His comments about Flash are spot on.

The Virtual Machine is a fucking honking dump truck of pure, smelly, grade A SHIT. The Flex Framework that they are pushing for app development is horrible and filled with massive memory leaks (which are inherent anyways in Flash, even writing the simplest code).

For a graphics specific platform it sucks ass at handling huge numbers of objects (like screens with 2000+ objects being drawn, even if the objects are relatively simple). Its just a very poorly made system.

I have authority in saying too, I worked for 2 years solely on Flash development in the Flex framework, both in browser and in AIR (don't get me started on how "works in the browser, works on the desktop" is a complete load of BS).

I'd rather blow my brains out then work on that shit again (unless I was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, in which I would just quit after the first year).

i mean the finished product as a whole. all that happens with flash, (for me, at least) is it fails on browsers and makes you refresh the page. this doesn't happen on windows, not even XP. i've had this problem a lot lately, but i doubt it's the OS, probably adobe, because they've gotten lazier than a full-time hooker

either way, majority of the sites i navigate to are still in flash and not html5, especially games and such; 3rd party show/movie streaming

It's pre-gen 1 now and just looks like it should have come out back in 2007, but one day it will be able to support Logic Pro, Final Cut, and actually work with flash. But until 2012 comes we'll just have to watch people who have a lot of cash and just don't know any better waste their money on this crap.

This lol. I love it when you go to an ex-rich kid's house, and they have all this old technology lying around from the late 90s when they were successful.

Cant see the point in it for day to day use over a laptop i ipone but this could potentially become an amazing controller for logic or ableton. A Lemur or Dexter like app would be nice
