This is an Apple suckup piece. The crash occurred on admittedly buggy, non-Apple beta software hooked to hulu which may have been at fault.
Yet “Steve Jobs may be right about Flash.”
LOL, fanboys never quit.
Folks who know flash know why Apple has no time for flash on mobile devices. There are a number of threads here covering the subject but it comes down to the fact that Flash expects a mouse and mobile devices don't have one. End of story.
It has nothing to do with crashes and everything to do with compatibility of thousands of apps waiting for a mouse over which will never ever happen.
Anyway, no worries. This issue will resolve itself.
So why in God's name was Adobe demoing it???
> ... hooked to hulu which may have been at fault.
Actually, no. It was hooked to Eco Zoo, which crashed twice. When asked to try Hulu, the presenter answered, "Hulu doesn't work", indicating that they already tried it and it failed. That may be Hulu's fault, I don't know. The Eco Zoo site apparently worked with a later version of the beta Flash in which some bugs were fixed.
So,... back to.... why did Adobe think it was a good idea to demo this piece of crap in front of people? It LOST them points overall.
Absolutely. Happens all the time at tech demos. They generally are demonstrating the bleeding edge of tech, so sometimes you'll see the blood.
I always love the shots of Bill Gates standing on a podium in front of a BSOD.
shhh drink the cool aid, its guuuud.
