    Oh, please. Your discussion of the scrolling text boxes is what this article's author would call "a very good example of miss direction[sic]."

    Ganash is a delicious chocolate glaze

    You've misspelled it.

    Ganache is a delicious chocolate glaze

    Ganesh (or Ganesha) is an indian god with an elephant's head

    Ganash therefore, is the equivalent of a chocolate Easter Bunny, but for Hindus.

    Glad I could clear that up for you ;^)

    It is my perogative to be "tasteless".

    Of course the blithering Apple fanboys can't tell the difference between the individual choosing to dump a product and a Tyrant imposing that choice.

    > If Adobe can't build Flash to fit within the constraints of the device, then too bad.

    They can and they have - at least the technical constraints.

    Legal constraints are the issue - Apple have banned any other programming languages like flash from the platform. ...

    The iPhone isn't done until Flash won't run.
