Of all the complaints you could make, this is probably the silliest.
Obama's delivering weekly video messages online, to theoretically talk with America and update its people. How are you expecting him to deliver video in a context that makes his work very accessible? YouTube is the most popular site, and it uses Flash. Unless you want him to release videos as .oggs, and get feedback as email, Flash is the most effective system.
- jrockway 18y agoAll I'm saying is that Adobe can't get Flash to work correctly on my machine, so that means I don't get to take advantage of this. If they used Theora/Vorbis, it would work on every computer made in the last 10+ years. Is using Windows, OSX, or x86 Linux a citizenship requirement now?
- unalone 18y agoOf course it's not. Same as how owning a radio wasn't a citizenship requirement when FDR was president. Adobe doesn't have a business obligation to get Flash to work for minority OSs. They work for 99.9% of computers, and that's pretty excellent as-is.
