Have you ever tried telling the person who is convinced that all the television antennas are putting thoughts in their head and sleeps with tin foil covering the windows that they're on the wrong track? You'd have more luck in that endeavour than convincing a member of Apple's cargo cult that they are a victim of marketing. > you seem to think you know a lot about > them.

Every device I have used handles flash properly. >> User space applications can't multitask. It's a stupid design. > Its done on purpose. Dont like it? Dont buy it.
