They get paid for every Google search done through the integrated search form. That's worth something.

According to this report by Ryan Naraine, for example, the Mozilla Foundation earned over $50 million in search engine ad revenue in 2005, mostly from Google.
The new iTunes no longer has the brushed metal window. Is this the beginning of the end for brushed metal? I wouldn't be surprised to see all of Apple's apps move towards this new look by the time they release 10.5. My personal preference: good riddance brushed metal.
I was generalizing, but the content within a scaled 100% width movie is still fixed. If the 100% movie is in a browser window 800px tall, and the content within is 1200px tall, you won't see 400px of it and the browser won't show scrollbars unless you put your whole movie into a Flash scrollpane or custom create some equivalent. Either way, the point is that its a lot more work to do in Flash some things you get for free in the browser.
Outside of the download the plugin issue (which isn't that large of an issue anymore) Flash movies must always run at a fixed size. The fluid nature of HTML is a huge bonus when it comes to creating RIAs--something that takes a long time to compensate for when developing Flash RIAs.
Adobe will be buying its way into so much more than just print/web design... Macromedia makes Authorware, manages its own middleware, not to mention Breeze, Flex and the other odd ones that defy categorization. How will these interesting technologies fare if they dont fit into Adobe's larger plans?

My mother suffers from the same syndrome. My father has said for years he's "going broke saving money".
