A plausibly interesting commentary describing how airline Virgin America is in the process of divesting itself from Flash, goes radically south with this little nugget:
But Flash still dominates the web: 98 per cent of PCs have Flash player installed while the vast majority of web content – from simple illustrations to videos on YouTube whose owner Google is one of the largest proponents of HTML 5 – are built using the technology.
Unbelievably stupid paragraph. The vast majority of Web content is text, and even if limited to imagery, the vast majority of Web content is in JPEG, GIF, or PNG format. Oh, and those videos on YouTube? Not built using Flash either. That’s just the player.
This same hack (Gavin Clarke) also refers to the iPhone as the “Jesus Phone.” I get it. Because people who like Apple products are almost sort of religious about it. Really clever. What a dick.
