With Apple's long time hatred of Adobe's Flash product, they began steering the world into a Flash-less frame of mind, one where HTML5 rules over animated content."</em></p><p><img height="200" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1312297685.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" width="540" /></p><p>This is either a reaction to the Apple-Flash dust up over the last year, or just a natural progression of Adobe as they continue to update web tools. What ever the reason, its a good thing in my book. I think Flash will be around for a long time, but I certainly will be glad when more sites utilize HTML5 instead of it. As it is now, less than half of browsers utilize HTML5 so there is a long way to go. You can find out more at the <a href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/" target="_blank">Adobe Labs page</a>, but this is a welcome step. </p>
