I wouldn't call Flash dead by any means. Sure, HTML5 is a serious competitor, but dead? No. EDIT: More like dying in a very slow way. In capitalist America bank robs you. |

It is not supported on a majority of user's internet devices (aka: most mobile devices these days), and there are also no longer any updates for the nsapi plugin (no new flash for firefox, even bug fixes). -- |

Air! That's what it was. I was afraid Adobe had yet to learn their lesson. As for flash I'm getting into HTML5 media development a little. Hopefully Flash gets a nice bullet to the skull here in a few more years, and then I'll have one more thing to tell my kids about. Quote:

@bams: I'm sure that A) you're just drunkish, and B) I'm not the first to write an allegory of the browser wars as an actual war. EDIT: I recall doing an impromptu version of this during an office meeting, but I'm not sure if it's from anywhere. |

Thanks for affirming my hate of this Silverlight. It turns out it isn't vital after all to install it, so I won't. |

Sure, Air can do everything Flash can, and probably does it better. That doesn't mean its compatible -- |
