Flash is coming to the iPhone, thanks to Gordon
,----[ Quote ]
| Schneider (pictured right, next to Flash
| Gordon) married up Javascript with the
| iPhone's inbuilt support for Scalable
| Vector Graphics (SVG), an open-source
| competitor to Flash, which hasn't taken off
| to the same extent as Flash, due to the
| fact that Adobe had years of head-start in
| terms of getting the software installed on
| virtually all PCs.

Web code is already open - why not make it free as well
,----[ Quote ]
| Oh dear. After the debacle with Microsoft
| Polandâs apparent racist photoshopping,
| Microsoft China went and got the company in
| hot water for allegedly âstealingâ code.
| Yes you read that right: Microsoft and
| wholesale âtheftâ of code from another
| website. Of course itâs not âtheftâ itâs
| copyright infringement but tomayto/tomarto.
| Microsoft confessed blaming a vendor they
| had worked with. No surprise really but the
| damage to their name may have already been
| done. Thereâs more to discuss here than
| Microsoftâs already tarnished reputation
| though. The issue raises some important
| points in favour of free software and
| points to why more if not all code should
| benefit from free licencing.

And So It Begins Again: Microsoft Joins SVG Group
,----[ Quote ]
| The primary point of interest to me in this
| is the idea of Microsoft joining a Working
| Group for a technology that it has been
| pointedly ignoring for 11 years, and for
| which Microsoft can boast an industry
| leading 0.00% support for in its latest
| and greatest browser.
|
| What exactly is Microsoft going to
| contribute here? What deep pool of SVG
| experience and credibility gets Microsoft a
| seat at the table?
|
| [...]
|
| In any case, now the W3C will probably be
| burning calories proving Microsoft hasnât
| corrupted the W3C ISO-OOXML style.

,----[ Quote ]
