No comments, just a big smile on my face :-D

I hope the flash/air platform now starts to languish for the web, it was 
never its natural place. Flash can have indeed a niche on multimedia 
productions (stored onto DVD/CD/USB), smart appliances (tv platforms) and 
such but not Internet.

Self-contained contents (like flash or java) can be fine for the web but 
they should be -at least- based on open standards and better if they are  
managed/controlled by W3C.
