Aargh! Nielsen turns to the Dark Side for money.

The correct "usability improvement" for Flash is a stake through the fucking heart. Flash is suitable for online games, not for content.

Nice......

Just what I needed to read before my multimedia exam from hell. the lecturer likes flash - a lot :-( Ugh ugh and more ugh.....

But then such gems as large amount of narrative should be done in audio not text are commonplace..... ARGH I hate audio on websites and interactive CD crap.....

Oh well off i go to my exam see if I can get a few stabs in about large amounts of streaming audio, auditory memory (i.e it sucks) and stuff..... Shame i can't say Nielson doesn't like flash anymore ;-(.

C'est la vie.... I'll continue to avoid flash, having tried to use the bugger for my multimedia I'm even more convinced of its evilness.
