Um. Okay. I don't think that anyone is arguing that Flash isn't power hungry. Anyone who did would be an idiot. They do claim that Flash 10 is better. I'll believe it when I see it, personally.

Regardless, having the ability to use Flash is a positive, except for those people who will use it constantly and kill their batteries. One would assume that they have some way for it to not load on ads and whatnot. A builtin Flashblock would make sense.
