Apple has removed Flash from the default configuration of the new MacBook Air, and no wonder: adding Flash reduces batter life by two hours if you have the wrong web page open – apparently, even if the offending page is out of sight in the background.
There have been enough posts here about the Apple/Adobe catfight over Flash and its relevance to the world that I wonder if Flash needs its own tag ....
Still, it's clear why Apple would want people to have to opt in to Flash instead of getting it without informed consent.

Good-natured and spirited debate welcome. Ranting flameouts might consider posting elsewhere. Relevant posts containing links to your own's blog's comments on the subject are always welcome; incoherent mumblings accompanied by spam posts for commercial products are just not cool. Use good sense.
