Devil in a Blue Dress

I don't doubt that some video standard will eventually emerge & make its way into most if not all browsers. In the meantime, Adobe spends millions of dollars a year building & giving away software--for which content viewers & even content creators don't have to pay a dime--to compensate for the rest of the world's failure to get the job done.

It's hard to find faults in John's points of Flash and what it has delivered to us — although I'm certain people will. I was there trying to find support for SVG on the other side. Here we are a decade plus later and some browsers have native support for it. That really hits home John's point of Flash pantsing the open source option.

Being a longtime Mac user, I'm conflicted about Flash. I mainly have issues with the Flash producer itself than the player itself. Even still, it does seem that it's very much in fashion to bash Flash these days.
