Okay, aside from the terrible sentiment of this cartoon (seriously do you want to see a great company go out of business...REALLY...does everybody with an Apple instantly become evil?!?), WTF is up with the creepy dude with two pairs of shades??

I'm not really a Flash defender, but personally I look forward to the day that all of the ads that are currently written in Flash are rewritten in DHTML and/or HTML5 canvas objects. It is inherently less efficient that Flash, much less universally compatible, and far harder to switch off. You'll all truly be crying buckets about performance then. Mark my words. Beware the consequences of your crusades.

Its the bad actor from CSI: Miami ..... and by bad I don't mean in a good way :-). I'd give you an evil laugh here but I haven't had enough coffee yet :-).... I don't want to see anyone go out of business, I am just happy more companies are going to provide content I can watch on my iPhone or iPad.
