Adobe Responds to Flash Crash Bug.

As we have previously discovered, Flash 10.1 beta is not affected by the crash-inducing bug. Matthew Dempsky has been pressing this issue for quite a while. The news hits front page of Hacker News earlier this week and garnered more attentions.

Adobe has now officially responded to this bug. The fix will beincluded in Flash 10.1 that will be released sometimes in 2010. Considering the nature of this bug, Adobe should have included the fix sooner in the 10.0.x release.

I have been using ClickToFlash for a while to weed out those pesky Flash-based ads. In addition to that I have not been missing Flash on the iPhone and iPod touch at all. In a way I’m glad that the iPad won’t be supporting Flash plugin.

Seriously, I don’t really depend on Flash when surfing the web.

Note to Darren Carter, you need to dump the stupid Flash-based site of yours. Get a real webmaster!

This Flash Will Crash Your Web Browsers.

Found via Hacker News.

If you have even an up-to-date Flash plugin installed, it most likely will crash your browsers. It seems that this bug has been fixed in Flash 10.1 beta.

I have ClickToFlash installed, so I could actually read what this page says without having Safari crashed.

No wonder Steve Jobs won’t allow Flash on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

Could this be the end of MacWorld?

One big news to close 2008 and to open 2009. Apple announces its last year at MacWorld, and Steve Jobs won’t be delivering the opening keynote. What is really going on?

There’s the economic downturn, the state of Steve Jobs’ health, the succession of the Apple throne, and Apple’s company direction.

MacWorld San Francisco 2009 will be remembered as the tragic one. Adobe was the first major company to pull out of MacWorld, folowed by Belkin. Now Apple announced its last participation at MacWorld.

This could be the end of MacWorld as we know it.
