Without accelerators out there, in mobile devices, it's small wonder.
Really? Do you have any idea what you are talking about?
Accelerators for what?
Now, here's the quote that most caught my eye:
"That said, despite the milestones we've seen so far this year, Flash will
likely still be around in 2016 and beyond."
Flash is primarily being used today to develop Internet games.
For example:
http://www.y8.com/tags/flash
By the way. Flash ads do not typically include video. They are vector graphics
files that allow for animation and a degree of interaction. This is one of the
major purposes of HTML 5, which DOES NOT specify any video codec.
If I were Craig, a variant of Craig politically motivated (for the usual
unknown reasons) to defend the "honor" of Flash, I would be insisting up and
down that Flash will be used for year and years still. All of this about
Flash's demise is way overblown. Bla bla bla.
Tell me it isn't so, Craig.
Sounds like Bert talkin' not Craig.
