Hi, *grins* Darcy my secret is out!
Yes, it's not true. Maybe. What is echoed in that "Fake Steve Jobs" post might happen someday, but I don't think Apple can actually force Flash out of Mac OS X. Well, it's not, since you can actually find this on Google quite easily. Nonetheless, it was a very amusing read. It gave me the opportunity to bring it up as a debate, actually, and it's very interesting to hear people's thoughts, I'd say.
