    So Apple Hates Flash? What to use for video player for embedding on em?

    http://www.macrumors.com/2010/01/31/...macs-and-more/

    As for Adobe, Jobs said they are lazy and Jobs blames Adobe for a buggy implementation of Flash on the Mac as one of the reasons they won't support it.

    Steve Jobs: "Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash, he says. The world is moving to HTML5."
    He also slams google and Blu-ray... Sounds like Steve is getting cranky in his old age and making some serious mistakes, although Flash does crash all the time on macs so he does have a point although sounds like he's burning that adobe bridge.


    So now that we know we won't see flash on iphone/ipad, WTF are we supposed to use to embed videos, is there anyway to implement h.264 vids as easy as with a flv player that lets you skip in the time line?

                i have a brand new macbook pro (2.8ghz 4gb ram) running 10.6 and i haven't gone more than 2 days without having a flash ad, banner or element on a page freeze, prompt me for a stop script or just crash my web browser....whether it be safari, firefox, or chrome.

                you just may have not attributed the problem to flash...check out your logs..it will tell you different.

                and sticky idiot. adobe should figure out how to properly develop flash for the mac os (start by abandoning carbon) not the other way around. its not apple's burden to make flash work.

                html5 will soon kill flash anyways. anyone who has their doubts just look at Google's new Google Voice HTML5 app.

                bye bye flash

                    i have my doubts, and looking at googles new voice app didn't convince me in any shape or form that flash will be vanishing, furthermore i'm a tad confused as to the correlation , but then again it's early.

                      Maybe that should be a hint.. I have a pc that never crashes from flash..

                        Bugs. Problems with it being buggy. Understandable.

                          I am on a mac, and I convert .h264 to .flv no prob. I have Flash app from adobe and it authors fine, etc, etc. what the hell are you people talking about?!? Maybe its the intel chip, daughter board config? snow leopard? I dunno, i am on OSX 10.5.8, maybe i'll stay that way for awhile, jeez.

                            btw, Mozilla recently said the same thing about browser crashes and Adobe Flash, and that’s on both platforms.
