No wonder Steve Jobs can't stand flash. I'm with him on that one, and it seriously I think it has had it's day. Flash development seems to be like IE6, determined to hang on till the bitter, bitter end.
Another nail in it's coffin started last week with the latest version of Adobe's flash player coming bundled with McAfee. A well known bloatware anti virus product.
If I missed the checkbox (apparently there was one), you can damn well know that millions will definitely miss it. Possibly due to the way firefox and other browsers install the update, you may not even see a checkbox like me. And that's Adobe's total lack of respect and integrity for it's customers, it chases profits by bundling junk surreptitiously with it's not very flavour of the month plugin. It's bad enough you have to have Adob'e download manager installed as well...just to get the damn Flash plugin.
Is someone from Microsoft involved with Adobe? 8D
Sarcasam aside, in the last week alone the twitterverse has coughed up a ton of angry tweets at Adobe and not one response has been forthcoming.

That's just one search on twitter alone, but many angry news and blog sites are lashing out, even Adobe's forums are on fire, and Adobe's response??
Check their twitter account: http://twitter.com/adobe and you'll see Adobe seem to be high on themselves, performing self masturbatory smiley's and congratulations while blissfully ignoring a lot of angry customers. The Adobe juice they are drinking, yes, it must be that good.
Obviously denial working well for Adobe, and my advice, keep doing what your doing Adobe...because your doing an exemplary job of fucking things up better than anyone could have hoped for.
Congratulations Adobe! And very much looking forward to the flash funeral!
