In the vein of, but seemingly much more advanced than, Gordon. The post on Slashdot seems to miss the point of Steve Jobs' "Thoughts on Flash". Jobs encouraged Adobe to "focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future" which, given the right runtime and touch oriented toolset, could be Flash itself; I'd love to see Adobe create an official HTML5 / Javascript based Flash runtime. Apple doesn't blindly hate anything named "Flash" but rather the current confines surrounding Flash today. Change those confines and you might actually see Apple promoting its use one day.
My favorite quote:
The Internet is an open range where anyone can compete in any way they like. But Adobe didn’t make the Internet. In fact, they tried to wall off a section of it. Apple, on the other hand, made its own walled garden with a scenic view of the Internet.
