Plugin Death

The end of Flash on this device or that OS is not the end of the browser plugin.

Those who have an interest in this plugin-death buzz also want their browser to become the OS or their OS to have a, err, plugin, err API-based component rendering HTML5 - ah hell, just have the OS based on HTML5 (call it HTML5-on-the-chip kinda-like LISP-on-a-CHIP, right ? Use the 5th core. Exclusively. Right.  First exit. To South Park.

The user without access to plugins is the dream consumer who cannot tell a computer screen from a TV or a real football game in progress from a simulation of the rained-out game. Or a Perl Parrot from a mature VM,

And also - those escort services at Vegas-style electronics shows -  they, too, will be an imagined thing of the past. Left. Any exit. Also to South Park.

We do apologize: anywhere in the above where we mentioned HTML5 as we meant HTML. This will be repaired when Ruby 1.9.4.01 becomes Ruby 2.1
