  Page: Thoughts on Flash

  Text Reference

  We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform.
  Huh? An inability to magically avoid an unavoidable trade-off (in this case between openness and quality) does not mean that both cannot be goals.
  Apple may regret the Flash decision for marketshare reasons, but I find it mystifying why everybody thinks it's some sort of human rights issue. It's no different than the decision to drop floppy drives, or FireWire.
