How do you scribble notes? (I did not see anything on their site. Is it with a pen? This is one of the few cases I think a pen would be handy on a device.
If it was slightly bigger and had a way to quickly mark up the text, it would have real promise.
Except of course that iPhone et. al will run any media in a supported format without anyone paying a penny to Apple. They fully support the development of video streaming and web based applications using HTML5 (or anything else that is based on a standard). If Adobe opened up flashplayer and allowed development on devices (read their agreement), there is a fairly good chance flash interpreters would be built in to every browser. Browsers could compete for performance of flash, and you would see flash on iPhones. Apple correctly stated their reasons for not supporting flash. Everything else being said is just speculation by people who don't like Apple for whatever.
P.S. It costs Apple money to distribute all of the free Apps currently in the App store.
If Adobe carried out their open source promise, you would most likely see a flash interpreter built into Webkit and from there it would be a short trip to iP* land..If Adobe wants to get Apple they should carry through with the Open Source project promise they made two years ago.
Not sure why this was modded flame post. Adobe said the same thing to all of us in their post. Someone fix this poor guys rating. The story says fuck you people of the internet, use flash or die. (I know I paraphrased). This nice fellow responds "Fuck You!", kind of a right-back-at-you not flamebait...
Adobes license agreement requires fees for distributing a flash player on devices or to install a flash player without an unmodified Adobe installer. They promised to drop the fees in 2008 but have not found the time to modify the license agreement. They are too busy making statements about how great they art...
And if it ever caught up and reached significant market penetration, Adobe would sue them. Read their FAQ and the Adobe license agreement for Flash player and you will understand the dance the gnash developers are doing.
You are incorrect in fact. Go to Adobe's page and read the current license agreement which still requires license fees to distribute a flash player on devices without fees or in any form outside of an Adobe created installer.
The Open Source project started two years ago, but never completed. The part that never completed is in fact the most important part.
And if you tried to make a plugin that ran anywhere they would either A. Simply change the standard (they have done it before) or B. Sue you for royalties (it is in their license agreement).
And there are many things Adobe does in fact make people write that check for. It is Amazing how many think anyone can create a flash player and not pay Adobe any money. Those folks might try reading Adobe's license agreement.
You should read the Gnash FAQ and you will understand their shaky legal ground. Once they "get there" Adobe will just sue the crap out of them. Unless of course Adobe keeps their "Open Source Project" promise before then. But in that promise they said they would drop the devices royalty for flash player on mobiles and for people making their own flash players. Somehow in 2 years that magical day has not yet come.
I agree with you , but it is amazing how willfully educational institutions can be. They have slapped down an arbitrary no Linux requirement. They fail to recognize that Linux is used for trusted systems in every sector of industry and government.
You said a lot, here is no real point in responding as your entire premise is false.
We can have standards based on ethical behavior or we can have all this lunacy brought about by power hungry social conservatives. The world would be a much better place without the social conservatives. God has no place in government or public education.
I agree with some of your later points to an extent. I do not believe however, that you would find many liberals who support minor teenagers having sex. You.will find now shortage of social conservatives who believe homosexuals should be jailed.
Are you sure Florida and California make text purchasing decisions statewide? (I actually don't know). The article seemed to indicate that the reason Texas had an influence as a larger purchaser were because it was a large state that made statewide purchasing decisions.
I do not believe that this system is at all common across the country.
His "example" proved my point. It is obvious the moderators today are the anti-apple crowd though:) I had a fine answer to it. If he can not share an Internet connection between two computers using OSX, not only do his Unix skills suck (and they could easily be used to do it), so do his basic computer skills.
yes you can:) You make a new bucket and copy all of the objects. The objects will copy on the server side. (assuming they are not fibbing and it is compatible with the S3 API anyway:))

You nailed it. It should not be another company trying to do what Adobe is. It should be an open accessible standard.

He said that in the next sentence :)
In defense of Microsoft (wow) at least Silverlight works well on something other than Windows. Adobe can not say the same thing.

Put a period after devices and delete without fees :)

86 million+ iPhones, iPads,and iPod touches..

Being Anti-Linux is very 1997.
Why not, everything else is :) We are encouraged to moderate up and a lot of people misunderstanding the request.

You can buy new iPhone cable for $2-3 US...
Apple still regularly updates the Darwin kernel and I can run it on any platform I want.

Did you read anything that came up in google? You stand corrected and I accept your apology.
yes you can :) You make a new bucket and copy all of the objects. The objects will copy on the server side. (assuming they are not fibbing and it is compatible with the S3 API anyway :))
It is another carryover from the S3 API. Amazon used PUT as well. They switched over to POST for newer S3 functions related to cloudfront.
