Why? Why should an architectural design agency try to cater to every single user on the internet? There is a very narrow and well defined set of people that will interact with this company -- those are the people that they need to focus on. Not you or the OP. This is business 101.
Your opinion that it looks tacky is valid, you are quite entitled to that opinion, but you're really quibbling about minor implementation details. In my opinion it looks beautiful -- overlaps and all. I especially like the 'team' page. Remember; these people are selling their image (not a product, not web content) to clients who either want or aspire to cutting edge architecture. I believe the industrial deign look and feel is a perfect fit.
And so what if Flash doesn't support multi touch? If enough people ask for it Adobe will add it. It's just another event type.
We Get Your Point
OK, You don't like Flash. You've made that abundantly clear in every posting you've made.
Give it a rest, you are just getting annoying now.

Flash Player 10.1 has full multitouch support in it. It is up to the developers to implement it in their apps and websites.
Yeah, but that's only a small sample, the rest of the zealot minority are absent for now. Maybe later on tonight.
My posts are within the topic of the discussion, if you have a problem with any of my posts feel free to report them and the mods will take appropriate action. Thank you.
OMG - this i am ecstatic about.
I might finally get to make an iPhone app of my own without have to learn 'C'
YIPPEE :
Queue a new flood of crapware. Apps by "developers" that thought C was too much effort.
Good luck trying to make a regular income on Android - man they need to sort the marketplace out as it's absolutely full of crap and there's almost no way to find the decent stuff.
Oh and grow up a little.
I think this is the catch all from Apple:
"If your App looks like it was cobbled together in a few days, or you're trying to get your first practice App into the store to impress your friends, please brace yourself for rejection. We have lots of serious developers who don't want their quality Apps to be surrounded by amateur hour."
Hopefully that will stop the drag and drop type of developers.
Surely there is already room for an 'Amateur Hour' Category in the App Store!
I can think of 1,000's of Live Apps that should already be filed in there...
The thing is you will never know with what development environment the apps were written, since they still need to be compiled to run on iDevices chips, which is one of the reason I believe this is a mistake.
The point remains that when developers use a different IDE, they rely on some other company to update their environment with the latest addition from Apple, in the end they will always be behind.
And for all those talking about flash, do anybody still think that Adobe, the company that took almost ten years to update its main software to cocoa, is going to report and adapt its own crippled software (flash) to incorporate the improvements that Apple offer at every revision of iOS?
In the end most devs that aren't using Xcode and CocoaTouch for their software will end up with a sub-par offering and one can only hope that the market will respond accordingly.
One more thing, lately Apple has being working a lot on an improving their IDE with Xcode 4. An IDE that incorporates a front-end and compiler optimized for C, Obj-C, C++ and Obj-C++ and Apple different platforms which is one of the perks of using Apple dev tools, all the work they have being putting in C++ language has to be in preparation of something (wishful thinking on my part maybe ^^).

apple doesn't care about customers!
I just find it funny apple claimed performance issues as the reason it banned them, and people were like "omg apple I love you always looking out for customers getting the best experience". Now with criticism of their policy they change it. To me this means one of two things, either they don't care about customers and their overall experience or it was never about poor performance in the first place. I think it's the latter.

Use of Flash
Nope, our website is about information. Our app is a Flash app, uses Flex to write to SQL DB.

you do not program do you.
And IDE has nothing to with language. IDE just makes programing in any language easier. I could write almost any programing language n a text editor. Pain in the ass to do but I can. What really matters is the compiler. Now if you change it to a compiler then your argument makes some sense but an IDE is more just makes it easier to program in a said language because it will color code stuff and underline mistakes. And show you were errors are quicker and easier.
Now it fails in fact that different languages are better for different things and all programs will have one language they prefer over others and one that they are the best at. That language will the the one they will be tend to be drawn too.
Lets say someone is an amazing flash coder. He can write very good apps in action script. Everything runs great and is very good. Now if he does not know Xcode very well. He will never be as good at Xcode as the flash code so his flash apps will be by far better than his Xcode apps.
I like these http://www.2advanced.com/ for example.
ActionScript is powerful, yet easy. All I hate is both Flash plugin for Mac browsers, and Player from Adobe.. because of it's bad implementation on MacOS X.
I think Flash:- is and always was somehow slower under MacOS X (so under iOS i guess).
- can crash Mac browser if contains a wrong srcript
- is hogging CPU
on the other hand, CS5 Flash Compiler promises to compile native iOS app out of your flash, without flash runtime. If that's true, I would be amazed!
This is pretty much Apple admitting defeat. They were totally against this, announcing it right before Adobe were to release their thing. No heads up, just let Adobe spend all that R&D for nothing.
In a security standpoint, it means you can have interpreted code, scripting language like LUA(non-compiled) to be executed only within the sandboxed app itself. Any code that are downloaded and executed from an external source which alter the behavior of the application is prohibited. For example, I create a native Objective-C app that interprets Python code that can access all iOS API functions for educative purposes. If some crafty minded person where to create a script that you can access from the web within the app that allows a certain system exploit, Apple will consider this as a security threat.
However it might be possible to have the kid friendly programming platfrom called Scratch
except that you wouldn't be able to share your code to anyone directly.
...all the way to the bank.
Again, this is not war, nor is it five-year-olds fighting. It's a business decision that didn't make sense before and does now, due to whatever technical safeguards they have managed to create in the meantime.
