Candystand anyone?
Steve Jobs attack on Flash was initiated because he wanted to stop people playing online free Flash games and pony up cash for games from the App Store.
And you all bought into the lie, hook line and sinker.

I don't know about that. Yes, the App Store allows developers to make money, but Steve Jobs did say that developers can make apps for free and have them available on the App Store without having to owe Apple any 'cut'.

Well, in the store he allows some apps, and removes some others.
I wish for people to like their freedom more... 😛

[citation][nom]jescott418[/nom]So this is one place where I think Google messed up with Chrome. I think it was wrong to tie Flash into its browser. I would prefer a easier way to disable Flash or remove it. I really think Flash has to be one of the most sought after plug ins for hackers. I did understand Apple's stance on Flash until just recently. I am coming around to their thinking on Flash. But I am sure if Flash went away, the target would be something else.[/citation]
The reason most people are changing their mind is because of sensationalist journalism like this one. Perhaps journalists should start posting an article every time a critical flaw is found in other software. This way people would get a different picture.

The thing that gets me, is if it's JUST a program that runs in your browser (for most users, that's all it is - they don't need it installed, because they aren't developing), why does it need "admin" access to your system to run?

I think that's where they messed up in developing it. Not to mention every single thing has to has "something" start up when the computer boots, why?!???!?

An issue raised early in the thread was "as if anyone can really keep up with the version numbers" - the answer is "we do". For shops like mine, an investment outfit, Flash is an unwelcome necessity as our business partners' on-line products require it. My issue with Adobe in general is how poorly it integrates with modern network management. New security issues are raised almost weekly, and we spend considerable effort updating to the "safe" one that will stay safe, we hope, for at least a week or two. Then we do it again. If we didn't have to use Flash I would personally uninstall it from all of our computers.
