I think it's much more positive to look at the development that is going on around the newest version of firefox, with open source technologies for streaming media.

Just look at adobe and their dedication to 64bit linux users, Because it was not open source people who could have made the software perfectly sat around waiting on them because there was simply nothing they could do.

Adobe is an alright company to me, But I think they hinge a lot of their goals on dominance rather than being feature rich and "liked"..

I'd love to see an open source Adobe/Flash initiative, That would really get things rolling, Because 40% of my cpu shouldn't go to showing a 400px video..

You mean Gnash? http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/

"Because 40% of my cpu shouldn't go to showing a 400px video"

The performance of Flash is really fascinating. I'd love to read the development history of Flash and what decisions were made that makes it the resource hog it is today.

I wonder if it's always been that way, or if it has had its bits rot along the way.
