This has nothing to do with what I am developing with, but what I encounter when browsing the web.


Gaming was always satisfying on the Gameboy portables. Video streaming isn't dissatisfying, but new.


Well sure, no argument there.


What? That's a completely irrelevant point.


Except that with browsers like Chromium and Firefox, not only are they open source but they can be fixed and redeployed much faster than "whenever Adobe feels like it" or better, "without having to negotiate royalties with Adobe over it."
Well you are right you can't view a great deal of Web content, but then again there are a great deal of Websites that require you to install Java, DivX Web Player, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, or Silverlight. Sorry I should make something clear playing games and streaming video on device like a phone/Internet Tablets/ PDA has been very dissatisfying and that is true. Your wrong to compare Adobe to Microsoft because they don't force you to view content on one Browser and One operating system.
