Ganash is a delicious chocolate glaze

You've misspelled it.

Ganache [wikipedia.org] is a delicious chocolate glaze

Ganesh [wikipedia.org] (or Ganesha) is an indian god with an elephant's head

Ganash therefore, is the equivalent of a chocolate Easter Bunny, but for Hindus.

Glad I could clear that up for you ;^)

It is my perogative to be "tasteless".

Of course the blithering Apple fanboys can't tell the difference between the individual choosing to dump a product and a Tyrant imposing that choice.

> If Adobe can't build Flash to fit within the constraints of the device, then too bad.

They can and they have - at least the technical constraints.

Legal constraints are the issue - Apple have banned any other programming languages like flash from the platform. ...

The iPhone isn't done until Flash won't run.
