Well of course, I was being silly. "Everybody has it" is a powerful argument that consumer-device mfg's will have a very hard time saying no to, and perhaps they should not say no, that's not something I should render a judgement on. But we've got this proliferation of websites with these pointless videos that are driving this, and I think it's really an issue we're going to have trouble with. I hope that website designers can get a little more polite, like not playing stuff unless it's asked for. I have one system set up so that it drops flash video files into /tmp, and if the browser tab in which they played stays open, the file stays there... and sometimes I'll see multiple multi-megabyte files sitting there - sometimes rather significant sizes like 10 or more megabytes. If I'm on my mobile device connecting only through an expensive data plan, that's not something I want going on without my consent just because I browsed to a particular site on it. So for me personally (not the device mfg.), I don't want it on my device even if I'll take it on my notebook. _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
