trying to stay relevant, Adobe embraces html5

Flash is best, flash is best, flash is best. It's all you'll ever need.

Wait, we better do some HTML5 stuff so we don't want to get left behind.




Nice of them to join the party.

Kudos to Lee Brimelow - Adobe Evangelist

Apple's mobile products do not do flash. Apple's CEO has said that flash is a buggy CPU hog and a security risk.

Lee Brimelow works for Adobe - the company behind flash. In his latest blog post the comments are tuned off because "I’m not interested in hearing from the Cupertino Comment SPAM bots"

Nicely put, kudos to you Mr. Brimelow.

Snapdragon running Flash 10.1 on 3 devices with 3 different OS platforms

The Lenovo Skylight, the HTC HD2, and the Google Nexus One, each using a different OS (custom Linux, Winmobile 6.5, and Android respectively) all running Flash 10.1 on live websites. Very impressive.

Apple may not be in the Flash camp, but flash still runs many many web sites and video content. Flash will continue to do so for many years. I’m glad Snapdragon devices support it.

Bonus - the Skylight has a wireless USB mouse plugged into it. Looks great using standard equipment like that.

Dumping Adobe Acrobat

I’ve made a clean break from Adobe’s acrobat. Now using cutePDF for printing to PDF and foxit for reading.

I had some trouble getting foxit to open inside Google Chrome. This thread fixed me up.

So far, much faster response time with these two tools. Also, no more annoying tool bar buttons that won’t go away no matter how many times I un-check them.

Bonus, my company doesn’t have to pay for an Acrobat Pro license.
