Flash 10 - Welcome to the stone age

By -
The latest and greatest flash release from Adobe is a complete failure. It renders wonderful education and entertainment sites such as youtube to less useful than a paperclip.

After installing Flash 10 and checking some of our sites I realized that every site had issues. Every site that uses flash videos, or other widgets would pop the message "Additional plugins needed, please install flash". Of course this issue only applies to Firefox, IE on the other hand seemed to behave appropriately, playing the much desired interactive media.

Without that form of media the internet was just not the same. Flash really does bring life to our world.

After this little trip of aggravation at this newest release it was quick to uninstall Flash 10. Luckily I kept the flash 9 installer :P
