Mac only A lot of people have heard about the negative impact using Adobe Flash can have on your notebook computer, such as the MacBook Air. Apple even went as far as not including Flash when shipping new MacBook Air computers, and it's likely because of the battery implications it can have.

Ever want to post a PDF document online for people to read without making someone download it first? There are some excellent zero-effort sites for doing just that, such as Scribd, but not everyone likes to use third-party services for that kind of stuff.

We don't write about iPhone games on the site too often, but this one hits a bit closer to home than most others in the App Store. This one was put together by a very talented group of game developers I know, and they've come up with something that's both fun and addicting.
Ever since consumers started gaining access to the internet, cookies have been controversial. They have a lot of legitimate uses, such as helping websites remember that you're logged in.
One of the problems with using Flash on a website is that search engines like Google and Yahoo are unable to read the content of the files encoded in the Flash file format. This can keep people from using Flash on their sites for obvious reasons.
Win; Mac; Linux Adobe has announced that the first Beta of Flash Player 10 is now available for everyone to download. It comes with al kinds of really nice features and improvements, but the best thing that we'll probably see come out of this is the newly available 3D effects.
There are three questions in the news today regarding Apple that need to be answered:
Not that I need any excuse to waste time, but I always keep an eye out for the "Time Wasters" that Download Squad writes about. They're usually pretty fun, and one in particular I recently got hooked on. It's called Tower Bloxx, and the flash-based game is about how well you can stack swinging building blocks. It sounds easy, but it can get tricky pretty fast.
Just the other day Adobe released Flash Player 9.0.115.0, and the most notable feature is the new H.264 (HD quality) video support. That is pretty big news because H.264 offers better video quality at lower bitrates, which inevitably makes for a better viewing experience. As Wikipedia points out there are numerous benefits to using H.264 for sharing videos.
The list of companies offering an online word processor just keeps getting longer and longer. And because there are so many options, it makes it difficult to determine which service to use, if any at all. As though there weren't enough options, Adobe has announced that they are acquiring Virtual Ubiquity which is the company that makes Buzzword.
Microsoft just introduced a new mouse "with a mind of its own" -the Mobile Memory Mouse 8000. What's unique about it is that the transceiver which you'd normally have to plug in via USB anyways to use the mouse includes 1GB of Flash Memory. It's not going to be on the shelves until about October, and the price is set at $99.
Late last night Microsoft announced that they had released Silverlight 1.0, and to mark the occasion they also said that Linux support would be coming soon.
Last week we wrote about a break-through image scaling technology that took into account the content of the photo. The video demonstration that they provided was, in my opinion, nothing short of astonishing. Now one-week later we have a scaled down (no pun intended) Flash version created by a third-party.
Gizmodo is claiming that the photos pictured below are the first shots of the New Zune. The images came from “a source who cites marketing materials, likely from the retail channel, but were confirmed by a second source as well.” Of course just because they were confirmed by a second source doesn’t mean that they’re legit.
