Another big win for a neutral, open web. HTML5 for the win!

Even Adobe sees the sense of it, finally!

Yeah, given that Flash never worked well on mobile devices, I'm not too surprised.

I didn't care for Apple's crusade to keep it off the iPhone, but evidently Adobe couldn't even get it to work decently.

I hope they soon get rid of it altogether. The Flash plugin, I mean. The authoring tools are fine.

AIR seems to be the direction they're going now.

And even AIR is a fucking hog. Seesmic Desktop can bring my laptop (with six gigs of RAM) to its knees if I have even one other mildly resource-intensive program open.
