Maybe I'm just a pessimist but the reason I think Apple doesn't want Flash
on the iPhone/iPad is control. If Flash were to take hold on the platform it
could challenge the App Store and potentially the OS itself by seeding some
control to Adobe.
The other thing is that iPhone OS is based on Mac

Thanks, I had checked these settings but have just rechecked and all appears as
it should, as one would expect, as I have no trouble with my internet
connection only the appearance of the warning!

I agree with you Chris, potentially Apple will lose control over the Apps if

Additionally Flash could be used to introduce errant applications. Already

Hi People,
Steve Jobs doesn't want Flash on the iPhone. He has always stated Flash is too
slow for the iPhone.
Flash is known to be the #1 contributor to Apple's crash logs, so why would he
want a non-apple plugin crashing Apple software Safari?
If Safari crashes, people don't blame the bad
Graeme,
It sounds like there is a major problem with your drive.
I would try reformatting the drive, then setting up Time Machine to use the
drive again. If you keep getting errors like Disk Repair is advising you, it
would be risky to rely on this as a back up disk! How long was the warranty?
Hi All,
With all the well-deserved Flash-bagging going around I thought it poignant to
mention a great little plugin for Safari called Click2Flash.

Essentially, it blocks all Flash assets on a web page until you explicitly
click on them. From a purely
Wow. Thanks for this Matt. Indeed there is a great amount of flash
advertising. This link is very useful.

I agree with Matt. I have been using Clicktoflash for a long while now and it
works great. But it does not stop all image based advertising because a lot of
advertisers now place their advertisements within the web page and don't use
Flash. I don't know how this is done. I bet there is an army
Agreed Matt,
I use the flashblock plugin for Firefox. It does the same type of thing

I find that Word 2008 does not like a Save As for the first save of a
new document and will lock up. I always do a plain Save which brings
up the full dialog.

Yes, I use Firefox but agree that these plug-ins are great for removing
unwanted ads and flash - speeding up browsing significantly.
There are several plug-ins for Firefox, but the relevant ones which I am
currently running are:
- Flashblock - as for clicktoflash on Safari it blocks all Flash
Just a general question re Firefox for Macs. I am a newcomer to the world of
Apple and currently use Safari as the default web browser. I am familiar with
Firefox having used it on my Windows machine for some time. Are there any
benefits in using Firefox or does this expose protection
Peter,
I find Firefox slightly more useful that Safari for my own particular
purposes, but I know many others who have a reverse preference.
In my 25 years of Mac use I have never installed anything specific to
protect myself from nasties, and never had problems with nasties.

Safari is quicker in the current form.
I switched to Firefox when it was quicker and have a few favourite plugins that
weren't available in Safari at the time and have stuck with it.

Greetings! Using Firefox and Gmail. I feel secure in the fact that I will

Hi Peter,
It tends to be a personal preference sort of thing. I got into using Firefox
several years ago because, in those days, several of the websites I used
didn't work well with Safari - however most of those problems have been
fixed long ago. Also Firefox offered tabbed browsing whilst at
