Err... isn't HK responsible for the SoundSticks, the Cube and digital audio sphere speakers, and the iPod headphones, among other things?

You don't have the latest version of Macromedia Flash Player.
This web site makes use of Macromedia� FlashTM software. You have an old version of Macromedia Flash Player that cannot play the content we've created.
Why not download and install the latest version now?
It will only take a moment.
Macromedia and Flash are trademarks of Macromedia, Inc.
I have Flash 9 installed.

Harmon Kardon produced the original iMac speakers, the Apple Pro Speakers (those spherical doodads), the iSub, and the SoundSticks. If they do indeed hate Macs, then this is a major turnaround for them.

He says this because he is getting a pop up requiring him to install the latest version of the Flash Plug-In, which he already has.
Calm down people and read for once.

I always wanted an iSub and Soundsticks, but my god are they on the expensive side of things. You're paying for a lot of style there. I knew some people in college who actually bought them and in my opinion, they were more about style and less about music quality. (Though that might just be me)

I thought it was the 2nd gen iMac that had the HK speakers in it... The ruby/sage/indigo/snow ones...

You are correct - the iMacs that introduced the HK speakers were the 2G ones that had the actually transparent cases where you could see the components inside (as opposed to the original iMacs which had a colored shell around a metallic casing). They were the ones where you had the choice between the iMac DV with FireWire and a DVD-ROM or the cheap one that only had USB and wasn't good for much except e-mail.

Almost right, those are generally referred to as the slot loading iMacs. The 2G iMacs would have been the Bondi ones with a 266Mhz G3 in them. And the original Bondis and fruit flavoured Macs had transparent cases, but the slot loaders were more translucent and more of the components could be seen.
And by the way I love my JBL creatures.

And we are saying that it works fine for us and that he should check their system. I'm calm. You seem agitated.

Maybe I should blame flash more than Harman Kardon's website. I've sometimes had problems with Flash video playback on various machines... but only Macs.

Yep. Blame Macromedia/Adobe.

They hate them so much they had Apple design their SoundsSticks for them and still sell them 6 years later.

That was with my iMac. I just tried it with my MacBook and get the same popup, but could surf the site.
No popup error message with Camino though.

I'm unsure as to your meaning with this comment.
Is it a confirmation of love of Harmon stuff or an aside saying you prefer JBL to Harmon?

I get the pop-up also, but I close the pop-up window and click through the various links, and as far as I can tell, all Flash related items play properly.
I'm using 10.4.8.

Gee, I hope they're friendly..........

Actually, they don't. They're siblings, both owned by Harmon International.
Just wanted to know if Salty was aware of this fact because without knowing his level of knowledge on the matter it's hard to know what his comment was intended to mean.

I turned off the pop-up blocker in Safari, and then, yes, I get the same pop-up. The site still works of course. With the pop-up blocker on I didn't notice anything and couldn't tell what the original poster meant. His post lacked all the necessary detail to reproduce the glitch.

The reason people are getting errors saying they don't have Flash installed even though they do is because they have Flash Player 9 (and popup blocking off). The Flash detection script is hard coded to only recognize up to version 8 of Flash Player.
This happens a lot when a new version of Flash Player comes out.

I love my original soundsticks. I originally purchased them to go with my G4 Cube, now they continue to work just fine on my G5 PowerMac and occasionally on my G4 PowerBook.
Fortunately the Mac never obsoleted the USB audio interface (which the G4 Cube required.)
