Flash 10.1.51.66 Beta is Out
Adobe recently admitted to a nasty zero-day exploit in their Flash player that's already making the rounds of the nasty web sites. This, combined with my current need for Flash in my work, means that when Adobe announced a Beta of Flash player 10.1, I got it. No reason to be careless about attacks, and might as well get the latest and greatest Flash.
I'm still up in the air about Flash. In general, I don't like it on the web. Everyone uses it far far too much for animations and ads. It's annoying. Also, I've developed a little in it. Not the best platform I've seen, but not the worst. Yet still... the Google Visualization widgets are in Flash, and I really like them. So it's really Google that's saving my belief in Flash.
