It's incredibly trendy to beat up on Flash. How come whenever the conversation of Flash vs. JS+HTML5 comes up and we've all circulated our points of view, a sudden "dream world" emerges to save the argument? I tire of defending the present-

Then can we also look at how far the standard would have advanced as open-source? Maybe considered that H.264 is in fact NOT an open standard? I want to live in the magic world where open-source development moves as fast as proprietary as w

I see your point, however, I don't see a compared alternative. If you had compared it to a canvas-driven animated banner or a HTML5+JS driven video player perhaps? Still 1%? Doubtful.

"What kind of company spends this amount of time talking about the crappiest part of their product?" There is a lot of BS out there regarding Flash. For example, on HN I can up my karma easily by just hating on Flash. I don't need prove it

It is pretty cool. The email has a broken link in it (They've added you to a project called "XXX"), but you're probably aware of that by now :) I like its simplicity. I would say you could benefit from a few borders surrounding specific tas

This blog would hold no value if it were not pinned to this story of "terrorism". If you look deep and examine what is happening here, 106 comments later, you see that people are thinking. A great thing. Another question I stop to ask mysel

This is lateral thinking. You're in the "All or Nothing" camp. The binary reasoning. The very thing that makes innovation impossible. In your world, YouTube, Vimeo and experimental web development wouldn't exist. HTML5 video and audio is be

Flash exists because there is a gap in technological advancement between "standards" / open source and commercial software. This gap will exist forever. Because of this, Flash will also live forever. HTML5+JS can render many Flash examples,

> Why artificially limit yourself to 98% of the Internet? You shouldn't. But you're telling yourself that 100% of the users on the 'net will be using an HTML5+JS power browser. See how that doesn't make sense?

> So hostile. I'm not the one releasing devices that don't support Flash but do support HTML and JavaScript. If Apple wants to give Adobe the finger, they have every right to and I can't/won't argue it because it is their business logic

Really? So if an ad agency told you you needed to port mycanvas.landsend.com or similar venture to HTML5+JS using the "future browser" you speak of, you couldn't see any problems with that? My favorite line: "and if they don't, the ability

Flash 5 == JS+HTML5.

by tomlin 17y ago
That is simply not true. Flash 5 == JS+HTML5. I know you don't want to hear that, but you might have to actually face the fact that HTML5 is not the Flash killer you want it to be. Not yet, anyhow.
