    Adobe Flash: I'm not dead yet!

    Yes, we all hate Flash. Even Adobe's not that crazy about Flash anymore. Too bad. There's still no replacement for it.

    HTML5 video you say? What about it? There's nothing magical about it.

    Since they've adopted the rapid update model, we can assume that Flash in on its last legs (like FF).

    I don't know whether to be sad that FF seems to be dying, or happy that Flash seems to be dying.

    Like it or hate it, we're all going to be using Adobe Flash for years to come.
    I'm not sure what article you were reading.

    Rapid updates is for Beta versions.

    Well I missed the Flash of Firefox being on it's last leg. I'm assuming that Flash is still being use by most everybody is because their/there really isn't anything better to replace it with.

    Obscure (and slightly tongue-in-cheek)

    Surely the purpose of rapid Beta updates is so that Adobe can push out "finished" versions faster.

    In 2010 Firefox was on target to become the #1 browser in 2012.

    Then Mozilla:

    • Changed the GUI.
    • Introduced rapid updates (creating havoc with Add-ons).
    • Introduced "fruity" extra features (instead of fixing the few minor annoyances).

    Now Firefox's market share is dropping.
