hmm... Ujjwal , i'm not sure where you are goin with this post, with so many things to say :) I'm just going to write down about something, ok may be only one thing.
I'm already waiting for HTML 5 to appear on the scene, in fact i'm so excited even about the drafts. about the giving up Flash, I guess it won't happen any time soon. It's not that i don't want it too. Being a Flash developer i'm quite aware about its pros and CONS too. I hate the way people overdo flash. It just makes it look slutty. Anyways, back to the point. One reason I like ( and i think maybe people like ) Flash is the "richness" ( in terms of user-experience ) it provides, using a really minimial overhead ( unless you are doing some crazy voodoo magic, which is still possible using flash, hehe ). Ajaxy interfaces still lag far behind in terms on the overhead thing when compared to output the same rich experience. I guess u might have noticed that ( and i didn't say i hate ajax, watch out ) Another reason i think flash won't be dropped soon is about the fact that the web is now expanding, its getting off the usual monitors and now getting on devices, gadjets and more to come. So unless somebody builds a "browser" that might supports all that glory of the upcoming HTML 5 for such devices ( and still let you place a call, if it was a cell ), i guess something has to hold the line and make people ( users ) happy. Don't tell me u'd like a pixeleted jagged edgy button instead of a gel button(Damn you, if you do). After all we all want some MORE !!! I am not trying to say it's invicible. All i meant is something like > If you want to beat Google, u gotta do better than them. ( and i'm always on the winners side, whoever wins, hehe ) And about the size thing, i (truly) don't care how big it is, if it runs exactly the same, really ! And i'm not goin to start up against the good folks at Adobe ( i still am aware this is a FOSS list ). Maybe you are right, may be they pasted their code multiple times ( and i'm not sure if the compiled output would differ in size, hehe ujjwal this was a funny one ). What matters to me is that we've now a player, that supports all the niceities of the recent(even though its yet in some alpha or beta). About the "hacking" thing, ahh... i wish something was unhackable, there are always goin to be guys who break into, i guess that's the beauty. But then i guess, Linux applications were never bigger :D Regards suVasH..... On 6/1/08, Ujwal (RUBBOT) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hard to imagine...
