    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.

    > The iPad works with every webpage, that's 100% true...


    For a peculiar definition of "works."

    > if a few are still using a proprietary format to display "spam"


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

    > ... that's not Apple's fault, it's Adobe's.


    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.

    nope. flash on pc has hardware acceleration, which is only starting to
    appear on mac.

    there are gazillions of pc laptops, all that run on batteries.
