What? Sure you can--Flash is one of the only ways to reliably access the client clipboard. And if you're concerned about SEO of Flash content, display plain text to crawlers or read Adobe's SEO whitepapers: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/seo/

From what I hear most viable start-ups (those with traction) are having an easy time finding VC. It's the 2nd and 3rd tier companies that can't find capital.

That is absolutely beautiful. Can someone with more Theory knowledge comment on the relationship between squares? I can't seem to find a single ugly chord!

None of this is very notable, but there was also Wirehog: a web app Zuck (et. al.) wrote to share files over Facebook. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirehog

Here's a hands-on impression http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/57855 The bottom line: the compression algorithm needs some work, and latency, even with GDC's optimal setup, is noticeable. Sounds like the service is still a few years a

I totally agree. Gestures on the iPhone work well because your hand is resting in a natural position. This is more or less true with track pads as well. If you're going to support mouse gestures, the system must be sensitive enough to act o

We implemented gestures in an early version of ipaper. Unfortunately it wasn't very usable. The physical analog -- swiping pages -- is far more comfortable than the same motion with a mouse. Incidentally we chose to watch cursor acceleratio

(throws voice) ooo, is that a new slideshow mode?

I bet most users wouldn't leave facebook for $12. Interestingly I doubt most would pay $12 for the service, either.

This is actually something I've considered working on. And no, it's not impossible! It could be implemented as a flash llvm front-end with an objective C emitter. You'd also need to write a Flash VM in objective C, which I haven't looked se

Unfortunately it's slow as hell. Scott's presentation at MAX showed his Doom port running fluidly, so we know it can be done. With any luck we'll see optimization tips shared soon.
