As the article states, I really don’t want to debate the technical merits of Flash in this case, and won’t respond to any comments that discuss those issues (my content management system won’t let me disable comments on an article by article basis, or I would for this one). The time for debate is over – Apple has given Adobe what they needed, and the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.
