Samsung Galaxy Tab Review: A Pocketable Train Wreck
Why do people want Flash on these devices again?
There is no job that plugins are the right tool for. Saying that plugins ‘have their place’ is ignorant and complacent.
This will replace Flash.
[Starbucks CIO] also said that iDevices from Apple are used more in its stores than any others. How important is that? Well, Gillett wanted to use Flash on the social network, but there wasn’t any way he could because of Steve Jobs’ refusal to support Flash.
So, Starbucks built its system using HTML5.
”Starbucks CIO shows why next version of Windows is “risky business” for Microsoft (and why iOS is the best thing to ever happen to the Open Web).
Another gem from this interview: “He said that laptop usage is flat, or even slightly declining, and that mobile usage [including tablets like iPad] is on fire and growing a great percentage every month.”
I know this is old news but I’ve just seen it and I LOVE IT!
Amazing. This reminds me of the kinds of effects I would look at when I was first learning to use Flash, and now Flash is no longer needed. Hooray!
Radio Broadcasters and RIAA Want To Make FM Chips in Cell Phones Required By Law
Absurd indeed. Why do they want FM radios in everything when there are much better alternatives. Oh, is it because they don’t make much off of those? Why doesn’t the RIAA create their own free music streaming service? Oh, because they’re dinosaurs who don’t understand the web?
Adrianne Jeffries, writing for ReadWriteWeb:
Vimeo is releasing a ‘universal player’ today that allows user to watch embedded Vimeo videos on mobile devices including the iPhone and iPad using the video playback capability built into the new HTML5 standard.
Awesome!
Also announced is an Instapaper-style feature:
Vimeo also announced a ‘watch later’ button today that will cue videos up in a playlist for users to catch up on when they get home from work.
Excellent! I have a “To Watch” playlist on YouTube for this same purpose, but a quick button click is much easier.
There was 5 exabytes [5 billion gigabytes] of information created between the dawn of civilization through 2003, but that much information is now created every 2 days, and the pace is increasing…
People aren’t ready for the technology revolution that’s going to happen to them.
”The government respond to the petition about upgrading to IE6. Oh dear, what a fail indeed.
They will need to update in 2014 when IE6 reaches ‘end of life’ anyway but their slowness at this is a big disappointment and holds back the web.
