Poor argument for x86Poor argument for x86Posted Oct 9, 2009 21:56 UTC (Fri) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091)In reply to: Intel talks Linux, netbooks and rivalry with ARM (ZDNet Asia) by drag Parent article: Intel talks Linux, netbooks and rivalry with ARM (ZDNet Asia) I don't know about Apple (after all they are using x86 nowadays), but the Nokia N770 (Linux on ARM) runs Flash very decently. If Flash does not support more platforms it's because Adobe doesn't want it to, and Gnash or swfdec aren't there yet. Not for any fundamental reason AFAIK.

Note that Adobe seems intent on being the only provider for complete implementations of Flash. Just take a look at their handling of RTMP.
When they finally released specifications for the protocol, it omitted a description of the RTMPE encryption protocol. Furthermore, the license on the specification forbids people from using the specification to reverse engineer the encryption protocol.
And when the protocol was reverse engineered (which happened before the spec release), they used a bogus DMCA take down notice to get the code deleted from SourceForge.
What do you think they are going to do with Gnash or Swfdec gets to the point where they can play RTMPE streams?
