Steve Jobs's essay on Flash. Excerpt: "I wanted to jot down some of our thoughts on Adobe’s Flash products so that customers and critics may better understand why we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads. Adobe has characterized our decision as being primarily business driven – they say we want to protect our App Store – but in reality it is based on technology issues. Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true. Let me explain."
According to Leaks, Apple is going to change the name of proprietary iPhone software iOS to iPhone OS and Apple Phone will be the new name of the iPhone.
Drinking Water is a simple task but we fail to do this with work tensions and other distractions. The new smart water bottle allows us to stay hydrated throughout the day. HidrateMe is a smart water bottle that syncs to your phone to track your water intake and glows to remind you to stay hydrated. We have to install the Hidrate app and it will notify you. It will be available around this year end or next year beginning.

What was ones big will now go down.
Jquery/java have truly taken big steps the last few years.
Still sad to see so much hate on such big, and great, platform. Not sure where it came from, but looks like some kind of jelousy or business perspective.. Everytime i read something bad about flash i feel sad inside.
I don't necessarily want Flash to die, however if HTML5 is the next natural step then it should be embraced.
Even if most of the internet uses Flash, the percentage of the internet sites people use the most is likely far smaller. In my case, I don't really go on many flashbased sites when I'm on my phone. Theoretically, if most big companies push for HTML5 (which Google and Microsoft including some large media companies seem to be doing), they could in effect cause HTML5 to become a standard. Things like Silverlight can still be embraced (sites like Netflix), but even so, Flash wont be extinct by any means.
The irony of it all is that Adobe and Apple are quite similar in that they like total control of their products. I don't always think that's bad if the product is good though. Adobe makes some pretty great software. Expensive, but if it does the job well, it's not as big of a deal. Though of course I wouldn't mind if Adobe dropped the price on software.
