<title>Note to Adobe: OPEN SOURCE FLASH YOU IDIOTS!!!!</title>

<description><![CDATA[Okay, I've been going through numerous forums and it seems that my <strong>Flash</strong> woes can be purely pinpointed on <strong>Adobe</strong>.  The biggest complaints I've been reading are that <strong>Flash</strong> is not open source so developers have no chance to go in and fix the issue for <strong>Linux</strong>.  <strong>PulseAudio</strong> people, <strong>Firefox</strong> people, <strong>Ubuntu</strong> people, etc. are all pointing the finger at one point.  Well, if this is true, then <strong>Adobe</strong> should at the very least open source the <strong>Linux</strong> version of their plugin to the community.  I'm going to be forced to remove the <strong>flash plugin</strong> from my browser temporarily in case some stupid site in flash takes down my whole system.<br />

In the meantime, I read that the new <strong>Flash Beta 10 plugin</strong> solves these problems.  I've linked the plugin here so you can get it.  Also, I believe you need to add <strong>libflashsupport</strong> using something like <strong>apt-get</strong> or <strong>synaptic</strong> for compatibility since there might still be some issues with <strong>PulseAudio</strong> and <strong>Flash</strong>.<br />
<br />
Funny how <strong>Adobe's</strong> Beta software works far better.  This isn't something new for me either.  But again, if they just open source their stuff I think these frustrations might go away....]]></description>

<title>Flash 10 For Linux</title>

<description><![CDATA[I installed the latest Flash 10 plugin for Firefox for Linux.  Seems like the image quality might've gotten a little cleaner.  I tested it out on my laptop and some of the videos appeared crisper.  Hopefully, the same can be said about my desktop, which had some issues possibly due to the NVIDIA driver.  Occasionally, on my desktop some videos come out with white lines streaking across.  This phenomenon seems to occur with the 10 beta version.  Well, hopefully those issues will be solved as well.]]></description>
