Still, the close was fantastic:
That is all for now. For a longer explanation of why these changes make sense, stay tuned to John Gruber.
"Gawker Media Web sites will not be supported in Safari. Purely for technology reasons. Same for advertisements sold by Google. They were fine in the PC era. But now they just look ugly."
"Also: As of some other day really soon, certain phone numbers will not work on iPhone, both for incoming and outgoing calls. We won’t tell you which numbers these are, but trust us, they’re not numbers you should be calling, and definitely not numbers you want calling you. If you encounter a problem connecting a phone call, and call us to find out if this number is on our blocked list, we will tell you the following: “That information is not available.”"
It would be funny if it wasn't actually really scary. Actually, it's still pretty funny.
The rebuttal to this parody, though, is this: If Flash were booted from OS X, within months, much of the content users would be missing would be available in ways other than Flash, and IMO, the world would be a better place.
