Right. And the only reason that the "desktop class" A7 isn't running Flash is because it's a threat to Apple's business model.

Yawn... "another HTML5 is almost there" post. Technology is either here or it's vapor.
"Also, please elaborate on the massive HTML5 problems."
The fact that you're asking why HTML5 isn't usable for games just shows that you're really not familiar with either platform.
Please tell me you're not actually trying to make the case that HTML5 is usable for video game development.
Nature abhors a vacuum Lorizean. HTML5 sure isn't being ignored because it hasn't been hyped enough yet. As the other poster said, "show me Kingdom Rush written in HTML5 and I'll begin to think you're not a troll".
No Flash is not terrible at all.
Name me another valid gaming platform for casual games on the web. Do sites like Kongregate use HTML5 for their games? Java? Just no.
They use Flash because for all the talk about alternatives to Flash, it's still *** BY FAR *** the best platform their is. And there are massive problems which prevent HTML5 being a valid gaming platform.
It's only one particular class of humans on earth that is waiting longer. The uneducated, the religious and the poor (which are often one and the same group) are actually having babies at an increasing rate, starting at a younger age.
The global effects of "waiting" on overall population are actually very small when measured against the overall metrics of global population. It's a big world out there. The effects on demographics and culture are actually profound though -- but they are opposite to the intent of those who wait: Populations are dumbing down precisely because the educated have decreased their rate of reproduction.
What is good for the individual family, may be fatal for the society.
It would be foolish to think that the government "wants" this for out benefit. One thing has become abundantly clear over the past decade and that is that our government(s) want power, however illicit, and they are prepared to override personal and constitutional rights at literally every turn in order to achieve that power.
While this new power may be useful in the event of a "stolen phone" one also can't help notice that it can also be used to instantly disrupt communications between entire groups of people, for whatever reason the government should deem necessary.
But who is dismissing what? There has never in the history of the world been climate-stability. The causality of *all* prior changes appears to have been dismissed.
The poster you are referring to made a legitimate argument. Your strategy was a silly ad hominem.
I don't know what the right answer is, but between your two comments I can easily say who the winner is.
No. Nothing like nuclear fusion. This is not an energy source. It is a fuel source.
"Hint: porn"
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that most people don't like to mix their porn habits with NSA tracking.
I just felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of gamers cried out in horror. And then there was silence.
Because all previous HMD's sucked, and Oculus doesn't.
You're comparing the Newton and the iPad.
If Zuck thinks the future of Oculus is about connecting and talking with people in virtual... And NOT firing rocket launchers at them.... Well then he's grossly mistaken about the true purpose of the Internet!
How long before there's an "app for that"?

An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
