[size=1]I tend to lead a very isolated life, and I don’t care much about the news.

A couple years back, there was a giant earth quake (or was it a bridge collapse? I forget) where hundreds of people died or something, and I didn’t hear about it until several weeks later when a group of people were talking about it and assumed everyone at the table knew what they were talking about. 😛

And due to now living in Sweden, I hear of even less current events (if any, really)[/size]

The issue of Flash vs. Apple I do know, because it affects me, (and, of course, I heard it on these forums), but how much does the outside world know of this issue?

**Are only Flash developers aware of this war,** (which I would have assumed had it not been for the overwhealming amount of news articles on the matter) **or is this issue capturing the attention of people outside of the “Flash circle”?**
