1) for now, flash is about 40% more compatible then html5.

1) it’s very expensive to develop rich web apps in js because of all the time wasted on fallbacks, that will within a couple of years, hopefully, be useless bloatware inside your code. I’m talking 80 – 90% of your time. Fallbacks often require Flash btw.

2) I wonder why you think javascript is safer or even better then java, as3 or any other language. (for now it’s very very very slow on iphone and ipad and has infantile syntax, no datatyping, not convenient to write OOP)

3) The still sucks, and totally suck, all html5 games suck very much on ios and take you back to the nineties. The persons making html5 slightly useable all derive from the Flash community, like mr. doob (three.js) and grant skinner (create.js). Kudos!

The real reason Flash was banned on ios is that the appstore would be redundant otherwise. Apple knows it will take HTML5 years to catch up with Flash because they themselves, amongst others though, are in charge of the W3C. That’s why you have to learn ios, which is a very hard to master and rapidly changing language.

I’m wondering what bank you’re using. How can a bank ever use Java (or Flash or any other plug-in)? A bank should be all about security, so they should use any plug-ins. If my bank (or any other company) would force me to use any plug-ins I’d immediately switch to another bank (or insurance company or whatever company).

I’ve never used Java and I’m really happy Apple finally decided to not install Flash and Java by default. I don’t need them and I don’t want them on my systems. I’ve never used Java, but having it installed is a big security risk, so I’m glad it’s finally gone. I’ve used Flash before, but since Apple released Lion without Flash pre-installed I’ve never installed it myself. More and more websites use HTML5 and I can easily live without those websites that require Flash.

Using plug-ins in a browsers was the most stupid idea ever. Not only is it a bad idea because of the security risks, but also because of compatibility. A website should work on every device, no matter what operating system or browser is being used. Java, Flash and Silverlight are the most used plugins. None of them are available for iOS (luckily!), I think Android only has Flash, Linux has a crappy implementation of Silverlight (Moonlight) which is absolutely useless.

In my opinion you’re a incompetent and useless web developer if you use any plug-ins. It’s absolutely ridiculous to use Java, Flash, Silverlight or any other plug-ins. How about people running iOS, Android, Linux, BSD, a Chromebook or whatever. Even if I made my own operating system and browser I should still be able to use every website.

Doing this worked for me after several failed attempts. Slightly off topic, but found this thread when searching for answers to reinstalling with ML for use with Adobe software.

Now that we have a Mac, I don’t want to install it at all for fear of messing something up, though I hear its okay. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations for good resources on this topic?

I need it a lot and is left out in the cold once again by Apple. Like Mel I can’t download the necessary Java Software. Why does Apple again think (very differently) they shall decide which software I need to use; why do they again believe they know better about MY security and MY private affairs?

1) DON’T USE ADOBE FLASH
2) DON’T USE ADOBE ACROBAT READER
3) DON’T USE JAVA
4) DON’T USE MICROSOFT OFFICE
5) DON’T USE INTERNET CONNECTION
6) DON’T USE…what else ?

YOU CAN SHUT DOWN YOUR MAC ALSO, FOR ETERNITY…

java version “1.6.0_33″
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_33-b03-424-11M3720)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.8-b03-424, mixed mode)

Either way DTS is still requesting that I install Java.
