Adobe flash is one of the tech-inventions that I resent the most.
Now it is dead for all mobiles, and I wish it is dead on the web tomorrow.
Comments?
Well you've set a very inflammable topic there.
My feeling is that Google and it's jump into the mobile thing has been a
strong propellant to HTML5 and thus flash slowly dying. But at the same
time youtube which is both one of google's big things and *the* flash
site per excellence is still very 'betqaish' with html5, not to mention
all the other video hosting sites.
One of the problems I still see is the video codecs 'war'. We have this
wonderful <video> tag, but nobody knows what exaclty to encode the video
file in. Now if you have millions of videos to (re)encode that is not
trivial question. I guess it'll need time to settle, like if you're
putting a <img> tag you know the source is going to be .jpg, .png or
legacy .gif and that 99% browsers will support it - today (by the way it
looks like Internet Explora only supported full alpha in png at verions
7! [1]).
