“Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac...”

– Steve Jobs about Adobe. (I disagree on the concept that HTML5 will be a replacement for Flash. I think that Silverlight is the future of the web. No one can beat a powerful Presentation Foundation with an open standard. Flash will die, but for Silverlight to take it’s place.)
