How do I get flash player on iPad.

Your right. I was bored and wanted to give Steve a bash, well, mostly cause he deserves one for being evil. You could just say he is fitting in.

Adobe could care less about iOS being open or not. They have never used it as an argument against Apple. They have never attacked Apple like Steve attacked Flash. The thing is, I can make a Flash game without even buying Flash, or I can make a Android game without buying a membership to the Android store. For free, and without any rules. I have to pay Apple $100 dollars to submit a game for IPhone. That's lame. So what does open mean to you anyway? Oh wait, I don't care.

HTML5 has a video tag, and thus the argument arises, why use Flash when HTML5 can play videos. Well, playing videos is 1/1000 of what Flash does.

I have an HP with a touch screen, Flash works great. I also have a Droid with a touch screen, Flash works great. Ever tried that? I have.

If we took Flash off the internet right now, everyone, including Apple fanatics like yourself, would be seriously depressed about the lack of interactivity and half of the really cool websites would be gone.

You can't really argue with crazy people can you.

Is this a 5 minute rant or did you pay for the full half hour?

He could be ranting in his spare time.... 😁

I'm on the anti-Flash side since it's Adobe's fault that Apple doesn't want their junk on iOS.

But really, how do I stop following this? Someone told me to disable email notifications, but that doesn't stop (UPDATED) things...

I have ClickToFlash, a Flash blocker that allows an item if I click on it. I've noticed that nothing "cool" online uses Flash. It's all HTML5 or something.

As for Youtube, ClickToFlash uses Quicktime to open it so it's ad, annotation, and bandwidth-control free 😀

The link will stop for the specific message or discussion group you are viewing.

Sounds like you may have it on for a few messages/groups.

At top right if this page, click on Your Stuff > Notifications and uncheck everything.

I am surprised that people here are convinced that html 5 is a better technology than flash. Its like saying bicycle is better than gas guzzling SUV's (its true if you don't appreciate what car can do for you). HTML 5 might be less resource consuming but flash can do 1000 things more then html 5. I don't think html 5 and flash should be compared. Flash compliments html 5.

Thought so.

Adobe, have used the argument that iOS isn't open, if I can find it I'll post it.

I have an HP with a touch screen, Flash works great. I also have a Droid with a touch screen, Flash works great. Ever tried that? I have.

Can all of what flash does be used on Touch?I'm saying no and so are others. Flash works, but it does not work great.

If we took Flash off the internet right now......

To be honest, I'd notice some difference yes but I think It'd be small. My day to day browsing is done with Cookies, Java, Plugins etc Off unless I really need it.

Apple fanatics like yourself

Apple fanatic. Ok, I'll have to take your word for it.

......half of the really cool websites would be gone.

Really? Gone, or just reduced in a specific functionality, (that might soon be replaced)? I don't play flash games either. Never have.

You can't really argue with crazy people can you

I think I might be doing it now.....😁

But it's no big deal, we are different, we have different views. So what?

Not sure what to make of this. Wasn't there something similar last week?

Fanboys, now please don't tell me html 5 can do that.

It will be the new wave of online gaming and video.

It will support 1080p HD video in fullscreen mode as well as allow for games to be made like these...

Adobe claims performance increase of 1000x compared to Flash 10, and supports all 32 bit and 64 bit OS as well as mobile.

Thanks mods for deleting my original post,I guess some points are too close to home and therefore must be removed,that's what I get for supporting apple in purchases of a g4 tower, 2 iMacs ,a MacBook ,MacBook pro,iPhone ,and most recent ipad 2.I think I learned today first hand how far censorship goes.

they like to be in control!!

Of everything it seems!!

Oh dear, yet another zero-day security vulnerability in Flash that is already being exploited by hackers:

Once again iOS users can breathe a sigh of relief they don't have to put up with this rubbish every week...
