Yes, Jobs and Apple are kind of sharks but on the other hand did you witness Flash running on Android phones? They were so slow that you didn't want to enable it even if you could :D
- oblio 6y agoTrue, but that's also because phone hardware was crap at the time. I imagine current phone hardware is 20x faster than what we had at the time, probably more. Javascript was also slow back then, Chrome/V8 were only launched in 2008 and reached phones only years later, yet JavaScript based websites were used on smartphones. I'd be curious to see a comparison of site performance now, Flash vs a bog-standard HTML + JS + animations site. I think they would be quite similar.
