We knew Steve Jobs was no fan of Flash and has already been sited saying things like: "They are lazy, they have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it", "the majority of mac crashes are because of flash", and "HTML5 will soon replace flash"
But now, according to Valleywag, Steve Jobs didn't hold back at all when he tore flash to shreds during a demo of the iPad he gave for the Wall Street Journal.
After calling flash a "CPU hog" and a source of "security holes" he then said it is "a dying technology" much like some others that "apple got people to ditch"
he listed:
the floppy drive, infamously absent in iMac,
old data ports, apple was quick to ditch
CCFL backlit LCD screens, now Apple's are all LED backlit
the CD, referring to iTunes mp3 downloads, now the largest music retailer in the world.
Jobs then said if the iPad did support flash that it would take up so many CPU cycles that the battery life would be cut from 10 hours to just 1.5.
