At this rate, Android will have hardware based flash just in time for the world to end in 2012.

Unless Google changes Android before then, and that won't happen right?]]>Apr 6th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/

Their website has been saying the same thing since January 2007:
"Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player." They occasionally change the last line, it used to be we have no release dates, then following the release of Flash Player 10 and now following the release of 10.1.

but hey, its not like flash is one of the main reasons holding back 64bit browsers.]]>Apr 6th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/I like how you respect trademarks, do you work in PR or Corp Comm?]]>Apr 6th 2010 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/htc-desire-rom-shoehorns-htc-sense-and-flash-10-1-onto-the-nexus/]]>Apr 6th 2010 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 6th 2010 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 6th 2010 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/
I just cancelled my order for a Desire with Google's CLOSED SYSTEM.

Flash is the heroin of the Internet, watch all the junkies whine when they can't get a dose.

SARCASM INTENDED]]>Apr 6th 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/
Adobe makes money on authoring tools. And regardless of what becomes the standard for rich media (html5, silverlight, flash, whatever) Adobe is going to build authoring tools for it.

In fact, only one app in the CS4 Master Collection is for Flash. The rest of them are for other media delivery types.

So, give Adobe a break for making a plugin for every computer in an attempt to make rich-media a better experience for all. Or, better yet, how about if you feel the need to complain, you go build something better that works cross-platform.

Man, how people bitch about free stuff. Heck, even Apple didn't build a replacement for Flash (HTML5 does not replace Flash completely either for those who don't know the feature set of each) when Steve Jobs cast it down. Something that Microsoft IS doing with Silverlight - trying to offer something better.

I have a feeling that Adobe has only one programmer and the others are high blazing away from the cash reaped from there overly priced broken suites.

Anyways, looks like 10.1 RC finally works for me. C2D 3.0Ghz + 8800GT, runs Tron Legacy Trailer 2 at around 60% on Firefox Browser, 20% on Fullscreen, but its slightly choppy.]]>Apr 6th 2010 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 7th 2010 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apple should realize that: http://bit.ly/apple-ipad-under-fire]]>Apr 8th 2010 4:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 6th 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/
To answer your question there is no reason to upgrade. The only real reason to upgrade to 10.1 at this point is for hardware acceleration. At the moment Adobe has yet to implement hardware acceleration for Apple hardware.]]>Apr 6th 2010 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 6th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/

Even without hardware acceleration it shouldn't be so slow.

I can't be the only one who occasionally control-clicks a bunch of links on one site, ends up with 15 browser windows all playing some crap flash ad, and notices the CPU fans ramp up like crazy.

I know my Mac Pro is ancient at 4 years old and all, but flash is the only thing that makes it break a sweat. Sorry, there's no way in hell I'm upgrading perfectly good hardware so that I can view obnoxious ads. Click2Flash it is, and I don't even miss that crap.]]>Apr 6th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/
Wow dude, you block flash ads but they somehow still hurt your browsing experience on your 4 year old dinosaur? That's some pretty epic user error right there. To think you have the gall to insult the coding of a full fledged multimedia and vector rendering platform, you really need to take a humble pill.]]>Apr 9th 2010 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 6th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 6th 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 6th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 6th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 6th 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/Apr 6th 2010 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/If they write their code the same way...]]>Apr 6th 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/adobe-releases-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate/
