Regardless of whether it runs on a Mac, PC or Linux or whether the browser is IE4-8, Safari, Firefox, Opera - it just works the same. There are no 'cross browser...]]> Tue, 04 May 2010 19:59:06 -0400 Tue, 04 May 2010 19:59:06 -0400 Tue, 04 May 2010 19:59:06 -0400 May 4, 2010 Chris Golfman 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60084 ..after getting beaten by .net for years in simplicity/IDE .....]]> Sun, 02 May 2010 20:44:19 -0400 Sun, 02 May 2010 20:44:19 -0400 Sun, 02 May 2010 20:44:19 -0400 May 2, 2010 Mark N 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60084 I agree with most of the points that apple has said(especially on security). But its always a good idea to give user the choice. (remember what happened last time - when Sun booted out Mircosoft from java)

Flash is more of a marketing gimmick and all about round corener rectengular boxes than any real stuff. Try using any of its datagrids for some non-trivial amount of data and see it all comes crashing down or hogs the...]]> Sat, 01 May 2010 22:52:11 -0400 Sat, 01 May 2010 22:52:11 -0400 Sat, 01 May 2010 22:52:11 -0400 May 1, 2010 Agent Smith 2 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60084 Google should be very happy with this decision. It certainly gives them the option to fill a void by supporting Flash player in the Android mobile O/S. I love my Backflip Android phone. It's better than an iPhone, in my opinion. Now, if they will just...]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:05:43 -0400 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:05:43 -0400 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:05:43 -0400 Apr 30, 2010 rdgrimes 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60084 I'm missing something really fundamental about HTML5. Every time somebody has a dig at Flash, they seem to be saying how HTML5 and its video handling will replace Flash.

Whether the iPhone, iPod or iPad support flash doesn't matter to me. I do own a iPod. For a portable handheld device I just want to see the data quickly and easily. Flash UI's tends to...]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 11:01:20 -0400 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 11:01:20 -0400 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 11:01:20 -0400 Apr 30, 2010 peter lin 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60084 I don't necessarily disagree with Steve on his points on why Flash may not be the greatest technology in the world for mobile devices. But I wonder: is Apple confusing their own rhetoric with actual market drivers?
