AT THE LAST DAY of the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Adobe's general manager and vice president of the Platform Business Unit, David Wadhwani, demonstrated the company's upcoming Flash Player 10 platform for the first time.
Adobe is hoping to implement Flash in just about every PC, mobile, TV and consumer electronic device on the planet, allowing developers to create a range of widgets and applications that run across all of these devices. µ
where's the 64bit version?
We don't need Flash popping up even more places now. What about all the frequent security problems with it? Just say no to Flash, it will give you herpes.
I thought flash 10 had already been released? As 64bit too, at least for Linux, dunno about that other operating system.
Does Flash 10 herald the arrival of a 64bit version of the player?
Adobe tries to get flash on just about every PC. I doubt it because they haven't produced a version for OS/2 for ages.
WithOut Adobe there'd Be Little Media, Yet Internet Explorer64 bit cann't be THAT Hard to Figure Out. Hummmm.
Welcome to theALAMO.
At least ALL other 64 bit O/S stuff works with Adobe. Like theINQ READER, Very Discrete.

but I do remember some adobe blogs saying that 64bit would be availble for version 10 - they just commneted that linux 64bit is much easier to work with then win 64 bit
hence no windows beta yet :)))
"WithOut Adobe there'd Be Little Media"
OMG that is so wrong in so many way its scary. Adobe keep buying up every company they can to increase their reach and control of they way people create media, but that doesn't make them the people who have enabled media, they are trying to control media creation forcing people do it the Flash way. (Plus any hardware with Flash risks endless bloody minded in your face adverts, which is why I disable Flash. Flash everywhere is a advertisers dream come true and a bloody nightmare for anyone who hates adverts and Adobe know this, its why they want to get onto closed platforms as then they can't be cut off (and that'll be the point I stop buying any closed platform)).
Adobe has to improve on the quality if the code fro people to start thinking using it all over the place.
Their flash (all version) can easily kill a 2.8GHz system.
lets hope the clay company atleast have a 64-bit version by now lol.
Ban Flash, we don't need it or want the resource hogging advertisement platform infecting the net.
You knucklehead luddites can wait for HTML5 to be supported on IE6, or you can install FlashPlayer. I personally am tickled that I haven't had to make that choice between "Download QuickTime" and "Play in Windows Media Player" since, oh, 2006. I heard that Firefox's open source video player is super sweet in terms of quality, too. NOT.
By the way, it is only a matter of time before OS is relegated to a thing of the past, as Flash's "write once, run anywhere" is applied and we can use Flash/Flex to code apps for the iPhone, Blackberry, IE, Firefox, Opera, my TV's set top box, the Wii, Facebook, Widgets, blah, blah, blah...
How about the security holes? How about violation of our privacy? There is a simple solution: either do not install this crap or, if you made that mistake, REMOVE IT!
Having some consistency across web platforms is indeed a great thing. Even now we still have to deal with inconsistent browser rendering when catering to the major browsers. Assign the blame to whomever, the fact remains that web standards compliance is slow and unpredictable. We won't be seeing major adoption of HTML5 for years. Good riddance to having so many different video formats requiring every last bloated media player on the net. If Microsoft helped usher in the demise of that era and those companies (like Real), praise be to them.
Flash in just about every PC, mobile, TV and consumer electronic device on the planet
DO NOT WANT !!!
html5 is a little more open. I don't need kooks watchine me through my webcam via flash.
