Those are some interesting articles. I agree that Flash is over-used for many things that should be done with HTML/JavaScript, however I don't think that Flash is going anywhere when it comes to games. You're not going to program a game in HTML 5, and if you would you leave all your assets and code exposed to be easily stolen. In addition there would be no easy way to distribute game packages as with .swf files. Anyone who thinks Flash is going to die doesn't realize the mass amounts of money involved with online games.

I think it's clear that Apple only hates Flash because it threatens their cut of money from the app store. However it has created a really nice revenue stream for game developers. You get people paying money for games that you'd never get them to pay for if it was on a website.
