The impression I got from (briefly) reading the Adobe Labs page on slider is that it still would require all existing content to be re-written for it... which really negates the main reason for Flash on the Ipad: the dearth of existing Fla

uhh... actually that is covered: "A) The best case: every Flash app on every site is re-thought by its designers and re-coded by its programmers (if they’re even still available), just for touchscreens. They wouldn’t use mouseovers any more

But it does tend to stick out, when spoken (not in print). When people say something sarcastically, they don't say it deadpan and straight. There is usually at least some difference in their tone of voice, though its not necessarily an over

I had some serious deja vu when reading the anecdote about a woman and camera software. I was in pretty much the exact same situation, except it involved my Mac... so not only was it about to be tainted with crappy software written by hardw

I think Myspace still has the band/musician space, largely because what Myspace allows and Facebook doesn't (restyling the page, embedded music player) are pretty necessary to artists asserting their brand identity. Which is really the main

The really stupid thing about this is that most of the kinds of material that Conroy makes a big deal about (child porn, fetish porn, etc) is already banned on Youtube. The kinds of things that they're asking Google to go the effort of filt

"You can't "own it"." Well sure you can... you can patent it. In that case, making use of even an F/OSS implementation (such as x264) doesn't guarantee that you have not infringed upon MPEG LA's patents (where they are applicable/enforced).
