Flash "not" eating battery life skeptics

Flash content uses a lot of CPU/GPU, which will eat up battery rapidly. It is not normal, but it's by no means Apple's, nor MTV's fault. It is the fault of Adobe's for not being able to properly encode what regrettably has become a standard for online video.

Sadly no

uninstall flash or use flashblock.

Avoid sites that use Flash...

You don't get something (processing power) for nothing.

Not use Chrome?

Buy a Windows 7 Laptop. It runs flash no sweat, cool & quiet with great speed & battery life.

My personal preference leans towards Apple, but I use a Windows laptop too. I've never been interested in viewing streaming video's or movies on a laptop, but I have friends who do.

I'd much rather kick back and watch that type of entertainment in my home theatre. Nothing beats a really big screen and totally immersive audio.
