New letter by Mr. Steve jobs as he speaks about flash as a platform being closed and proprietary — he speaks openly about everything flash-negative. I for one am not a fan of this — he did leave out everything flash-positive and all the things flash as a design and animation tool /creative interactive designer’s tool it really is and all the things flash can do outside of Apple’s bubble. But have a read for yourselves and make up your own mind, the letter’s link is below:

Steve Jobs talks Flash Design
Thursday, April 29th, 2010iAd Digital Advertising’s New Design
Sunday, April 18th, 2010Some videos below with Steve jobs keynote presentation, he talks about the new iPhone OS 4.0 and iAd. Apple claims that most people are not using search on the iPhone, instead using Apps to find things to do and places to go. Apple wants to deliver interaction and emotion back into advertising on Apps. Watch the videos below to see what’s happening with the iAd design from Apple. You can all decide for yourselves, but for right now it means a bit of change for content providers, designers, and developers.
I for one — have hope that creative content designers and developers could have the freedom to choose the tools that they prefer (flash design, HTML5, Xcode, Cocoa, javascript, etc) – in effort to create amazing content no matter what technology… but you’ll hear Jobs mention a bit about HTML5 in the first video… I love Apple products but not much love for this.
HTML5 and Flash Design
Thursday, April 15th, 2010Stop the hate everyone! Creativity shouldn’t depend on the technology used.
I absolutely love this article by “A List Apart” published over a month ago:
It’s entitled “Flash Standards: The Cold War of the Web”
read the full article here
A List Apart states regarding the debate between design with HTML5 and website design with flash — is that the issue is larger than which one is better. It’s about preference and politics.
Read the entire article it’s a great read — almost 90% of the way through it they write a part about “people”. It goes on to say “People matter. Not users, but people. A user is a faceless entity, robotically performing tasks that we test and optimize. A person lives, laughs, cries, loves, hates—and uses the sites and applications we make…”
