They must be doing some compatibility tests then, which some would say is
worse (like inconsistent stylesheets that limit the user based on
user-agent) while some would argue is much-appreciated. I have Flash
blocker installed so I need to press a little icon to permit it to show up.
In the past, for only a few days, Palm used Flash to introduce the
LifeDrive, which I thought was appalling (the form of introduction, not the
LifeDrive).
Some designer refuse to accept that the Web is not a poster, neither it is a
theatre. People use the Web to fetch information more predominantly than
for entertainment purposes.
