I am curious to know why Apple had restrictions which, until recently, prevented Mozilla from making an iOS version of Firefox, and why they recently did away with them. Late last decade, I was curious to know why Apple prevented Adobe from making an iOS version of Flash Player. I later learned it was because Steve Jobs believed it was very insecure and riddled with bugs. With all the zero-day attacks on Adobe Flash Player this month, it makes sense as to why Firefox Security and Facebook believe Adobe should announce an end-of-life date for Flash Player and move on to something modern, like HTML5, for example. I've been using Adobe Flash since the days of Internet Explorer 6, and I've never run into any significant issues. But even I would like to see its last day!

During Christmas of 2013, the lack of Firefox was one of the reasons why I asked my father for a laptop running Windows with a touchscreen and 8 GB of RAM instead of an iPad Air. Now that Firefox is going to be available for iOS later this year, and that the iPad Air 2 has a respectable 2 GB of RAM instead of a less-than-desktop-class 1 GB, I am eager to know what the successor to the iPad Air 2 will be like when it is released perhaps in October. The iPad Air 2 has many of the hardware improvements I was looking forward to throughout 2014, and I can only expect the hardware to become even more powerful one more year into the future.
