Adobe should cut its losses with Apple and target its flagship Flash Player
at telecoms carriers, independent analyst Ovum has claimed in a new report*.
With the spat over Apple's refusal to support the Adobe Flash technology on
its iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices continuing to generate column inches,
Ovum believes it is time for Adobe to turn the tables by courting new
sponsors of its technology in the shape of telecoms operators.
The report states that Adobe and telecoms carriers are faced with similar
threats and share similar goals in relation to value-added applications and
content, and that carriers should therefore seek an industry-wide partnership
with Adobe to use Flash as the basis of their own multi-screen device,
development, delivery, and distribution systems.
Ovum believes both sides could work together to create a developer ecosystem

"Technology makes it possible for people to gain control over almost
everything, except technology." - John Tudor
As software developers, our mission is to deliver positive, technology-based
solutions - software that provides both the means and the method for working
faster, performing better, achieving more. There is little doubt that the
technologies we create provide users with the control and functionality
needed to be more efficient and productive. However, what happens when the
tools we use to produce these solutions get out of control?
Evolution in the technology ecosystem... (more)
When a new version of a software is released, the old version lives for a
while and its creators usually care about supporting it. Yesterday, after
reading about the release of Cairngorm 3, it’s clear that Adobe Consulting
ignores this rule.
For those who are not following Cairngorm evolution, I want to remind that
there was a framework called Cairngorm 2, that was a library of classes
(built on Model-View-Controller architecture) to be included in the Flex
application. I never agreed with the architecture of Cairngorm 2 which was
acting as a Crazy Glue and lead to generation of... (more)
Clear Tookit on Ulitzer
Development of enterprise Flex/Java rich Internet applications benefits from
using automated data integration solutions and productivity tools.
Currently Adobe offers LiveCycle Data Services ES2 (LCDS) and open source
BlazeDS 3.
While LCDS is certainly a great piece of software for those who are looking
to support thousands of concurrent users via the most efficient communication
protocols, its high licensing cost makes LCDS unaffordable for the vast
majority of the enterprise applications let alone small businesses and
startups.
If you are looking for a... (more)
iPhone on Ulitzer
As a diversion from its high-profile “who-knows-where-it-will-end”
dogfight with Gizmodo over an errant iPhone prototype, Apple has posted a
longish open letter on its web site over the signature of its CEO Steve Jobs
reiterating all the reasons why Apple has no use for Adobe’s Flash
technology.
Steve – or his ghost writer – says Adobe mischaracterizes the Apple ban
when it says it’s business-driven and only meant to protect the Apple App
Store. He claims it’s technology-driven.
“Flash,” he says, “was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice.
Flash is a su... (more)

Reads: 5,212  By Fuat Kircaali I can't comprehend that any event producer anywhere in the world today would answer this question by picking any one of the five available options presented. "A leading tool?" What do you mean by "a leading tool?" What other tools would you possibly have in this day and age? This question, the survey itself and its participants belong to the last decade.
I personally don't use email anymore; I communicate through "Twitter."
We don't do press releases unless we have to; we tweet stories to our roughly 12,000 followers in 8 channels. The news gets amplified to hundreds of thousands instantly.
Even during Cloud Expo, we reach more people by Twitter than the announcements we make through loudspeakers in the convention centers.
I would love to contact the people who are conducting this survey and ask them if any company answered their first question as "don't really consider it."
In an age where I personally hail a cab at an airport through Twitter, I can't possibly comprehend which century bubble those people might be living in. Reads: 3,225  Further cementing its position as The Largest Cloud Computing Event in the World, the organizers of the 7th Cloud Expo, being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, announced today that the event will also feature – on November 2nd, 2010 – a CloudCamp unconference.
CloudCamp @ Cloud Expo is aimed at anyone working with, or interested in working with, cloud technologies.
"With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions," said CloudCamp co-founder Dave Nielsen, who will personally be facilitating the process on site at the Jacob Javits. "At CloudCamp," Nielsen continued, "participants will be encouraged to share their thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing."  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon. Reads: 74,972 |
