"After Steve Jobs announced that he thinks Flash sucks, Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch replied with a blog post that we're interpreting as "Yeah? Well, we're taking our ball and going home!" Of course, he called it "moving forward" instead.""
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
At the very least, they could make it so that it doesnt run crap on macs.
I'm with Steve on this one.
It can't be good to have a format which is owned by a monopolist for 90% of video content in the internet. Especially when it's not practical on mobile devices with its battery draining CPU usage.
I was playing a crappy flash game last night and it was using 1.5gb of my 4gb DDR3 ram. My current processor is a 3GHz Core 2 Duo.
If a crappy flash game is taking up 1.5gb on a desktop computer... imagine what that would do on a mobile device, it'd like explode because they only have 250mb of ram.
Not only the hardware limitations but the interface for most if not all flash games and videos would not work for mobile devices.
If you want to have flash on your mobile... good luck to you.
Send from my Nexus 1.
And thats THAT. Shows over.
As a web programmer, I actually prefer HTML 5 over Flash. HTML 5 is more objective Javascript/CSS based language, whereas Actionscript is much more "timeline" based language which doesn't always work very well, especially in terms of memory allocation.
Anyways, Flash is definitely needed since a lot of websites use it, but HTML 5 is definitely replacing it as the language of choice, imo.
