I agree with Jobs on a lot of things but this is not one of them...
Flash is not just video, Its incredibly rich interactive web media that cannot be replaced with html5.
He's so conceited, I really hope the newspapers keep using flash, just to spite him. Never-mind I also disagree with his whole philosophy of trying to tell other companies what's in their best interests.
Yes it can, and will. You will see in the 12 months website having html5 and flash sites. Once all browsers support html5, they will turn off their flash sites.
Mozilla's Chris Blizzard said:Because it's still early in H.264's lifespan it's extremely advantageous to lightly enforce the patents in the patent pool. MP3 and GIF both prove that if you allow liberal licensing early in a technology's lifespan, network effects create much more value down the road when you can change licenses to capture value created by delivering images and data in those formats. Basically wait for everyone to start using it and then make everyone pay down the road.
Hahahahahahahaha!
I can imagine old Steve foaming on his mouth talking non-sense and general ******** while at the same time, in the real world, things like this are happening:
FLASH ON NEXUS ONE! --- > http://theflashblog.com/?p=1781
Steve go retire for the sake of all of us please!
EDIT:
By the way, did Steve or any one of you wonder, why Flash crashes Safari on the Mac and it never crashes Firefox!?!?!
LOL!
Perhaps Steve should be fixing Safari instead of talking poo...

Once designers make Flash free site for iPhones then Android, Windows mobile and Palm users will use them as well. So the problem with Flash gets worse.
And once that happens, then the license holders will start charging for it:
Which is why flash crashed my browser at least 5 times yesterday, which is better than 8 times the day before.
Was the Core 2 Duo on that list also?![]()
Adobe Flash is in no one's (especially consumers') best interests.
And once that happens, then the license holders will start charging for it:
Jobs said of Flash, "We don't spend a lot of energy on old technology."
