And ESPN.. In fact someone should make a keyboard just for men with only 3 keys or buttons for porn, music, sports.. You can probably throw in a 4th for games. Those are the only things all a guy need to survive.
Apple seems to only like one button for stuff so you may have to pick your poison. But it they did add more, they might as well give us 5 buttons - one for each finger on one hand, with button 5 pouring your beer. 6 would be too many as you need the other hand for well, umm, holding your beer. Or they could go with gestures to make it work.

I would've said a keyboard with only "Back", "Forward", and of course "Close Window" for when the wife is coming over
But what did he make up? Refute his lies with facts! If you're going to tell someone they made facts up, at least bring the REAL facts to the table to substantiate your claim
Fact h.264 is a standard used across the industry including Flash. HTML 5 is the next major revision to the Web standard.
When somebody calls h.264 proprietary. We need to understand that H.264 patents are owned by a Patent Pool of which Apple is a minority member. In comparison Google owns the patents on VP8 and Adobe owns the patents for Flash Video the container file format. The flash container contains material encoded in h.264 or VP6. VP6 was developed by On2 and used by Adobe which resulted it it becoming a defacto standard. To say H.264 is proprietary and owned by Steve Jobs is a huge distortion of fact.
proprietary |p(r)əˈprī-iˌterē|
adjective
of or relating to an owner or ownership : the company has a proprietary right to the property.
? (of a product) marketed under and protected by a registered trade name : proprietary brands of insecticide.
? behaving as if one were the owner of someone or something : he looked about him with a proprietary air.
It's a very, very long way from being dead. Even if every web video was in HTML 5 (which they certainly aren't), Flash is still used for a vast array of other uses.
The fact that flash will within 6 months be on EVERY mobile platform except iOS will further prolong it's life. I'd put money on flash still being very common in 5 years time.

Personally I've been extremely surprised since I got my iPad how few websites I visit that a lack of Flash support has been a problem.
This whole thing got hyped up to be a much bigger deal than it is.
Adobe made it really easy for developers to deploy video content to the web for the last decade. It served a very useful purpose for the sake of ubiquitous computability when the rest of the industry was duking it out trying to establish their own format as the dominate standard. Windows Media, Real Media, QuickTime, and a host of others were screwing up the whole video business.
Now that a better video codec has come along and has the support of all the major players including Adobe, it is time for Flash to gradually return to what it is best suited for. Serving video is trivial technologically compared to the real application programming that Flash is known for. If you want to run video inside of your application and have subtitles, or white board running in sync, conditional branching, or want controls to be able to scrub backwards. Stuff that is not typically part of watching TV shows, then Flash is still your platform of choice.

Java and Shockwave are still around, but you don?t need them. That?s what Flash will be like in 5 years.

1) The trolls have done their job well today. Can we please ignore their jackassary and get the thread back on track?
2) This really isn't H.264 v. Flash as Adobe has incorporoated H.264 before te video tag in HTML5 was even remotely common in modern browsers. Sure, they added it as a "me too" feature after MS Silverlight did, but they still added it, and was and is the primary codec Flash video is streamed to users if you want a decent resolution.
3) I may have thought this number suspect but looking at Adobe's inability to get Flash on all non-iOS-based mobile devices being sold today, their nice HTML5 video plugin that falls back to Flash on older browsers, and recent preview demo of their app to make HTML5-compliant websites leads mento believe this is true. Note: The last two items give me hope that Adobe realizes that they aren't in the "Flash business" but in the "web design business". Preemptive kudos on them.

Flash is dead!
No it isn't.
No it isn't.
OK, it’s dying and will be dead soon. Fixed.
Flash is dead!
Flash is not dead. I wish it was.

@Chronster, can't believe you are that stupid.

So now Blu-Ray use Steve's proprietary CODEC?
Steve doesn't own H.264, troll. Try again.

Would you instead say it is proprietary and partly owned by Steve?

The only important thing is that those who are using Steve's proprietary h.264 codec
You are kinding!! H.264 is not Steve's Codec. The MPEG-LA would certainly have something to say about that.
H.264 as part of the MPEG standard. Which follows the same kind of rules etc. as JPEG. Or don't you use JPEGs either?
Happy trolling buddy.
