And almost 70-80% of those 40% are crazy enough to have been addicted to Facebook/Twitter.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

The other 60% still live a happy and innocent life...

Google today began automatically converting Adobe Flash ads to HTML5. As a result, it’s now even easier for advertisers to target users on the Google Display Network without a device or browser that supports Flash. Not sure if this is good news, actually

I think for Adobe it becomes much more easy. 99% of the "daily" security updates will only Need to be delivered to Google

I don't believe it is. I can set plugins/flash to "click to enable" so that I only see grey boxes instead of ads. Can't do that with HTML5.

That implies that Flash can do more than HTML5.

If I block the div an ad is in, it doesn't matter if it was implemented in flash, html5, java, or silverblight; all are equally hidden from my view.

As far as I'm concerned it is good news. I hate hate HATE flash with a passion.

And it needs to die. Flash is the new IE6.

YEah - but this initiative won't make it die - it will increase its lifespan - as why would flash devs learn HTML5 if they can keep doing what tghey are doing and have Google do the conversion for them?

You've a point. But maybe they will end-of-life the conversion after giving the converted-to-HTML5 flash code back to the admakers. Then also, at the same time, strip all flash out of webpages displayed in chrome.

I think animated banner ads should be converted to inert JPG's so that the first frame is the only thing they get to show...I can live with that.
Hey, that might be a good idea for a plugin

I wonder if they built their own tool for scratch, or if they're building off of Shumway[^], Mozilla's attempt to create a flash runtime in javascript.

As endlessly challenging as code is, dealing with people is, by far, the harder part of developing software products.
Once upon a time, I had a certification for Project Management from some Very Prestigious Project Management Organization. I knew all about PERT and Gantt charts, critical paths, and resource balancing. I won’t say that knowledge of such things is useless in software project management, but they are not nearly as important as these five issues
Agreed. I would much rather deal with code than deal with people
