Good and useful update, desktop Flash has never been why I hate Flash so much so I guess I should be happy with these improvements. Too bad it took them about 4 years too long to get to this point and Linux users are still left out in the cold. …

@wizard69 You said a lot of things, but none of them make me want to reconsider my view that no SD slot is just a minor inconvenience for a small percentage of owners. For those owners, there is the camera connection kit. You present a lot of sensi…
