So blame Apple for Flash player showing up the most as the root of crashes in the Safari crash logs? Thats rich, the amount of segfaults I saw that plugin produce just in my own use doesn't lead me to believe Adobe knows how to make Flash innovative. To be honest I'm happy Microsoft followed Apple's lead with the statement that Metro IE has no plugins. Given the amount of Java/Flash security problems sticking to straight web technologies is just a good idea. I'm sorry Adobe doesn't seem to want to open source or make a standards approved runtime specification. At this point I think we know Adobe can't make a language runtime that is cross platform and low in power consumption. Now if only Google would drop the builtin flash or disable it by default. This is one area where Chrome isn't helping things along.

He blames Apple for not putting Flash on iPhone, that's all. He doesn't talk about the desktop.

  The desktop plugin is largely the reason for no Flash on the iPhone. Unless you expect Adobe to be able to make a plugin on iOS that works, unlike their OSX plugin which just uses 100% cpu even after their use of "hardware accelerated" apis. I don't blame Apple for saying no to a very buggy plugin.
