Flash crashes iMac?

And you got your latest version of Flash direct from Adobe and not some popup window somewhere else?

If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

It's probably the Flash Plug-In. My computer started seeing first just the Flash plug-in crashing, but quite often the whole computer locks up while trying to play a Flash video, and restarts. This all started when I downloaded the upgrade to 11.6 on the plugin, in mid-Februrary.

It IS the Flash plug-in, though no one seems to want to acknowledge this.

Most aren't getting paid at all. And if they aren't getting paid, they won't take the training to teach themselves HTML5. They work with what they are familiar with and that's the problem. Sadly, until HTML5 is standard teaching in all schools, which take time to change, that will also slow down adoption. From what I read online while Microsoft is slowly divorcing itself from Silverlight, it has at least 8 years of life left in it. And Adobe has said it would stop mobile Flash development: http://www.techspot.com/news/46192-adobe-stops-mobile-flash-development-will-foc us-on-html5.html so who knows how soon the rest of the industry will catch on. Some companies still can't upgrade to Windows 7 because of dependencies on drivers that only existed in XP. And because Microsoft HTML5 development only really works on Windows 7 or later, that type of thing is going to hold many back.
