Windows and Mac OS X use completely different technology when it comes to programs, kernels, and basically everything else. This is why a windows .exe will not work on a Mac. Yes Apple wants to keep Flash away from Mac and iOS devices because flash is a memory hog. Macromedia (the original writer of flash) wrote flash for Windows first, and then ported it to Mac. As many people may know, ports rarely work as well as they do on the native. This is a combined 'effort' of why Flash sucks on an Apple device. However, try running a flash object on ANY Unix OS such as Fedora or Ubuntu. You will see your system crawl. Adobe needs to write the Flash better for Mac, and Apple needs to work with them to do whatever they need to do. That would be my comment if Flash isn't dead. HTML5 is out and on the upswing. HTML5 will take over Flash (Thank God!) and we will not have to worry about Flash hogging any machine.

Sounds like a mac problem to me. I don't prefer either system over the other, but macheads remind me of obamabots. Neither can do wrong.

If the Mac-heads would get their lips off Knob's ass for a second and pay attention, they'd realize this is Apple's fault. Your uncle Stevie is anti-Flash because it's a threat to his iTunes and any iCrap that uses it. A lack of Flash allows him to nickle and dime you on things you could run in a web browser if Flash was available. Using propaganda, he gets all the iSheep to hate Flash by refusing to work with Adobe to make Flash run better on a Mac. Ironic really, were it not for Adobe products all the artsy people wouldn't bow down to Macs the way they do. Problem for ol' Stevie is graphic design, print production and web develpoment can be done just as well (and due to Flash issues, better) on a PC than a Mac now. Steve continues to ignore other technologies instead of working with the companies who developed them. Best interest for the company instead of the users. You bought your Fisher Price computer, now you have to face the consequence of your choice. Knobs would have made a great politician, not that I'd ever vote for him. Now before you think I'm a Windows preacher, I'm not although I prefer it. Quicktime is the most useless peice of garbage you can run on a PC. Coincidence? Probably not. I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentional too. To those bowing to HTML5, enjoy your wait while missing out on some neat web content in the mean time. But no ads you say? HTML5 will bombard you with them too, so start looking for a blocker now... Chronic has a good point to - Flash was not developed to be a video player - it just happened to work well for streaming video. It's initial purpose was a vector animation tool when Macromedia invented it. Finally, I run Flash on my Android phone and it works fine. Think of all the apps I don't need as a result. I can just surf the web instead. Sure my battery doesn't last as long, but hey, that's my choice and I love having it. Smarter than you is obviously smarter than most.

Macs are just custom computers in pretty cases built for people with no knowledge or interest in the engine of computers. Complaining that Mac is incapable of handling simple flash animation is like complaining to Chevron that your car gets bad gas mileage. It's not Chevron's fault you bought a lemon. Macintosh needs to play ball and make Flash work if they want to survive. I have always said buying a Mac is like buying a car with the hood welded shut.
