Is 2011 like 1994 for Apple, Twitter, Facebook, and the Web? Fact: In 1994 I thought Apple was going to own it all. By 1999 most magazines thought it was dead. Fact: In 1992 Pointcast shipped. By 1999 it was dead. What changed the course of all these technologies? Developers and content producers. I remember Pointcast well. Lots of people thought it was killed by lack of low-cost Internet (their business just didn’t work back then. No, what killed Pointcast was its lack of openness. It was beautiful. But it pissed me off. Sure seems a lot like Time Magazine does on the iPad. Guess what? So why haven’t I returned my iPad if its major content partners behave just like Pointcast’s did? What did Pointcast in (content publisher greed) isn’t what did Apple in, though. Not that Apple was all that wrong. What did Steve Jobs do yesterday? Now WHY would he do such a thing? Nah. But what apps are really getting people to buy? So, what does Apple need? No, what Apple needs is better quality apps. Well, easy, make it against the rules! Will that change?
My take on the Flash controversy | GottaBeMobile Some users are having a great experience, but others have run into a variety of iPhone SE 3 problems. We’ve heard about many of the issues plaguing Apple’s iPhone SE 3 and most of the issues are related to the iOS 16 and iOS 15 software that powers the phone. We haven’t heard about any serious widespread iPhone SE 3 issues, but that could change as more people buy the phone and as current owners put more milage on their devices. In this guide we’ll take you through the most common iPhone SE 3 issues, potential fixes for these problems, places to find feedback about iPhone SE 3 performance, and a look at what’s in the iOS pipeline for the device. iPhone SE 3 Problems Unsurprisingly, we’ve seen complaints about iPhone SE 3 activation issues. If you’re having issues activating your new device, check Apple’s System Status page. If the symbol is green and the activation process still isn’t working, make sure you have a SIM card inserted in your iPhone SE 3. iPhone SE 3 Performance
Scribd CTO: “We Are Scrapping Flash And Betting The Company On H Adobe’s much-beleaguered Flash is about to take another hit and online documents are finally going to join the Web on a more equal footing. Today, most documents (PDFs, Word docs, Powerpoint slides) can mostly be viewed only as boxed off curiosities in a Flash player, not as full Web pages. Tomorrow, online document sharing site Scribd will start to ditch Flash across its tens of millions of uploaded documents and convert them all to native HTML5 Web pages. Not only will these documents look great on the iPad’s no-Flash browser (see screenshots), but it will bring the richness of fonts and graphics from documents to native Web pages. Scribd co-founder and chief technology officer Jared Friedman tells me: “We are scrapping three years of Flash development and betting the company on HTML5 because we believe HTML5 is a dramatically better reading experience than Flash. Documents will simply become very long Web pages. Poor Adobe.
MacDailyNews “Opera has joined in the argument over Flash, with the company telling TechRadar that they will support Flash for the time being, but that the company needs to start embracing web standards if it doesn’t want to come under constant attack,” Patrick Goss reports for TechRadar UK. “Opera’s product analyst Phillip Grønvold believes that support for Flash is critical at the current time, but that times are changing fast as HTML5 moves closer,” Goss reports. “‘Flash does have its purposes and will have its purposes, the same as [Microsoft’s] Silverlight and others, especially for dynamic content,’ Grønvold said. ‘But flash as a video container makes very little sense for CPU, WiFi battery usage etcetera – you can cook an egg on [devices] once you start running Flash on them and there’s a reason for that.'” Goss reports, “…It is clear that the web giants are not rushing to defend Adobe from the might of Apple, and that in itself speaks volumes.” Full article here.

With More Flash, Is Google About To Cut Off The HTML5 Nose To Sp Google isn’t talking, but what we’re hearing is that this could be related to the Open Screen Project that Google signed up for late last year. The project, started by Adobe a year ago, aims to give web developers a unified platform for content across a range of devices. The reason Google cares about this is its Android mobile operating system, and undoubtedly its future foray into netbooks with Chrome OS later this year. CNET’s report is short on details other than talk of a “deeper partnership” between Google and Adobe that may see Flash integrated into the Chrome browser more-so than it already is. What that means isn’t clear at all, since Flash is brought to all browsers by way of a plug-in that’s included with almost all browsers already. Of course, how plug-ins will work in Chrome OS isn’t entirely clear yet either, so it is possible this partnership could mean something along those lines. [photo: flickr/jem]
Adobe to unify ColdFusion, Flex, Flash with Flash Builder 4 Adobe announced Monday that it has updated and changed the name of its Flex Builder IDE. Now called Flash Builder 4, it incorporates support for the now open source Flex 4 framework, as well as integrating an IDE for ColdFusion development. "We changed the name because the new Builder product encompasses more than just the Flex framework," group product manager for the Flash Platform Dave Gruber told Infoworld. Flash Builder 4 includes support for Adobe's still beta Flash Catalyst rapid UI design tool, which, along with Flex 4, will enable designers to work on the front-end independently of back-end development. The new Eclipse-based ColdFusion Builder IDE is something that Adobe says developers have been asking for for some time. Adobe has also announced the Flash Platform Social Service, which enables developers to easily connect their Flash-based applications to popular social networks without having to write specific integration code.
Adobe’s Open Screen Project: Bigger Than the iPhone – GigaOM Adobe today unveiled a new version of Flash in an effort to expand support for the popular technology beyond the traditional Internet to mobile phones, netbooks, set-top boxes and other connected consumer devices. Flash Player 10.1 will run on platforms including Google’s Android, Research In Motion’s BlackBerry, Microsoft’s Windows Mobile, Nokia’s Symbian and Palm’s webOS. Conspicuous in its absence, of course, was Apple’s iPhone. While Adobe has said it is working with Apple, there’s still no word on a version for the iPhone — which dominates traffic on the wireless web. However, Adobe made another announcement today — it has updated the participants in its Open Screen Project, an 18-month-old initiative promoting Flash to bridge the substantial gaps that exist between the “PC web” and other platforms such as mobile and consumer devices, to include Google and RIM.
