It is no surprise that Steve Jobs do not like Flash (in its current State), as we all know Millions of iPhones are Flashless just because Apple thinks Current state of Flash is not good enough. Now we have some more info  & tit-bits confirming Steves Anit-Flash Approach.

Building on comments reportedly made by Apple CEO Steve Jobs at a town hall meeting for company employees last month, Valleywagclaims that Jobs focused a significant amount of effort during his recent visit to The Wall Street Journal on selling newspaper executives on the need to move away from Adobe Flash for digital content.

Jobs was brazen in his dismissal of Flash, people familiar with the meeting tell us. He repeated what he said at an Apple Town Hall recently, that Flash crashes Macs and is buggy.

But he also called Flash a “CPU hog,” a source of “security holes” and, in perhaps the most grevious insult an famous innovator can utter, a dying technology. Jobs said of Flash, “We don’t spend a lot of energy on old technology.”

According to the report, Jobs then shared a list of technologies such as floppy drives, data port standards, and CCFL-backlit LCDs that Apple had helped computer users abandon in favor of newer technologies.
