I use Flash Block which I had downloaded thru App Store. I'm happy with it, as it gives me two options:
1. auto KILL FLASH on sight
2. kill only active flash when needed
I set option 1 as default
Having said that, Flash is bad on Windows too, M$ is ditching it on the Metro version of the upcoming IE 10 and is lending its support for HTML5 on the desktop side, and that coming from the creators of Silverlight. Adobe AIR uses Flex which runs underneath Flash, it's just a cross-platform runtime environment that lets Flash sneak back in on your desktop. Avoid both of them.

Microsoft pretty much said as much that Silverlight will not be developed any further. With Flash on the way out, there's no need for Silverlight.
Ditto for Flex - Adobe issues a double-talk press release, commenting to how much they are committed to Flex, that they are contributing it to an Open Source project.
For large corporations, Open Source = deathbed.
HTML 5 is the future - and it's quite gratifying to see the various nay-sayers from a year ago, proclaiming how essential Flash is to the web, now eating a hefty serving of crow.
It's even more gratifying that, even from beyond the grave, Steve Jobs is being vindicated by Adobe's defeat.

Desperate efforts by Blackberry to remain relevant - hard to do while losing 10-20% marketshare every quarter. Glad those dual-CEOs knw what they are doing.

in truth I'd want RIM to survive and prosper albeit san Lazaridis, who is the main culprit of the predicament they find themselves in. No, BB is a strong brand that does (or rather did) well in the enterprise. Conversely I look at the M$ & Nokia marriage as another attempt from the evil empire to bully & buy its way in another market. They succeeded in the past, I really hope they fail this time. If it does fail, we could witness their slow and painful demise to irrelevance...... and best of all the sacking of monkey-boy

Lots of disgruntled investors at the most recent MS shareholder meeting, and mumblings of asking for the removal of Ballmer.
The Nokia / Microsoft marriage will, ultimately, be the undoing of both - while I have no doubt that both will be able to claim huge *SHIPMENTS* of their products (which I have no doubt sheep like snaprk and tezza will immediately quote as a sign of success), I suspect that ultimately they won't crack 5% of the smartphone market, in actual product sold, much less in products used.
Look at recent NPD market observations:
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/npd_iphone_3gs_outsold_every_android_smartphone_in_q3/
the 3 year old iPhone 3GS has outsold EVERY SINGLE Android phone in the market.
Furthermore, TPM shows a significant decline in web-share for Microsoft browsers since 2007 (when the iPhone was released) :

Dropping from 78% to 57% in less than 4 years is a serious decline, and it'd doesn't appear to be slowing, as people are adopting iPads, iPods, and iPhones...

in manufacturing terms that is classified as Sell In, whilst the measurement of success of a product is quantified in the Sell Out, which is how many units are bought by the end users. In other words, Coca-Cola manufactures drinks and sell them to Walmart (sell in), in turn Walmart sells Coke to you and me, the consumers / end users (sell out).
If you notice, phone manufacturers (and software vendors too, Google & M$ being the worst offenders) are quick off the mark in publishing sell in figures but not so forthcoming in telling us the sell out data. Crafty innit?

Good observation in your last paragraph, and it appears that the likes of tezza or snpark lack those observational skills - despite having this pointed numerous times to them. Oh well, kids....
You are correct, manufacturers always quite sell in numbers, but considering that Apple stores are frequently sold out of stock by afternoon, and Apple also sells huge quantities direct, we can assume a pretty good correlation between sell in and sell out numbers, when it comes to Apple.
Microsoft on the other hand ships everything to a single huge distribution warehouse, and declares those numbers as "shipped" - even if product never leaves that warehouse. 
That's why secondary observations yield far more accurate *use* numbers - like distribution of mobile web browsers, or distribution of mobile platforms observed using in-flight Internet or airport based hotspots (hovering around the 80% mark, last time) - and finally let's not forget that while the Android camp claims "large" marketshare, Apple still owns and collects 2/3rds of all profits in the entire mobile phone market space. Not bad work, if you can get it.
