Multi-Platform App Created Using Single Code Base

andylim writes in with news of a reasonably impressive demonstration of the multi-platform capabilities of Adobe AIR. "Christian Cantrell, a technical product manager at Adobe, has created an app for multiple platforms including OS X, Windows 7, Ubuntu, Android, iPhone OS, and iPad OS. What's amazing is that all the platforms use the same code base. 'The application is called iReverse, and it's a fully functional Reversi game (complete with a pretty decent AI). Although iReverse is fun to play, the most amazing thing about the project is the fact that it runs in all these different environments completely unchanged. In other words, the exact same code base is used to build versions for five different environments. There's no other platform in the world that can boast this level of flexibility — not even close.'" Cantrell says he will open-source the code for iReverse and document how he pulled this off.

    "Jews for Nerds"? Obviously, in your case, it's more like "News for jerks".

    For a master race that controls the world, we sure get a lot a crap. I mean, everytime i hear that someone wants to convert, I say, look we have 2,000 years of history that runs the gamut from bad to awfull to genocide, hwy on earth would you wnat to convert - surely you don't want to do that to your children ? true story: in the 60's my parents are thinging of emigrating to israel, so they talk to the consulate, and the guy says you know, we have the law of return, the moment you step foot on israeli soil, you are a citizen. MY dad says, what if nonjews claim they are jews ? the israeli consular officer looks at him, and says, yeah, right....
