Apple doesn't support Flash

Apple's battle plan seems to have been laid bare.  Future proofing.  You don't want Flash support now, you want HTML5 support later.  Wait, what?  No, we want it all...  yesterday.

Last week during an Apple town hall meeting Steve Jobs condemned Adobe for being the a bunch of lazy SOB's who write buggy code.

"Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it's because of Flash. No one will be using Flash. The world is moving to HTML5." - Steve Jobs

Some of which is true, or at least plausible.  I'm a firm believer that we're definitely moving to a world where many Flash features are succeeded by newer standards and technologies such as HTML5 media embedding.  Lets face it though, that's not now.  Now is now, and now we want Flash support. 

Oh, and if wouldn't be too hard, could you throw in a bit of Blu Ray love in there too? You know, it's only been out for about 7 years now.
