Google Issues Search Results Warning For Sites Using Flash

Google Flash Mobile WarningGoogle announced that if you conduct a Google search on your iOS or Android device and a site that comes up is built in Flash technology, they will warn the searcher not to click to the site because it would be a bad user experience.
