Will Flash Ever Be a Standard?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday, I caught wind of some good news. It was the kind of good news that
| is immediately good for me and ultimately good for Linux. It was announced by
| MLB Advanced Media, major league baseball's online division, that video on
| MLB.com would no longer be delivered via Microsoft's Silverlight format but
| instead with Adobe Flash technology.
|
| Given that there are a few Flash clients for Linux, including Adobe's own
| native player, and that there are, oh, no Silverlight players for Linux, the
| obvious benefit for me (and other baseball fans) is that we should be able to
| watch more baseball action on our Linux machines. (It wasn't too easy to feel
| sorry for Microsoft, either.)

Expanding the Mobile Web
,----[ Quote ]
| Specifically, the companies say that Adobe's Flash Player 10 and AIR (a
| platform for building complex Web applications) will be compatible and
| optimized for the ARM chips available in 2009. While ARM is used in a huge
| number of mobile phones, the announcement has broader implications: the chips
| are also used in set-top boxes, mobile Internet devices, personal media
| players, and automotive platforms.

Those ARM-powered gadgets cannot run a decent version of Windows. They also
scare Intel, which has begun throwing FUD at ARM and issued profit warnings
that crashed its crime-boosted stock.

ARM and Adobe join up
,----[ Quote ]
| Considering some of the most popular websites on the interweb today use FLV
| as a video format for their... uhm... videos, it’s no surprise that Arm and
| Adobe are teaming up to catch the mobile device choo-choo.
