Beer is teh reason: A Frucci: iPad no like Flash?


Beer is the reason: Flash should die!

By now, if you know me, I have hated flash with a vengence for years. Resource hog, stupid use for ridiculous menus, impossible to update without redesigning wholes sites, etc etc etc. Finally because of the iPad, awesomely STUPID name for Apple's new tablet, people are realizing this.

The main arguments against Flash running on the iPad are that it's a resource hog and a security risk. Both true! Hopefully the web is moving away from relying on Flash for videos and ugly menus, with HTML5 acting as a more-than-adequate replacement. But we're not there yet. While I can appreciate the fact that Apple is trying to keep the iPad more stable by not including Flash, the fact that it kills off most online gaming and video streaming in the process makes the tradeoff questionable.

Kill Flash, Apple! Kill! Kill! Kill!
