  • Flash Is Still Not Alive on the iPhone
    You've got it right. Flash (and even worse, MSFT-Silverlight) are weak, buggy, CPU-intensive technological dead ends. I wish my computer didn't have Flash-- all it does is cause browser hangs. And Java is a long way from "cutting edge"; Java is better than junk like "dot-net", but Apple's Objective C based development environment is reputed to be a decade ahead of anything else out there.

  • Picking Some Stocks to Survive This Market
    To "Socialism": I'm with you on DUK and INTC; I have big wads of them in my portfolio.

    I don't like MRK as a long-term play. They are trimming R&D to save money for the short term, at the cost of further the diminishing the chances that their thin product pipeline will fill up anytime soon. I'd go Abbott or JNJ.

    T might be good; they are SPENDING money subsidizing the iPhone now, and this will reap lots of expensive voice/data plans. I like TEF and FTE as well.

    Agree with Jon T. MSFT = GM. ZERO execution under Ballmer. And, since Win 7 won't even be UNIX based, like EVERY other commercial OS, it'll still be pretty worthless, with regards to performance and security.

  • The Adobe-Apple Standoff
    I agree with Brewer, etc. Flash SUCKS. It causes HUGE browser problems even on the desktop, where energy usage is not a concern. 90% of the time, I wish it would just go away.

    As for PDF-- great format. And 99% of the time, Apple's Preview beats the pants off Adobe's slow, bloated Acrobat. If Apple juiced up Preview's authoring features, that would be a lost market for Adobe, just like Apple's Final Cut Pro sent Adobe Premiere into virtual oblivion.

  • DivX Looks into the Future of Web Video
    I don't think you've made the case that plunking done X dollars on DiVX stock makes more sense than plunking down X dollars on more AAPL stock.

  • Will Adobe's New Media Player Play with Users?
    I'm not feeling the "wow". About Adobe's media player, that is.

  • Adobe Forging Ahead with Flash for the iPhone
    "Now it’s Microsoft’s (MSFT) turn to declare plans for putting Silverlight on the iPhone "

    Flash is bad enough; why suck up every possible CPU cycle with obnoxious Countrywide Mortgage ads?

  • Can Apple's Resistance to Flash Content Last?
    The Wall St. Guy has skewered Mr. Gardner. I've personally been tempted to download Flash BLOCKERS on many occasions, and Gardner is worried the iPhone doesn't have Flash? Absurd.

  • Microsoft's License of Adobe Flash Lite for Mobile Devices is Good for Consumers
    "The marketplace should boycott Silverlight."

    Apple should simply create a 3rd alternative which blows away both. With the popularity of WebKit (Safari), and the fact that most web developers are Mac users, they could do it.

  • Microsoft's License of Adobe Flash Lite for Mobile Devices is Good for Consumers
    Azazello is dead on. Flash has its uses, but I estimate that over 90% of the time, those "uses" involve annoying the "User". Given that the iPhone can run YouTube without Flash, you've eliminated Flash's number one, most legitimate purpose.

  • Under The Radar News - Thursday
    "Then again, does anyone know what Citi's book value is?"

    I don't trust their managemnet. End of story, as an investment.
