Fuelled by Lyora MacRae’s moderate success with the Adobe Flextv on Youtube, Adobe has taken video presentations to the next level with its Adobe TV. Or so we would’ve thought had I not traced this six-month-old press release in Adobe’s archives.

Every developer is capable of passionately participating a UI design session. But the matter of truth is, realistically, only one out of, um… one hundred of them can really design good UI.

There have been many search engines built using Flash coming up. These are a wonderful way to search when you have time to kill, or when you are bored with the unaesthetic list of links returned by the usual biggies, or when you have no clue about what you’re searching and thus need to check [...]

I wrote about Google App Engine, which only allowed 5000 people registered back then. Today, at Google IO, its door opens to everybody. You can go sign it up and give it a spin.
How about trying out DjangoAMF or PyAMF for Flex RIA applications.
One thing I noticed though, it’s hard to get you a common [...]

At this moment both my frequently used web 2.0 services, Stumbleupon and Twitter, are down. Twitter is kinda up and down the whole morning.
