first of all i am really annoyed by all those flash player updates. it just gets worse and worse everytime. as much as i love flash i have to admit the player is really buggy and just plain awful- im glad once flash is dead. you cant really do any smooth animations without lag and if you use it for videos well it isn't good either so html5 all the way (until we realized html5 sucks, too haha).
anyways flash player tells me: THERE IS AN UPDATE AVAIBLE - DOWNLOAD IT NOOOOAW!
once windows is booted but i am NOT connected to the internet. hey flash how can you know there is an update avaible?
it gives me reason to believe flash just claims there is an update every now and then to send some user data to adobe for them to keep track of.
