@CyBrainX if it was so great on Android why the fuck did Adobe discontinued it? they gave up man. Face reality and move on.
- They gave up because the writing was on the wall with Apple.CyBrainX
- That's total bullshit Cy... it was ONE PHONE, that's it. If Flash was good on mobile, it would have found a way to work.monospaced
- There were hundreds of phones that wanted it, and millions of users. Adobe fucked them all.monospaced

Almost 2014
Amazing open web technologies that integrate with regular HTML seamlesslyand people still claim that we were better off with Flash controlled by 1 company who outsourced everything to India and stopped caring or even trying to improve their software years ago.

^ Yeah almost TWO DECADES after the release of Flash we can now do *almost* the same with HTML&JS
- Not even almost. You hardly ever see anything that looks close to what Flash did easilyCyBrainX
- I'd say it's far surpassed it nowanimatedgif

flash is the reason we have "best practices" for "where and how to place your navigation menu" and other equally exciting topics.

Went to check the Flash version on my wee Linux-using laptop earlier as I couldn't access Vimeo videos on it, to be confronted with a message saying that the current release will be the last one for Linux.
Not that Linux is the lion's share of the consumer PC market, but that doesn't really bode very well for Flash... not even its mid-term.
