I'd prefer it if Keynote was an ISO standard - although in some ways it is - the data is stored in XML. Keynote is sooo much nicer to present with. I wish there was a Windows version.

I suppose, but then people can get the streams anyway. Flash just encapsulates the video stream. It's easy enough to get it. Javascript can obfuscate the source of data too if you have the right frameworks. Javascript really can do everything flash can, including loading compiled bytecode.

I'm still surprised companies aren't jumping on the HTML 5 bandwagon. Eschew flash and plug-ins for native web browser applications and video. http://280slides.com/ is a great example of what can be done. The ObjectiveJ they're developing is truly amazing - and it's all browser native. Even IE 8 works. I hate to say it, but Apple are right for once - get rid of flash and other plug-in based user interfaces and get back to basics. Share your JavaScript frameworks, use local storage and more - embrace HTML 5.

Journal SPAM: It's Official: The Crash of the U.S. Economy has begun 26

So what is really happening? Actually, it's simple. The difference today is that China and other large investors from abroad, including Middle Eastern oil magnates, are telling the U.S. that if interest rates come down, thereby devaluing their already-sliding dollar portfolios further, they will no longer support with their investments the bloated U.S. trade and fiscal deficits.
