Android Becomes Flash Mobile's First BFF

Uncertain future for Flash

,----[ Quote ]
| And it's not just YouTube that uses Flash, 
| almost all video sites do, as well as 
| online games sites and entertainment sites. 
| An older survey of websites by browser 
| maker Opera found that in most countries 
| around 30% of websites were built in or 
| contained Flash elements. And in some 
| countries that was as high as 40% or 50%. 
| So it's safe to say that as much as 30% of 
| the web relies in some or other way on 
| Flash.

The Growing Open-vs.-Proprietary Rift Between Google and Mozilla

,----[ Quote ]
| Cade Metz at The Register quotes Mozilla's 
| vice president of products, Jay Sullivan, 
| as saying that Mozilla has no intent to 
| bundle Firefox with Adobe Flash, as Google 
| has said it will do with Chrome. Instead, 
| Mozilla will pursue web standards, 
| including HTML5. Sullivan tells The 
| Register:
| 
|     "These native apps are just little 
|     black boxes in a webpage. That's not 
|     something we're pursuing. We really 
|     believe in HTML, and this is where we 
|     want to focus."

Mozilla Public License to be Updated?

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the key reasons that Mozilla and its technologies are open source is
| the Mozilla Public License (MPL). Now, the closely watched MPL may be seeing
| an update after remaining unchanged for years.
