Porting Flash to more OSes will sure will make adobe beats MS when it
comes to web media.
I hope they kill each other and take the whole
retch-media enhanced web experience with
them flaming into the pit of hell from which
they came.
But that's just my opinion.

I'm sorry but rich media is a fact in the web, and you can't ignore it.
Flash is used with Yahoo! maps, and so with alot of useful apps like
stocks prices ..etc.
Google Maps works just fine without flash - why would you want to
constrain your viewport to some poxy applet control?
If I want to watch a video, I want to use mplayer, not Firefox,
Instead of ignoring it, we should see it ported to FreeBSD.
I write web applications for a living, and quite happily ignore the
steaming pile of excrement that is rich media applets - the number of
3rd party browser addons whose sole purpose is to disable flash
reassures me that I'm not alone in this view
What FreeBSD needs is a program to display a map just like Google,
MapQuest, Yahoo, etc. Except, here is the kicker, make the map
"correct". I used an online map for the first time in two years last
week, it was wrong. I stopped and picked up a new RM Atlas on my way home.
I am afraid I must agree with Mr. Evans, rich media is a comedy. Back in
1998 everyone was screaming "it's the content dummy!". That is still
true today, and still gleefully ignored by most. Just so long as it is
pretty, uses [web|i|e]-<insert new buzz here>, or wins a Weby, the
content is meaningless, and no one seems to care.
Sorry, I'll go sit in the corner again.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
