So you have the platform which isn't really being given proper attention as a product, and an indifference to getting as much market share as possible. Then you look at a company like Adobe. What's their motivation? Selling authoring tools and IDEs and such. At least it's a motivation. And they are invested in their platform as a product. And intend for it to be used by application developers. (Then add in the open source bits, like the Tamarin donation, open sourcing Flex 3 frameworks and SDKs, WebKit) And they know how to get software on other people's machines. (Shared runtimes) To me, for application development, this is serious competition. I think it will be interesting determine which platform is better for various types of applications.

Code: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/> Maybe you should put favicon link to your page’s head section, unlinked favicon is probably only seen in MSIE and Firefox, but for example not in SeaMonkey.
