Is there an appropriate newsgroup where I can discuss a big, fat,
blatant lie floating around in Apple's iPad TV commercials?
Just asking because I know the Apple fanboys like to post here. My rant
is offtopic for these newsgroups but the fanboys might know of a more
appropriate newsgroup...

Now that's just a tease.
Is it the line about "the whole web in your hands"?

LOL, they should not be saying what they're saying in that ad. I'm
pretty sure I know exactly what you're referring to. And no doubt
intentional, not just an innocent mistake, they do it just to annoy Adobe.

Well on a lot of the pages there are Flash and non-Flash sections, so it
can at least do a little.
While the lack of Flash is a serious drawback of the iPad/iPhone/iPod
Touch, I'm kind of rooting for Apple in this fight since they have the
installed base that could encourage web developers to move away from
Flash. OTOH, Android now able to do Flash, it's going to be a big
selling point for those phones. I expect that most of the new tablets
about to hit the market will also support Flash. The
Android/Google/Verizon tablet looks interesting because hopefully
Verizon set 3G pricing similar to what AT&T did for 3G pricing on the iPad.

Apple wouldn't lie, that would be unethical... The iPad works with every
webpage, that's 100% true... if a few are still using a proprietary
format to display "spam"... that's not Apple's fault, it's Adobe's.
Go complain to Adobe for not being open like Apple, otherwise you are
barking up the wrong tree...

Umm... Sure.

For a peculiar definition of "works."

The entire Hulu web site is "spam?" Hunu?

Strange... The Web browsers I use on my Windows PC have no problem with
either format. How does the Web browser supplied with Macs cope with
Flash?

Good luck.

hulu blocks mobile devices, so even if the ipad had flash, it would not
work.

flash is adobe's product, not apple's and the mobile version of flash
is not even beta (should be next month). adobe said it will be done by
the end of the year.
how could apple offer flash when adobe hasn't finished developing it?

Really?
I get to prove Oxford's a moron? Whooo!
Hey Dumbass, if Apple is so open, how come they stopped supporting the
open-source Darwin project?
And exactly how much do you know about the SWF file format?

they have never stopped the darwin project, they've actually expanded it
to include the iphone OS, so check facts next time.
