Problem is, not enough people are aware that the Flash Player is corporate spyware, so not enough people are bothered about it, and you have to wonder how long it will take for people to realise that if Poser didn't depend on Flash, none of them would be having a "Flash-based" issue in the first place :-D

The Content Browser really should be integrated like it used to be, coded in whatever language the bulk of the program is coded in.

1. Every software that you get has the potential to be "corporate spyware" That's just the way things are. They make the software so they can gather any information that they want so long as they aren't stealing passwords or your personal files. Monitoring browsing habits is nothing new. Having applications communicating with the company's server is nothing new.  That's been going on for the longest.  The "corporate spyware" that you are complaining about, is the same thing that Microsoft does with all of its applications. My firewall application notifies me when any of my applications are "talking" to the server.
2. Do you ever read the Terms & Conditions for software?  The "corporate spyware" that you are complaining about as being "corporate spyware" is stated in their terms.  Section 7.7 Please note that the Adobe Privacy Policy allows tracking of website visits and it addresses in detail the topic of tracking and use of cookies, web beacons, and similar devices. This is small in comparison of what other applications doe, For example, phone applications go way beyond this sort of tracking and information gathering.  It's not spyware if they are telling you what they are doing.  The point of spyware is to get information without you knowing. If you don't want adobe talking to the server then block it with a firewall.

But most apple users don't use security software like firewalls so blocking it may is not possible and Mac users seem to be the only ones with this issue.
