06/28/2008 10:03 pm by Aral Balkan in APIs

I just noticed that the Yahoo! GeoPlanet API made an API change to its JSON API that breaks existing apps. (I noticed because it broke the sign-up process for the new Singularity teaser site.)

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that it looks like all of those rumors of of Flash for the iPhone are wrong: Adobe Systems Inc. felt the sting of the iPhone in March when Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs dismissed a cellphone version of Adobe’s flash media player as not fit for the iPhone.

Gates Through Rose Colored Glasses

06/27/2008 10:33 pm by Brooks Andrus in Misc

I call bullshit. These are unprovable assertions based on purely imaginative history. The web has proven that cooperation and standards can emerge from billions of diverse voices.
