This is possibly the most partisan non-blog article I've ever read on HN. Seriously, it reads like pure anti-Adobe propaganda. Can we vote up a less rabid artic

  Your argument promotes a false dichotomy. Isn't it acceptable to vote for this article and for another that reflects your views? Also, your would be much more persuasive if you were to list any factual errors in the post or major omissions it makes. I read it as reading like "pure anti-Adobe propaganda" because the author seems to have done the necessary homework instead of regurgitating Adobe's press releases. So... True or false flash on mobile devices is several versions behind flash on desktops? True or false they're a year late? True or false it is resource-intensive? And most interestingly... True or false: If Flash becomes the primary way to deliver dynamic content, games, and apps for Android, it will frustrate Google from being able to build a competitive native platform that can attract custom mobile development. It will also impede Google's ability to push HTML5 as the preferred way to deliver applications on its upcoming Chrome OS.

    True or false: "Adobe is also scrambling to make Flash competitive with the emerging HTML5"

      Not sure if that's what they think they're doing or if it's the other way around, but the question definitely deserves an upmod. Anyways, to be perfectly clear I'm not saying the article is right or wrong, just that I benefit the most from a discussion about what it gets right and wrong.
