I hope this is the beginning of the end of Flash. Please don't try and convince me otherwise. I'm a developer that owns a Chumby. If that doesn't mean anything to you, too bad. Your ignorance doesn't make anything Steve said less true. And if it does mean something to you, then you know why Chumby products don't come with batteries. Is Steve Jobs a hypocrite? Who knows, who cares. The topic is Adobe, and Apple taking on Adobe is just a free ride for the rest of us.

And to all the Flash developers out there, do what the rest of us do and expand your horizons. You're not gonna get much sympathy from old developers like me who know more and continue to learn languages and API's than they know what to do with. Languages and API's that probably dwarf and superset Adobe's sandbox by an order of magnitude. And do it better, faster, longer.

Mediocre, proprietary technology like Flash is being hit by a meteorite the size of Texas, let's all raise a glass and hope it produces a similar result.
