Google bakes Flash in Chrome

Is it too early to declare Adobe’s Flash dead? Microsoft and Apple nemesis Google plans to provide direct support for Flash in the Chrome browser. Asavin Wattanajantra:

Flash is still the dominant form of media for online video, but if Google had taken the same attitude as Apple then the long term viability of Flash might have begun to fall under a cloud.

Flash is still everywhere you want video to be—except in Apple’s iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Still, implementation of the HTML 5 audio and video specification continues to grow.
