Really? That was 7 years ago.

And yet it was only a few weeks ago that YouTube started serving HTML5 video by default on the desktop (yes I know there was a flakey cookie-based opt-in earlier).

There and elsewhere I was/am STILL having to spoof my desktop user-agent to pretend to be a phone to get around "Flash is REQUIRED to view this content" roadblocks.

Ideally Flash needs a bullet to the head, but I credit Apple with the best strike on it so far.

You miss my point. You're saying we should forgive Apple of their current transgressions because they did something nice 7 years ago? Give me a break.

I said "I" not we, and nothing about forgiveness.

Flash not being on iOS was not a point in time, but a continuous good thing.
