Help convince me that Apple Computers are worth it..

[Scott Greczkowski]

Because its got memory holes and eats CPU to do simple things which can be done in HTML5.

On my mac it gets 9 hour battery life but when doing something a video site or playing a game that battery life drops to about an hour and a half. Thats a lot of CPU being used by flash.

But this is not a surprise it is widely documented.

You can get iswifter from the app store and its FREE. Its a really good browser and it does flash. I actually like it more then Safari on my ipad.

It is not a security issue, it is a power issue. Shouldn't people still chose to run Flash or not? Allow them to do more with their browser without having to install other web browser?

Either way, the arguments against the use of Flash are not very strong

One of the first things I did on the new mac was take it appart. They made it much easier!

No pentagon screws?

Just wondering how the Mac vs Windows thread turned into iOS can not run flash?

 

[TheForce]

Share with me how you did that. I have tried a couple of Cydia flash Apps and none of worked thus far

I posted it in the ipad owner's thread. It is skyfire. Check out Scotts method too as it is free he claims. Skyfire costs $4.99.

It looks like Apple found a better way to prevent tinkering with their toys, iMacs this time...

Apple has changed the standard four-wire SATA power connector for the new iMac's internal drive to a proprietary seven-wire config.

'Upgraded' Apple iMacs lock out hard drive replacement ? The Register
