Pc and Ipad

If the fact that Adobe gave up in its Mobile Flash version was not enough, then you should learn that a group who is apparently part of the Occupy Wall Street movement wants to see the PC version five feet under as well.

Occupy Flash stated that it is “the movement to rid the world of the Flash Player plugin.” The site points at their movement. Apparently the site’s goal is: “To get the world to uninstall the Flash Player plugin from their desktop browsers.”

“Flash Player is dead,” the operators of the site wrote in their manifesto.“Its time has passed. It’s buggy. It crashes a lot. It requires constant security updates. It doesn’t work on most mobile devices. It’s a fossil, left over from the era of closed standards and unilateral corporate control of web technology.”

Adobe Flash is a micro-platform that allows users to send multimedia notices to browsers.

“Websites that rely on Flash present a completely inconsistent (and often unusable) experience for [a] fast-growing percentage of the users who don’t use a desktop browser,” added the manifesto. “It introduces some scary security and privacy issues by way of Flash cookies. Flash makes the web less accessible. At this point, it’s holding back the web.”

However, the group is not an actual Occupy Movement seeing as the members of the OWS have been camping for weeks in places like Manhattan, Oakland, Chicago and London, while the members of the group are not occupying anything.

The group explained that: “We understand we are fairly shamelessly co-opting populist terminology. And for that matter, we’re not really occupying anything. More like evicting. Or banishing.”
