“The software fixes several security vulnerabilities, including ones related to data injection and integer overflow,” MacNN reports. “Others are connected to crashes, memory corruption and JPEG image parsing.”
MacNN reports, “The company has meanwhile announced that after the release of Flash Player 10.1, it will be ending support for G3-based PowerPC systems, no longer providing any security updates.”

adobe trash player 10.0.42
hmmm… I get an error saying that a newer version is already installed. Go Adobe!
So, have they fixed the excessive CPU usage problem yet? (yeah, right)
So they will not drop Power PC support altogether, only for the G3 chip that does not have “Altivac”, right? Otherwise, why even mention the G3 specifically. The G4 and G5 should be O.K.
What I really would like to know is if they are addressing performance issues. Flash by far is the least optimized technology I have ever seen as far as processing. It almost seems that the faster processors get, the lazier developers get.
I’m waiting for the update when they make Flash less necessary by replacing Flash Video on the web with open standard video, and flash animation with HTML5.
When will that come out?
I’m happy so long as it NEVER goes onto the iPhone iTablet platforms…
I think you may mean “vec” not “vac”. Unless it is part of a Vac for the house.
Now if only they’d drop support for G4, G5, x86…
Oh … so “maybe” my son’s hand-me-down G5s will continue to work? That’s good. Three PowerMacs with five CPUs … they heat his house in the milder months.

Or, he can just tell any site that insists on the latest version to go fsck themselves. It’s not like anything they deliver is something he <u>NEEDS!</u> Wants, maybe. Needs? Hardly.
There are no noticeable performance enhancements in this new version of flash player, as far as I can tell. Can anyone confirm this?
A five years old Windows laptop is faster than a new dual core MacBook Pro at loading flash on the web, because of how god awful flash player is for mac. Adobe has no excuse, that is simply not acceptable.
How about updating its flawed speed. The PC version is much faster for a reason.
What!! they have already dropped support for anyone not using tiger or newer. I hate how a website tells me to upgrade to 10 but there is no upgrade to upgrade too. So if a website requires 10, I am shut out and I tell the website operater so. When did this nonsense of only the latest versions of stuff or no show on websites begin? Just bad business on both adobe and the websites owners. Flash has gotten crummier and crummier as time has gone on. You would think adobe was a windows only developer the way the mac and folks with less then the latest hardware is treated these days.
This is why the internet needs to be based on open standards, instead of shackling itself to the whims of a single vendor.
Is there a Flash Alternative that can play Flash on the Mac?
Simplify your life, only on a Mac.<sup>TM</sup>
Adobe supported PowerPC?
Still sucks ass on Mac OS.

That’s “Altivec” for ‘vector’ unless, of course, you were referring to the ‘Altivac’ enhancement to the Electrolux vacuum
