I have a different view as to how things turned out. Flash on mobile proved itself, many will stand by it. But there are many that say its all a bad experience, Flash is rubbish. That said the real war is about what is going to be the portal, the browser or the app. That is the real crux of this. That decides where to put the weight of richness.

I watched this video on safari and firefox, with activity monitor on, and it did run more efficiently in firefox.

I tend to agree, all the best FOSS projects usually have either some formal organization behind them or a corporate sponsorship of some kind.
As much as I love it philosophically, many of the products end up as bundles of hacks, over-engineered monstrosities, or just get dropped because the developer decided that they might need food at some point.

Not sure why I didn't get this video in my subscription box. I'll have to watch it when my MBP comes back from hospital after a very large accidental spillage of soy sauce on the trackpad and keyboard :-(

@TalesOfWar Well it could be better then flash I dont doubt about that, but from what Ive read Microsoft stops with Silverlight next year, and concentrates on HTML5

@MrDemilord From a technical standpoint, the Silverlight plug-in is coded WAY better than Flash is. They also seem to have a cohesive strategy for it whereas Flash just kind of is. They didn't even make it to begin with so it's been treated like the ugly step-child they have to support in their new marriage. The Flash Player is a mess.
