The Adobe Flash platform is the top poster child of an insecure program that is completely incapable of being patched - perhaps intentionally so. People's very lives can depend on tracking hazardous weather (read: TORNADOES) in real time, but they should not be forced into using a proprietary, closed-source, endlessly vulnerable platform such as Flash (NOT TO MENTION THE PURCHASE / MAINTENANCE COSTS TO TAXPAYERS) that exposes their computers and personal information to hackers the world over. It is long past the time to replace the Flash virus with the open-source HTML5 stack.
