The next time Dowdell or that Adobe CIO prat or any of the other Flash bobbleheads start nattering on about how "open" Flash is, and how "enabling" it is, or all the rest of the bullshit they spew without thinking, point them at this article, and ask them this:
"If Flash is so goddamned open, when are you planning on making SWF Verification and the rest of the RTMP content protection measures available to developers of third-party players, i.e. non-Adobe Flash players. Because if the Ars article is correct, then the only way you can ever reliably view all Flash content is via the Adobe Flash plugin/player alone, and all your talk of openness is bullshit."
I guaran-damn-tee you the first or second response out of their mouth will be to point the finger at some other company, probably Apple, and say "Well what about them? They suck too!" If it's Nack or Dowdell, I'll bet money on it, that's what those to dipwads do best.
But yeah. Every time you hear some Flashtard talking about how "open" Flash is, point them at the Ars article and watch the fun.

Warning for Notes users: The commenting system uses HTML.I know this will be scary for some of you, especially Notes fans. However, open standards, rah-rah.
If you want to use less-than or greater-than signs, or other similar characters that HTML reserves,
you'll simply have to learn to do it the HTML way. Luckily, HTML is kind of popular, no matter what
your re-educators have told you, and you can easily find help on the intertubes.
