A Peace Plan To End the Flash-On-iPhone Fight
GMGruman writes "As the pro- and anti-Flash camps have hardened their positions, the editors at InfoWorld have come up with a four-point peace plan that would allow Flash on the iPhone while addressing Apple's very real concerns over performance, stability, and security. Readers can vote and comment on the peace plan, which InfoWorld hopes will result in serious talks between Apple and Adobe."
Oh shut up you stupid twat. Gawd almighty, if you want to worship at the altar of Apple, be our guest, but you're behaving like a deluded mental retard. It must be tough even seeing the screen with the pencils you've shoved in your eyes.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
I just learned Flash a few weeks ago Apparently, not so much.
*Grrr*- look, there's thousands of games available for the Xbox, does that make it a general-purpose computer too? Since the rise of the home microcomputer, geeks have been used to installing whatever applications they wanted and hacking the system in any way they wanted. The iPhone/iPad have changed that, and follow a games-console paradigm - you can have anything you want as long as Apple approves of it - which as you say still leads to a huge amount of choice, just not the sort of freedom most geeks expect from a desktop PC. It's not general-purpose in the sense that it can't easily be applied to whatever purpose you want: it really has three purposes: make and receive phone calls, access the web, install and run Apple-approved apps.
