MacDailyNews Take: And AT&T takes another roundhouse right in the kisser! (As they laugh their way to the bank.)
MacDailyNews Note: Note to advertisers: (including those who advertise via third-party ad networks and become, in effect, our advertisers): Your Flash-based ads are no longer reaching the most well-heeled customers online: 50+ million iPhone owners. They’re also not hitting brand new iPad users or 35+ million iPod touch users. If you care about reaching people with discretionary income, you might want to consider dumping your flash-based ads and moving to a more open format that people with money and the will to spend it can actually see.

Watching that flash with all its embedded commercials reminded me why flash is a POS!

David letterman: a has been that Is and has stupid, utterly unfunny people writing embarrasing so called jokes. Please do us all a favor, retire and quickly fade away.
Nice flash video, MDN. It’s all good to put up a disclaimer but if you keep using it yourself you’re jut being hypocritical
My Top 10 List for not watching CBS’s The Late Show with David Letterman (but I only need one):
Number Onnnnneee… David Letterman!
Besides posting embedded flash into stories, when is mdn going to pull it’s head out and put up a iPad version of it’s news reader?? Come on already. Use the technology you so dearly push.
HTML 5 isn’t going to change your commercials. You’ll have plenty and with 4.0 and the new ad platform. You’re likely to see significantly more.
Ghos… This anti-adobe shit you copy and paste every article is getting very repetetive and boring…
