Re: [Apple iPod] Advertising Standards rap Apple

i dont think i did miss the point. they r claiming flash is necessary
to see the "standard" internet, when, in fact, flash is a
proprietary runtime, not a standard at all. maybe adobe/macromedia
conned most browsers to include it by default but this, imo, does not
make it a standard; common, no doubt; standard, i think not.
