Thanks!

And, oh gods, yes, the circle of bozos. I know that pattern.

If you haven't decided to totally purge your brain of the tech world and/or of bitterness, if you're not following Rachel, you should be. (I say this as someone who is within the bile target area of around 50% of her posts.) She is the Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA of tech blogs.

Oh, I treasure my bitterness and plan on keeping it. I'll check out the blog.

because Adobe is circling the drain

They deserve no better. Games that should play under DOS with limited XMS? Sure. Shouldn't cause my Mac's cooling fan to max out.

I'm on Flash 9. It was a bitch to retrofit, and many things don't work, but if they don't? Whatever.

post-Mosaic pre-HTML5 Web

Oooh, Mosaic. I have some personal doubts about HTML5/CSS3 but only because a few companies are going to attempt to force it into some demented subversion.

Good grief.

Thanks for the alert. There are so goddamned many security advisories out there, I no longer have enough give-a-damn to follow them all.

Upgrading now.

oh holy hell.
well, flash isn't actually working on mrmac or the work machien - too old to run stuff on youtube or whatever.

ThinMint the iPad doesn't /have/ flash, right ?

[en_ki]

Yeah, it seems the iPad browser is still Flash-free. Not sure what the situation with the YouTube app is, but presumably if it's up to date it's OK.
