Will Love-hate Relationship Continue With Flash 11?
The love-hate relationship that millions of computer geeks around the world have with Flash is about to change. Flash Player has gotten a makeover and released its version 11. The widely-used browser plug-in from Adobe got an overhaul, undoubtedly due to threats to its monopoly from rapidly-growing web standards competitors like HTML5, Silverlight and Java FX. Web standards coming to market is the only threat to Flash’s supremacy though, Adobe’s brainchild has also been locked out of iOS devices and has only a small foothold with Android.

Comment on News Flash: Twitter Doesn’t Make You Smart or Stupid by ronald
It's not that simple:
It's just not what Bill Keller thinks it is, they really need to read up on modern information theory, see links post.
Sharing Information Corrupts Wisdom of Crowds[1]
“Opinion polls and the mass media largely promote information feedback and therefore trigger convergence of how we judge the facts,” they wrote. The wisdom of crowds is valuable, but used improperly it “creates overconfidence in possibly false beliefs.”

Comment on News Flash: Twitter Doesn’t Make You Smart or Stupid by Mathew Ingram
I didn't say most people use Twitter that way -- I said it's possible to use it that way. And those who use it for stupid things, well... what can I say :-) Thanks for the comment though.

Well, What Do You Know: Flash Video Actually Looks Good On The PlayBook (RIMM, ADBE, AAPL)
Despite our skepticism, Adobe Flash video actually looks good on the BlackBerry PlayBook, which we've been testing today.
Above is a screenshot from Hulu, where the 480p video plays smoothly on the PlayBook. Now let's see how quickly Hulu blocks the PlayBook, forcing people to sign up for Hulu Plus. (We've reached out to Hulu for comment, but haven't heard back.)
Meanwhile, Major League Baseball's Flash-based MLB.TV also looks good and works okay on the PlayBook. Netflix, which uses Microsoft's Silverlight software, does not work on the PlayBook.
There are some issues with Flash-based user interfaces -- they aren't designed for touchscreens, so there are some issues when typing is required, etc. And browsing the web in general is awkward on the PlayBook. But, specifically, the Flash video at least plays back smoothly in our brief testing.
It's hard to tell how Flash video is affecting the PlayBook's battery, but this is potentially the biggest concern. We'll try to perform additional tests on this in the future.
If the PlayBook had launched a long time ago with this quality of Flash video support, that could have been a real advantage over the iPhone and iPad, which don't support Flash. But these days, almost all the video worth watching on an iPad is available through an app.
It's hard to see Flash video support being the reason someone would buy a PlayBook over an iPad, but it's nice to see that it works.

Adobe Prepares For A Possible Future Without Flash (ADBE, GOOG, AAPL)
Give Adobe credit: While it's still trying to make a version of its Flash software that is acceptable for tablets and smartphones, it's also preparing for a digital publishing future that may not revolve around Flash.
Adobe's latest move is to integrate Medialets' advertising platform into its Digital Publishing Suite for iPad and tablet publishers. (Medialets is a mobile/rich media ad startup in New York.)
Medialets' ad technology does not use Flash, but does work on the iPad, Android devices, the forthcoming BlackBerry PlayBook, etc.
While it has taken Adobe a while to make this sort of move, it's ultimately smart. Adobe's core business is selling software tools and services to publishers, whether it's Flash, this Digital Publishing Suite, Photoshop, Omniture analytics, or whatever.
Adobe should aim to support whatever the market dictates, as well as it can, whether it's an Adobe-owned platform or not. And that's what it seems to be doing here.
This new integration with Medialets could help publishers generate ad revenue from their Adobe-produced iPad and tablet content. (It includes Medialets' back-end ad server, not just its multimedia ad creative format. To be fair, that would be useful with or without Flash.)
And that, in turn, should help publishers embrace Adobe tools and services -- and pay lots of money for them -- as opposed to shopping with the competition or building their own.
If this works out, don't be surprised to see Adobe as a potential acquirer for Medialets.
Background: While Adobe's Flash technology is the leader for web video, animation, and rich media advertising, it has not repeated its success on smartphones or tablets. Part of that is because Adobe has failed to make a version of Flash that is good enough to run on smaller devices without eating up half the battery. And part of that is because Apple -- the tablet market leader, and one of the smartphone leaders -- has refused to allow Flash on its devices.

Adobe: Flash Coming To Android Tablets “Within A Few Weeks”
Earlier today there was quite a bit of commotion in the tech press over a Verizon ad that stated that Flash wouldn't be making its way to Android tablets until Spring 2011. Which has the potential to be pretty far off (as late as June), especially given that the Motorola Xoom — the first tablet to run Android Honeycomb — will be coming out in a few days.
Now Adobe has issued a blog post clarifying just how long we'll have to wait: they say it will be available "within a few weeks of Android 3 (Honeycomb) devices becoming available, the first of which is expected to be the Motorola Xoom". Which sounds like it should be around mid-March, though Adobe has still left itself some wiggle room. At least it's a lot better than June.

Comment on Flash: Sucking the Life Out of Your MacBook Air Battery by Mickey Segal
It is not very meaningful to compare Flash videos to static images. The proper comparison is to compare Flash video to other video technologies. If Flash video drains the battery in comparison to other video technologies that would be meaningful.
