Steve jobs was full of shit and half retarded. Flash rapes HTML 5 in every conceivable way. It's only been crushed because of monopolistic action from Apple and Google etc. HTML 5 isn't anywhere near close to being capable for what flash can do and won't be for another good while. Really they should have waited until HTML 6 or whatever was actually capable. Just sucks seeing the superior technology lose due to corporate wrangling (Steve not wanting competition for his app store when flash games were huge and Google wanting more marketshare and control of the advertising space).
Anyone who thinks any differently doesn't know shit about the advertising industry and enjoys downloading ads that are 2-3 times larger that look 2-3 times worse.
It is ok of course to hate on flash because you hate ads. Most people hate it because of this reason. On a purely tech level, it's just really dumb they didn't wait another couple of years and get HTML5 up to scratch.. have it work properly across multiple browsers and devices and use even basic animation techniques missing from flash.
What else would I expect from someone who tried to cure his cancer with a change in diet. Darwin awards candidate.
