This is a silly movement. Flash isn't going anywhere, and there's no reason for it to. "HTML5" isn't finalized, well supported, and is (in my experience) almost always slower than the equivalent Flash code. Flash is supposedly bringing fullscreen support and right-click functionality too, one of my biggest gripes with the technology.
I support open source, I want HTML5 to replace Flash, but we're not nearly there yet. Wait for the technology to mature.

This 'occupy' meme needs to die.
Also, like it or not, HTML5 is not yet ready to replace Flash (both in the technologies it makes available and the level of adoption). Let's get there first.

How Occupy Wall Street and Flash are related is beyond me. Seems to me this group is over-zealous in their crusade to eliminate Flash, their near-religious devotion clouding their judgement.
