i heard this was coming but had no idea it had come. HotBot parsed a SWF on
a client site, extracted the text information and indexed it.

wow.

i figured if HotBot did, Google does too. i still can't believe it. the
science is impressive but the sheer capacity this implies is becoming
staggering.

in terms of raw computing power, these guys have got to be close to
rivalling...whoever has the greatest raw capacity...the NSA?

i'd guess it's in those cases where text us entered as such into a movie. if
they can't pase captchas, they can't parse embedded visual media(?).

i don't rely on Flash at all where i can fight my way out of it. i abhor the
stuff.
