It's amazing that a system intended for mark-up that had logic hacked into it (scripts literally embedded into mark-up files) and is dependent on a growing number of third-party browsers to render is...

I'll just say that those are some very expensive contraceptives.

Good to see you as well! :)



Always. Are you moving back to the states eventually?

Figured this would happen.

I don't see the mini changing much.

I think the yellow had become part of the Flashkit brand. So, it should return as the default, imo.

Also, not a fan of putting the nav and ads on the right. It creates a huge strip of dead space...

Because "forgiving and easy to learn" is not an engineering basis for selecting the most effective technology for a given purpose. It is a lazy or inexperienced individuals basis for selecting a...

I believe that the depressed economy is hurting flash. The space that it competes well in has had budgets cut in favor of more traditional marketing work.

I can't say that I have much confidence...

After a few years in this "post-flash" market, I now believe that the depressed economy is a larger culprit than I had thought. Flash hasn't fared well because many clients have scaled back...

Hah. Welcome to the club.

I don't think Romney claimed to have saved the auto industry. Perhaps the craziest thing about all of this is that anyone thinks the auto industry has been saved by anyone. Chrysler is now run by...

No. HTML5 is that kid everyone says is cute to please the parents but really knows that they're goofy looking. ;)

Hah. I'd say that prediction has pretty good odds.

Yeah. I didn't mean to suggest that Objective C is terrible (although it does indeed have its cons). It's just not nearly as ubiquitous as other platforms. Allowing for more ubiquitous platforms...

If Apple was concerned with "the highest quality possible" as they proclaim, they would have been the logical partners in this. Instead of taking advantage of the large, established community of...

I agree that those market forces were at play. However, I think that the players involved could have made different decisions and affected the outcome.

I can't say that I know the heart of Adobe...

I think that Adobe has botched Flash. Probably irreparably.

However, the demand for what Flash does well hasn't gone anywhere and hasn't been effectively replaced by another technology. HTML5...

In the interview, he doesn't really address the damning points that Notch brought up.

You can see in the demo that the "world" they created is just the same few objects repeated zillions of times....

So, when and how do developers have their Boston Tea Party moment?

Well. That was exciting for a moment...

It will be interesting to see what happens next.

I no longer have confidence that Adobe will properly navigate for Flash. However, if it does die out, the fact will remain that demand for what it...

However, they are continuing support past that for AIR on mobile. As mentioned, the future of interactivity on mobile devices is in apps. Not in browsing with Firefox on tiny screens, trying to click...

This may just be a difference in our anecdotal experience. Most people I've known and seen are using these devices for games and other apps with non-html like UIs. We have 2 ipads at our house that...

Except on web applications, which seem logically to become more wide-spread as people use mobile devices instead of desktop machines.



Being meant to be backward compatible and actually...

I get what you're saying. However, I think this is partially off.

I would wager that most experienced Flash devs also know HTML-based technologies (and could get jobs doing so). On the other hand,...

What type of connection do you use for digital video?

Not sure if that receiver will work. It doesn't have HDMI.
