Adobe To Open Real-Time Messaging Protocol

Posted by timothy on from the after-jabber dept.

synodinos writes "Adobe has announced plans to publish the Real-Time Messaging Protocol specification, which is designed for high-performance transmission of audio, video, and data between Adobe Flash Platform technologies. This move that has followed the opening of the AMF spec has been received with varying degrees of enthusiasm from the RIA community."

    Please? Can someone fix the topic?

    Bad Timothy!

    Give the guy a break, he was using speech recognition software and eating a slice of pizza and drinking a large Pepsi at the time. At first what he uttered was recognized as: "A booby too open feel them massaging pro thug all."

    BTW, Flash. Must. Die.

    PDF isn't a proprietary format. It's ISO 19005-1:2005

    I think it's good that some companies, like Adobe, are realizing it makes good business sense to open up these protocols. However let's also be aware that Adobe is perfectly willing to tighten the screws further in other areas when they feel like THAT makes business sense. Anyone who (like me) uses any of their CS3 or CS4 products has dealt with this.

    Actually, I should say the first install of CS3 or CS4 goes pretty well, and activation is painless. But if you've got it at home and at work - which is perfectly acceptable according to their EULA - then have a computer suddenly die, prepare to invest a lot of time in trying to get the licensing sorted out just so you can do your work.

    So my (long-winded) point is: Good for Adobe, but let's not give them too much credit for this.

    True. The recent improvements to Okular and Evince have made viewing pdfs on Linux really nice (for me anyways, and I have a ton of pdfs). Pages load fast, display nicely, and don't seriously tax my cpu, even on my slower, older, single core laptop. Some of these are the same pdfs that tax my faster (and with 3 times the memory) Windows XP desktop running Acrobat Reader.
