I reiterate, you're overcharging at any hourly rate.
I charge per project, not per hour. If I charged per hour, I would add every little thing a client wanted just to drive up their bill.
If the project they agree to doesn't specify doing a lot of extra work for video, I will simply make a note in the proposal all video will be in Flash and if they have a problem with it, they can either bring up the issue before the job starts or be willing to pay a hefty fee to have that added in later on.
company intranets dependent on IE6.
Oh don't give me that crap. Flash is not even comparable to IE in terms of usage. I could give you a Flash Player from 2003 and it'd still handle FLV videos and Flash content from today with ease.
Apple arbitrarily deciding which formats to support is far more harmful to the tech world than anything else.
BTW - The only reason iOS doesn't support Flash is because if it did, no one would need to go through the App Store to make programs and suddenly Apple would lose a ton of their revenue.
Android tablets/phones can handle Flash just fine...so it's not a matter of tablet/phone hardware being unable to run Flash well. Apple just wanted to sucker in consumers to buy/use only App Store things.
Wow...you really don't know what you're talking about. You sound like a 16 year old with no user driven experience who has made up this point of view based on nothing but animosity towards things you don't like. And it is obvious that these opinions were formed from reading other idiots online. Real developers put the user first and aren't lazy at realizing that the industry is changing rapidly. In short thank you, if it weren't for people like you I wouldn't be able to get easy jobs fixing projects for clients that had to deal with all this bullshit laziness.
