Great News for Developers (Adobe Featured Blogs)

Technolog – Arcade Fire HTML5 video is awesome — but no Flash killer

The one thing "The Wilderness Downtown" fails to do — and this is that "pretty much" caveat mentioned earlier — is build a case for the death of Flash.

There’s been much ado about the death of Flash ever since Apple CEO Steve Jobs declared it not good enough both for iPhone and iPad, the alleged savior of magazines and newspapers — hence, all media’s obsession to work with HTML5, which Jobs prefers instead of Flash. Yeah, Jobs doesn’t want porn on his products either, yet that continues to exist.

Why I need iPAD?!

I was really excited that iPAD is here, but not anymore!

Brilliant!

Yea, it is really brilliant idea from Steve Jobs or Apple to produce this product and introduce it to the market. Not only providing the cutting edge technology and the most magnificent user experience ever, the ease of use and its capabilities can blow your mind.

I agree, even if i don’t like Apple products; especially iPAD,  I wanted sometimes to go and just buy it, as i saw everyone is excited to have one.

Sneak peak on MAX 2009 venue

As stated on Ted’s blog, 32 members of the MAX Team visited Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) and LA Live.

Wondering if swine flu and world economical situation would affect MAX attendance. Frankly speaking you are talking about one of the major and most important event happening in the year, much like you are talking about OSCAR. every designer/developer around the worker would love to attend this year MAX especially when MAX Europe was cancelled.

I hope that MAX Team this year would consider the non-US community whom want to attend that great event.

MOSS to SharePoint “14” to SharePoint 2010..!

Microsoft announced that Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 will be named as SharePoint 2010.

No one denies that MOSS is the most successful product from Microsoft and really consider to be the optimum solution for enterprise collaboration and content publishing, but as always we say since its release SharePoint was sold in wrong way by Microsoft sales people, which leads to over estimate its functionality.

On the other hand you can read the interview with Chris Capossela talking about the Next wave  of Microsoft Office Products  and how it will redefine how People Work.

Simply, no MAX Europe in 2009!!

Expectedly, as everyone in the community sensed that there will be sort of changes and cutting costs in Adobe in 2009.

Started with 600 employees layoff and before that MAX Milan which was below expectation.

The most annoying and frustrating thing you can experience, that it was simple to say ‘No MAX Europe in 2009’.

On the other hand you find Microsoft is taking chance and increasing the community penetration, establishing and confirming their presence more in 2009. Long time I was supporting Adobe blindly with its negatives and positives, unfortunately, it is time to look at things at its right perspective.

As it was a very simple title, simply Microsoft scored on Adobe this year and Microsoft gained more territory.

See it on Ted’s website it is not even official on Adobe!
