Adobe abandons Flash plug-in for mobile devices, desktop is next

The reported change to Flash Player's fate is with the mobile version Flash Player, but it raises doubts about the personal-computer version, too.

This makes me smile. The web is going to suck less and we can move forward.

Steve Jobs was right about the floppy, serial, and parallel ports. He was right about Flash.

The masses in IT, so focused on preserving the status quo and unable to see the big picture are the ones that come out looking like total horses' asses today. That's because, well, they are. IT is overrun by them and in the enterprise, well, the horses's asses infest all ranks and far more often than not, call the shots. That's why consumer IT is driving today's innovation and why, thankfully, geeks are no-longer the tech taste-makers.
