2) There is a lot of websites that still use flash

I couldn't care less about it right now. I've browsed the Web without Flash content for months and cannot see the real use of it. Everything, well, at least almost everything, works without Flash anyway nowadays.
This is the biggest lie I've ever heard and I'm getting sick of hearing it from the 5% here.

CNN VIDEOS, Yahoo news article videos, Hulu.com, radio station websites with streams, bbcnews videos, youtube videos that are in flash not html5, videos on tech blogs like engadget or slashgear, thedailyshow.com, colbertnation.com, bleachget.com THERE ARE SO MANY WEBSITES THAT USE FLASH NOT HAVING IT IS A SERIOUS HANDICAP.

Ok I'll just show you how incorrect I think this statement is I'll just do any random search and one of those top results will involve a flash video.

Uhmm ok lets see "Octopus eyes"

FLASH

I can do this all day. Any random search will result in websites using flash and I'm getting sick of running into a wall all the time feeling like I'm hitting my head against the wall.
I have no idea what world you guys are living in that think we don't need flash you must be just pretending to yourself because I know you are using search too and running into flash videos that won't play all the time.
