This is a larger step for Adobe AIR in entering “serious” applications. With the sudden outbreak and rising necessity for virtualization, several companies, big and small, are sweating to go virtual and also adapt their own technologies to work in the virtual environments. While VMWare and Microsoft are battling to provide virtualization management capabilities BlueBear [...]
Although this hasn’t much to do with RIAs, you might find it important. Account stealing trojans are now entering our computers through Adobe Flash Plug-ins as well. While internet users are increasingly becoming aware of security, attacks on computers are becoming ingenious and malicious by the day. One form of such attacks targets vulnerabilities in softwares.

Adobe Flash Player is not yet on Apple iPhone. But Flash Lite apps can now be ported to iPhone or iPod Touch. Thomas Joos from Boulevart and Emanuele Cipolloni from Barefootsoft have successfully ported a Flash Lite project, the “Rock Werchter Mobile Guide”, to the iPhone taking advantage of all the oppurtunities the iphone UI has [...]
This Washington Post article has overnight created a buzz about whether the $40 billion internet advertisement industry should be scared of softwares like EasyList and Adblock Plus. At a time when “Flash Ads” are increasingly becoming a major type, when they probably get more per-unit-revenue than text and images, they also get the major share [...]
When Wallowr started last year it didn’t seem very different from FriendFeed, Socialthing or even Google Reader.

I wrote about how good old Java back to RIA world through Processing, a media processing language that developed using Java. Well, someone really takes a good use of it. Michael Ogawa created a project called code_swarm. It visualize the code commits happened to those open source project, using Processing. This visualization, called code_swarm, shows the history [...]
Google claimed the web 3.0 is all about semantic web. The core of the semantic web is the semantic search. That where the niche point those new search startups are trying to beat search engine beast Google.

Installing software on Linux is not only easier than most of us think, but it also has some special features which help software's to be updated automatically!
Applications may crash or result in a run-time exception if the APIs used by the caller and those expected by the callee are incompatible. Java, Flash and Actionscript deal with the issue in their own ways. In Flex, attempts to support cross-versioning began with version 2.0.1 though it didn’t work very well. Cross-versioning Support should be [...]
'Root' is the default name for system administrator in a *NIX system -- a super user who can do anything and everything within the operating system.
A Linux system, just like any *NIX based system doesn't differentiate between a file and a directory, since a directory is just another file which contains names of other files. Applications, programs, documents, services, images and just about everything else on a Linux operating system is a file!
PDF files are used on hundreds of different sites, they’re something that you either love or hate! Adobe created the PDF format in 1993, so by computer standards it’s prehistoric! Adobe has recently launched a new version of their PDF reader software, this one is called Reader 9. I’m not really a big fan of Acrobat [...]

The acronym LAMP refers to a solution stack of software, usually free and open source software (Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl/Python/PHP), used to run dynamic Web sites or servers.
I’ve start seeing more and more open source developments in the RIA space, especially ActionScript and Flex based open source projects. I don’t know any of those new projects is using CVS anymore, rather most of them must be on Subversion. If you start something new, regardless it’s open or not, you might take a [...]
