HTML5 vs Flash !
Lee Brimelow caught some major heat this week from the Apple f-boys and the open source zealots over his post on the iPad’s lack of Flash. The biggest complaints against flash seem to be CPU usage spikes and/or annoying animation. Not to worry HTML5 has both those covered 
Try it for yourself, my macbook sounds like it’s getting ready for lift off on that page.
I can’t wait for the animated HTML5 ads that can’t be blocked without turning off Javascript 
Poor coding is poor coding be it in Flash or Javascript. The blame doesn’t lie with the platform but with ignorant developers who write inefficient code.

True story. My favorite quote I heard in the twittersphere was:
Plugins don’t kill CPU’s, people do.

stop the flash vs html5 bullshit already… its overkill.. get on with your live..
I agree.I tried most experiments on chromexperiments.com and I can say that things aren’t looking that pink as some people claim. Very simple demos, which in Flash take minimum CPU, require several times more CPU when done in JS (and running them in Chrome).
@sjaak I agree that it’s bullshit and both ’sides’ have gone overboard. However there are a lot of misconceptions about Flash being flung around on the internets these days and “Flash is a resource hog” is one of them.
HTML 5 has ways to go before matching Flash…….yet Apple keeps insulting us with that blue lego…….what kinda of sheish is this? TOMO Doesn’t not approve!
PS: Glad to see joo’re back
