I'm always skeptical when I read articles that list "myths." It's a sign of an
overly partisan treatise, mostly aimed at, and successful with, the
already-devout.
Adobe has a decent business model, where they charge for the encoders, but
provide the readers free of charge. They have become a de facto industry
standard. That's all that matters. Customers are completely justified in
bitching to Apple if Apple's i products don't support Flash, no matter what
their odd excuses about "efficiency."
Push came to shove, Apple did find a way to run Microsoft Office software in
their PC-like devices, yes? So it's not like they don't understand the concept
of running popular applications on their devices. For some reason, they have a
bug up their *ss about this one.
Instead of making incessant excuses for Apple, their customers should get a
backbone and make their wishes understood. Rather than march to the tune,
lemming-like.
