Maybe it's time the porn industry got serious about ditching flash. Porn is the only reason why I still use flash, and I suspect I'm not the only one.

Use it on Linux with NoScript. Knocks out most, if not all, of the problems. ;)

It's quite shocking how many 0-day vulnerabilities these guys fix.

Do you mean: "It is quite shocking how many 0-day vulnerabilities Flash has"

Or do you mean

"It is quite shocking how many 0-day vulnerabilities other software companies don't fix"

By definition once a fix is available it's not a 0day anylonger.

Each fix is in response to an exploitable flaw in their software that was discovered by a hacker. It's quite shocking how many exploitable vulnerabilities exist in Flash.

It wouldn't be that shocking if the vulnerabilities were not 0-days...
