After all these years it's still just not right. But flash does seem to work will in ads and the little games that are in ads work well. I guess we will see where the future takes us.

I swear Flash didn't used to be as power hungry as it is these days. I'm not sure if that's because Flash has become more bloated, or because videos in general are higher quality these days.

HTML5 is exciting, and so is the fact that the most recent browsers can display OGG Theora videos natively.

Flash was never intended for video. It was intended for games and animations. Sure, Flash videos can look great, but it wasn't meant to handle the complex data found in video.

I do hope the web begins to rely less on Flash, but it's going to be a very long transition.
