song for Flash is impractical at this point. ANother thing is it will only be a matter of time before people are bitching about html5 doo dads as content on sites.
- That's a huge thing people are ignoring. How will HTML5 handle the complexity Flash does now?CyBrain

Hey everyone, I just e-mailed Steve Jobs and he said, and I quote: "Haters gonna hate. Sounds like an bunch of über elitist designers who run an online design community and think that their shit doesn't stink. Sent from my iPhone."

i'll just quote myself if ya'll don't mind:
"also, this standard was started back in 2004 that's six years ago. in that time, think about the web technologies that have become standard (jquery, json, ajax) and support is pretty much available across browsers. with html5, we're still lagging and each browser implementation is slightly different - something that we've been dealing with with css, javascript, etc, for ages, and something that flash (early on) was created to address.i'm all for the html5 standard. i think in some areas i'd prefer to be able to use it instead of flash, but that just seems to be a ways off.
