BitCoin mining could replace banner ads. I have Flash on my mobile, which often uses lots of CPU usage for ads. You could argue this is the same.

- blendergasket 15y agoI was going to say the same thing. Seems like an annoying flash ad uses a ton of CPU as well.
- Klonoar 15y agoYeah, you could argue this... and then we could just point out that Jobs & co are right, and Flash has been a battery hog since the dawn of time. This is a reason why the iPhone can be so performant; you're arguing that it's perfectly acceptable to degrade the otherwise shockingly good performance of a mobile device when it can be avoided entirely. Flash needs to stay out of this argument, as at the end of the day it's still a real ethical question - how much CPU are you realistically allowed to take and continually use from a user visiting your page?
