I wouldn't underestimate the power of a small number of geeks. If 100,000 ordinary people are blocked from Flash because Adobe thought dealing with their device was beneath them, then nothing much is going to happen.<p>If 100,000 geeks can't access a site on their iPhone then you're going to see an alternative or two arise.<p>I've been using solutions on both Ubuntu and Mac OS X to let me view Youtube content without Flash for about a year. You don't think the existance and ecstatic use of these tools sends a message to those within Google, even if only the fellow geeks?
