Adobe (Temporarily?) Kills 64-Bit Flash For Linux
An anonymous reader writes "It seems that with the release of the 10.1 security patches, Adobe has, at least temporarily, killed 64-bit Flash for Linux. The statement says: 'The Flash Player 10.1 64-bit Linux beta is closed. We remain committed to delivering 64-bit support in a future release of Flash Player. No further information is available at this time. Please feel free to continue your discussions on the Flash Player 10.1 desktop forums.' The 64-bit forum has been set to read-only."
Oh well, it looks like Adobe wants us 64bit Linux users to focus on H.264
An SWF can load and play H.264 video, in addition to H.263 and VP6.
>Then Flash is a must-have and any (i)phone that doesn't have it is a completely useless piece of garbage.
What a wonderful statement for you to say that MILLIONS of people prefer useless garbage phones.
To affect your credibility EVEN MORE, you could have followed that up with "Apple is dying anyways".
When the HTML5 video kinks are all worked out, NOBODY will be using Flash except Farmville losers and some sad brochure websites from 1997 that haven't been updated.
Honestly, I don't know anyone who uses Flash for things other than video... and Flash isn't particularly good at video so what's the point in fighting improvements?
