Native Client: A Technology for Running Native Code on the Web
,----[ Quote ]
| Modern PCs can execute billions of instructions per second, but today's web
| applications can access only a small fraction of this computational power. If
| web developers could use all of this power, just imagine the rich, dynamic
| experiences they could create. At Google we're always trying to make the web
| a better platform. That's why we're working on Native Client, a technology
| that aims to give web developers access to the full power of the client's CPU
| while maintaining the browser neutrality, OS portability and safety that
| people expect from web applications. Today, we're sharing our technology with
| the research and security communities in the hopes that they will help us
| make this technology more useful and more secure.

Adobe Pushes DRM for Flash
,----[ Quote ]
| Now Adobe, which controls Flash and Flash Video, is trying to change that
| with the introduction of DRM restrictions in version 9 of its Flash Player
| and version 3 of its Flash Media Server software. Instead of an ordinary web
| download, these programs can use a proprietary, secret Adobe protocol to talk
| to each other, encrypting the communication and locking out non-Adobe
| software players and video tools. We imagine that Adobe has no illusions that
| this will stop copyright infringement -- any more than dozens of other DRM
| systems have done so -- but the introduction of encryption does give Adobe
| and its customers a powerful new legal weapon against competitors and
| ordinary users through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
