Adobe To Donate Flex SDK To Open Source Community 158
New submitter ProbablyJoe writes "InfoQ reports that Adobe is to donate its web application SDK, Flex, to an 'an established open source foundation' — suspected to either be the Open Spoon Foundation (who have been working on an open source fork of Flex), or the more established Apache Foundation. Adobe has stated on its blog that they consider HTML5 to be a better technology for the future than its own Flex platform, causing frustration among developers who have used the platform for enterprise applications. Is this a generous contribution to the open source community, or just Adobe offloading another failing technology?"

Now with HTML5 becoming the the preferred nuisance apparatus, can we create something to block them browser side?

Sure. It's called "disable javascript" and it's already built-in all browsers worth using.

Sure, go ahead. Or do you mean "can someone else create it for me"?
