/*Correction — Here’s a more informed view of the Flash situation from a
friend. it’s hard to argue with his numbers:* /
/“I did a quickie test with the new YouTube HTML5 beta. On a site that
embedded a video (so Flash was used), my browser CPU utilization was
22%, and the Adobe Flash plug-in CPU utilization was 55%. (dual core
macbook pro, so total CPU% = 200%)./
/After the video played, I watched the same video again directly on the
YouTube site in HTML5. Adobe Flash plug-in CPU utilization was 4% (what
it consumes just sitting on its hiney), and the browser CPU utilization
was 17%./
/77% vs 21%. that’s why Apple hates Adobe. There certainly may be
personalities involved (with Jobs, there is always something personal),
but Adobe Flash is just technically awful (this actually may be the crux
of any Jobs’ hatred – he hates inelegance, and Adobe Flash is inelegant)./
/I don’t hate Adobe, and it does bother met that I can’t see Flash on
the iPhone or iPad, but Adobe has acted very awfully in this area and
doesn’t appear to be doing anything to address it. Google and Apple have
the muscle to squeeze them out.”/
