I'm sorry to have to point this out, but you must be aware that rational, sensible solutions are not welcome on this topic. In addition, your submission fails to meet the minimum required level of bombast.


Are you unhappy with your life?

Not so far, no. I'm able to find humor in almost everything.

ME TOO!

The funniest stuff I read all day is on this forum and how flash supposedly ***** on android, when I have had an evo for nearly 5 months and wtach flash video and play flash games almost 6 hours of my day every day while I punch numbers at work.

Reading the flash hate and complete lies people make up about my device is some funny stuff.

It's like hearing someone say tooth paste will yellow your teeth.

This is just what I am talking about. You guys make my day so much better.

I love reading your responses, it so funny in so many ways.

I bet if instead of saying flash I said html5 you wouldnt even comment, I bet if I said iphone instead of evo you wouldnt of even responded.

Your so transparent its almost like a sitcom around here.

But just to see what happens let me respond.


#1. check my post times, youll notice they are all no where near work hours, none of them.

#2. having an office job is not something out of the realm of possibility, although maybe for you. And hers another one, people in offices care less wth you are doing or even when if you show up, just as long as when the work is up for approval it better be done.

#3. Watching videos while working isnt that hard, you never seen anyone do this? Humans can multitask believe it or not, and my eyes arent locked to my phone, I have ear buds, and most the time I am just watching reruns for the background noise, alot of people do that, havent you ever had the tv on while doing homework? I here its big with college kids, but then you wouldnt know that.

#4. So people play iphone games on lunch breaks, during the morning carpool and evening carpool, its actually not that out of the norm that android users play flash games.

There, thought out to be enough to get me a laugh when I get home tommorow. Ill be anxiously waiting.

Apparently not everyone thinks that android *****.

(youll need to put down the ipad for a second though as its a video interview and you know the rest)

Apparently so. I do find it hilarious that you'd provide that in support of some point or other, presumably yours. Thanks for moving it all to whole new levels, breaking exciting new ground, blahblahblahhhhh......

You know it makes sense

You're ignoring the whole concept of a pizzing contest. The question is who will blink first - Apple or Adobe. Apple can not incorporate Flash. Apple can permit Flash (which it currently does not do) while it's up Adobe to incorporate it.

There are many web sites that provide valuable content via Flash. It would be a major convenience if I could use my iPad to view that material as I certainly do not have the power to force these sites to use an alternate method of supplying the content. Fortunately, my Mac does support Flash. If it didn't I'd need to spend the money to buy a Windoze machine.

A great example of that convenience happened to me on a date last thursday.

After dinner while sitting at the bar we decided we would rather go see a movie than go bar hopping.

I simply opened up google maps, did a search for a local theatre, and started looking for showtimes.

Had I not had an android phone we would not have been able to watch the movie trailers by simply clicking the "watch trailer" link. This ability, while on a date, was very handy.

ment for --> deggie not coolmax --^

If I look back over the past year and a half at all your posts I can see you have been on this forum at least 10 hours per day, every day.

Obviously you don't need flash, as this forum has none on it. But managing that sort of dedication to defending the iPad against flash is worthy of a medal.

Your turn to point out how I have spent less than a week discussing how I would like my iPad to support flash, and how I am completely insane for it.
