This below I think is true. I don't think this is about innovation. People who want innovation don't sell closed platform devices. This is about money and about shutting down self-taught programmers. Why do we evangelize Apple/Mac? How is money really being made here? Why do the the device and platform builders get it all? After telling content providers to "be open source" and give away their work, what did the creators of the youtube platform do with the billions they made? Did they "open source" their profits? People hate flash because a high school student can make an app in flash. It makes content important. This drives them crazy. And as for the open source argument, how can anyone preach open source with an iPhone or iPad in their hand? Is this satire? Or is this yet another plan to put billions in the bank with someone else's content? There are legitimate criticisms of flash, but there are also liars, thieves, and high priests of code who don't want joe programmer in the temple.
