The register is discussing a study that claims that Steve Jobs was wrong, when he stated:<\/p>\n
According to tests from the Streaming Learning Center – an online media consultancy that conducts public seminars on the delivery of net video – Flash is no more of a CPU drain than the HTML5 setup favored by Steve Jobs. The issue is not whether you use Flash or HTML5, says Jan Ozer, who conducted the tests, but whether you back them with hardware acceleration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Overall, even when using HTML 5 with H.264 Safari, and Chrome were both pulling roughly the same load as the Flash player when tested on the Macintosh…. \u00c2\u00a0So why bother, is effectively what the study is claiming. \u00c2\u00a0Use Flash, it’s fine, just let Flash access the GPU directly…<\/p>\n
Right…. \u00c2\u00a0Adobe has for years ignored the Macintosh, and put out sub-par versions of Flash, just significant enough to say that they support Flash on the Macintosh. \u00c2\u00a0Now Apple is suppose to expose the GPU directly to Adobe?<\/p>\n
Let Adobe do this right… \u00c2\u00a0Access the Graphics drivers like any other developer, and stop looking for a Magic bullet so that you can instantly leap across your lack of R&D.<\/p>\n
Yes, on Windows you were able to directly access the video hardware, that’s why windows can be so fragile. \u00c2\u00a0People accessing hardware and drivers that are either buggy, fragile, or ripe with bugs…<\/p>\n
On the Macintosh, the tools already exist to speed your software up. \u00c2\u00a0Yes, part of the problem is that your drawing inside another applications video space (eg the Web browser). \u00c2\u00a0But you have already worked with Apple to attempt to solve this problem, and you have partially. \u00c2\u00a0I examined your posting discussing the new webkit foundation, where you have significantly decreased the CPU load when parred with 10.1 Flash, and the latest web kit.<\/p>\n
Stop making excuses and work like any other developer. \u00c2\u00a0Just because your Adobe, doesn’t mean that you are correct. \u00c2\u00a0Apple owns the OS, and they are not wrong in asking you to follow the rules.<\/p>\n
