A quick reminder on 64-bit Flash
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, Flash sucks. But many of us need it for
| one site or another. And lots of us are
| running 64-bit Linux these days, where Adobe
| has famously refused (so far) to update the
| plugin for the recent serious vulnerabilities
| in Flash, leaving us between a rock and a
| hard place.

Emergence Of 64-Bit Adobe Flash
,----[ Quote ]
| The wide use of 64 â bit editions of Linux,
| Mac, OS X and Windows has hit a spot for
| Adobe. But with this pressure, why did Adobe
| withdraw its 64 â bit Adobe Flash Player
| version?

What's the future for Adobe's 64-bit Flash?
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows, Mac OS X and Linux 64-bit versions
| are now in widespread use, and software for
| the operating systems is following suit. So
| it may seem a bit backward that Adobe
| withdrew its only 64-bit version of Flash
| Player.

Adobe says 64-bit flash is coming
,----[ Quote ]
| Adobe had a version of Flash which ran on
| 64-bit versions of Linux while Windows
| users were stuck in 32 bit. This week it
| seems that rather than releasing a 64-bit
| version for Windows has, in its wisdom,
| pulled the Linux version.

Adobe moves mobile Flash from rhetoric to reality
,----[ Quote ]
| Also due to get Flash Player 10.1 are
| Palm's WebOS, Research in Motion's
| BlackBerry OS, Nokia's Symbian, the MeeGo
| version of Linux from Intel and Nokia, and
| Windows Phone 7--though not at that
| operating system's debut, Murarka said.
| Many companies will pre-install Flash
| Player 10.1 on their phones through deals
| Adobe is hammering out, but in the case of
| Google, those with Froyo phones will be
| able to download it directly from the
| Android Market.

| Flash Player 10.1 is now available for
| Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. You
| can get it now. Flash Player 10.1 for Android
| will be coming later this month - the beta
| release is currently available in the Android
| market.

Proprietary Software Traps - Adobe Flash
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been working on a project for work
| involving the re-use of older (6-8 years
| old) PCs and laptops using Ubuntu 10.04
| LTS, with the goal of distributing them to
| some of our tech-impoverished Georgia
| libraries (nothing's firm yet - still in
| the exploratory phase). These were state
| library staff members' computers from
| maybe 2 generations ago and if they are
| not re-used, they'll be surplused or
| discarded. As I was installing and
| configuring Ubuntu, it occurred to me that
| since we would be redistributing whatever
| software we install, we are constrained
| about what we can include when they are
| sent out. Ubuntu, as-is, is all free
| software and all included packages can be
| redistributed freely. However, installing
| Adobe Flash, Sun (or Oracle) Java, or many
| proprietary A/V codecs or device drivers,
| makes it illegal to redistribute.
