The web is dead - long live the 'net

There's an excellent article (as always) in this month's Wired magazine - by which I mean the one dated October 10 - about the 'net and web or, in today's parlance, apps versus websites.

However, you'll either have to buy the hard copy to see it or go to this part of the wired.com website to read all about the changing face of our digital interactions.

iPad is flash, but not Flash

One of the criticisms of the iPad that I've heard/read about most concerns its inability to run Adobe's Flash (get the Flash player).

Given that many websites - including big-hitters such as the BBC - use Flash to support their multimedia interactivity, the criticism may seem valid. But why Apple continues with the policy (Flash doesn't appear on the iPhone or iTouch either) remains debatable...

... until you read the report in this month's Wired magazine, which offers some interesting answers - and a rather playful image of Steve Jobs (above).
