04/09/2008 06:57 am by Danny Patterson in General
We were talking about debugging Flash/Flex applications inside the browser the other day at MN.swf Camp and I mentioned that someone had created something called FlashBug that interfaced with Firebug.

Yahoo! Blocks! OSFlash!

04/04/2008 12:25 am by Aral Balkan in General
If you have a Yahoo Mail email address, chances are you are being kicked out of OSFlash mailing lists as we speak by the Mailman mailing list software that we use. If your favorite list or lists have gone silent suddenly, this is the reason. Until Yahoo! fixes this or tells me what I need [...]

OpenID and oAuth in the browser

03/31/2008 06:01 pm by Aral Balkan in General
Dion Almaer writes on Ajaxian: If a site groks OpenID the browser should be able to pass that over without having me intervene at all. It could hide the entire login process if we came up with a microformat to let all sides know what is going on. (OpenID and OAuth in the browser?) Singularity is [...]
