Just wait a few hours or weeks for the inevitable ceaseless reports of infection rates from Flash-borne viruses "unexpectedly" (i.e. inevitably) hitting the platform, once that happens.It is no secret that Apple coauthored the HTML 5 spec with Google, and it is now widely known that a ton of next generation advertising on computing devices will in fact be based on HTML 5.I think we will see a lot less infections from the latter type of ads than the Flash based ads, since Adobe does not seem to get a handle on Flash's ills nearly as fast as the hackers can. Flash fails on flow dynamics. These days, computer/network security is all about that flow dynamics ratio: outflow rate vs. inflow rate. You handle stuff slower than the problems are rolling in, then you are going to get swamped. It is that simple.

No I implied that apple has never developed a good service (paid or free) while Google has developed and continually supported/upgraded many awesome free services for years now (Gmail, Picasa, Google Maps etc).Something was missed alright.

@phphreak&quot;If Android was more than up to par, more people would be buying these phones.&quot;Android based phones just outpaced iPhone in the market first quarter of 2010<a class="user" href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/195958/android_outsells_apple_iphone_at_last_says_npd.html&quot; rel="nofollow">http://www.pcworld.com/article/195958/android_outs ...</a>&quot;How can google, who doesn't build software or hardware&quot;What?? Google doesn't build software? Good thing someone created a mobile phone operating system and development platform for them then!

Hate Flash. Always have and always will. I don't like Apple's Orwellian actions but i do back their stance on Flash is spite of the fact that they are no better they Adobe in anyway. I hope Apple can hold out until Flash can finally be replaced by something open and better.HTML5 seems to be an option but i don't see it making any impact very soon. development is far from complete to my knowledge. even if it was fully complete it would still take time to filter out all the Flash crap out there.
