Comment #12 on issue 7382 by Robert.Bradbury: Shockwave flash plugin cpu overload http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7382
This may be related to issue #28930 under regarding libflashplayer.so activity under Linux. There are 3 issues with running flashplayer under Linux (or other OS) -- (1) there is *NO* prevision for "I'm not paying any attention to that window/screen" (so if FLASH wants to run no matter what the user is doing (he's been away from his desk for 5 hours, he's been listening to MP3 tracks four 2 hours, all chrome screens are minimized, etc. -- any modifications to the screens will NEVER be viewed. and "traditional advertisers what to simply shove random information down your throat" (I don't want a new matresss -- my current one is fine -- common Comcast advertisement) at as rapid a shovel rate as possible -- obviously viewed on cable networks such as TNT/Comcast where they shove commercials down your throat (at the rate of 15-20 minutes an hour which one has no interest in.) Google has the model right -- non- distracting, annoying, etc. quickly read "commercials" or potentially informative" points of interest in 15-30 seconds based entirely on "what am I today now interested in". The rest I want to ban from my life (as a worthless timewaster) -- which will provide me with an incentive to view everything over a DVR or MythTV where it is easy to strip out the garbage. The information offerers who offer such flash productions fail to understand that there is a segment of their audience that may value the time, significance, relevance etc. as the significant components of their. And si I would say that *ALL* flash productions (which consume a significant amount of CPU, distribution bandwidth or time should be under the control of the end user -- i.e. the individual who is paying for the distribution means and the cost to display it. It can be summed up as "Its *My* computer and *My* DSL or Cable line. Vendors of information should not be able to impose costs on either of those items which I am paying for without my permission. Google has recognized this, Shockwave/Google, IMO has not. And there should be a strong effort on the part effort to make Google more aware of the users more aware of the battle between the useless information distributors, and the useful information distributors. And the "useless" information distributors (esp, Adobe with Flash, and the advertisers at the expense of "user attention span", "user control", "greenness", etc. should be rigidly controlled -- esp. in Chrome -- otherwise you risk being billed as a "shill" for Adobe) with and a general lack of market interest) to embrace a model where market "information", market "care" or targeted "marketing" really works. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
