As you may have heard, Adobe (ADBE) last week admitted defeat in its long-running battle with Apple (AAPL) over Adobe's Flash technology. As Apple's CEO, the late Jobs barred Flash from Apple's iPhone and other handheld devices and famously wrote an open letter last year explaining why.

You could hardly ask for a more ringing endorsement of the future of HTML5 and a Web based on open, common standards than Adobe and Microsoft's near-simultaneous leaks announcing the impending disconinuation of their respective rich media browser plug-ins, Flash and Silverlight.

In a stunning move, Adobe is apparently ready to throw in the towel when it comes to getting Flash to run in mobile browsers.

Aquafadas has unveiled a new Mac application that lets developers more easily create website animations that can run simultaneously on both Flash-oriented desktop browsers and iOS devices that run HTML5.

Adobe is far from abandoning Flash, and by offering tools for developing with HTML5, it could help maintain its position in Web development. Edge also highlights some of the things that Flash can do, but HTML5 still can't.

Google on Tuesday unveiled Swiffy, a free tool for developers to convert some Flash files (.SWFs) into HTML5 code.

yet another seismic invention. This time it's a new kind of phase change memory (PCM) that reads and writes 100 times faster than flash, stays reliable for millions of write-cycles (as opposed to just thousands with flash), and is cheap enough to be used in anything from enterprise-level servers all the way down to mobile phones.

Jahshaka Reinvented

Mar 16, 2011 - Google on Tuesday updated Chrome, patching a flaw in the browser's copy of Flash Player. The move let Chrome beat rival browsers to the punch: Users of Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox, Safari and Opera won't receive a Flash update from Adobe until next week.

Plug-ins have historically been a major attack vector for Internet malware—particularly Adobe's Flash and Acrobat plug-ins, which are notoriously insecure. Rather than seriously addressing the issue, Adobe has capitalized on the poor security of its own software by bundling unwanted McAfee crapware in Flash and Acrobat updates. 

Chrome 10 introduces support for Flash sandboxing, which is now enabled by default on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

The next generation of online tower defense games has arrived courtesy of a concept-to-completion effort by legendary Flash innovator Grant Skinner. Developed entirely in HTML5, Pirates Love Daisies works on all modern browsers and sets a new standard for the highly addictive genre.

Hi, I'm Paul, a Creative Technologist from London
with an equal passion for both design & code.

a small group of web developers and designers have been hard at work perfecting a method to insert rich typography into web pages without sacrificing accessibility, search engine friendliness, or markup semantics. The method, dubbed sIFR (or Scalable Inman Flash Replacement), is the result of many hundreds of hours of designing, scripting, testing, and debugging by Mike Davidson (umm, that’s me) and Mark Wubben.

flosc is a Java server that can communicate with anything that uses the Open Sound Control protocol. This includes software audio synthesizers like Max/MSP, Reaktor, and SuperCollider, and hardware like Lemur and SmartController. It can also communicate with Macromedia Flash (versions 5 and later) using Flash’s XMLSocket feature.

flosc acts as a gateway between OSC and Flash, allowing messages to go in both directions

There’s a belief within the web standards community that Flash is part of a different world. While all approaches have limitations and drawbacks, Flash has been scorned to the point that many refuse to acknowledge its benefits. Ultimately, this has led to the creation of a virtual separation among web designers; those who use Flash use it exclusively (leading to a saturation of full-screen, “Skip Intro”-rich Flash sites on the web) and those who don’t ever give it a second thought

Lack of Flash in the iPad (and before that, in the iPhone) is a win for accessible, standards-based design. Not because Flash is bad, but because the increasing popularity of devices that don’t support Flash is going to force recalcitrant web developers to build the semantic HTML layer first.

I love this whole unfolding future-of-Flash saga because it’s a wonderful mix of politics and technology. It’s complex and multivariate, but not too complex to get a handle on the basic gist

Must-read analysis at Daring Fireball anatomizes the “war” between Flash and web standards as a matter of business strategy for companies, like Apple and Google, that build best-of-breed experiences atop lowest-common-denominator platforms such as the web

Adobe apologized over the weekend for letting a 16-month-old bug in Flash Player languish without a patch, even though it updated the popular plug-in four times since the flaw was reported.

The bug has been fixed, said Adobe, in the beta of Flash Player 10.1, which was released last November. The final version of Flash Player 10.1, however, will not ship until later this year.

Partha Mohanram, a professor of accounting at Columbia University and an expert on financial disclosure, agrees that firms that co-locate are at a huge advantage because as exchanges are charging for the service, it can't be considered equal access, even if the service is being offered to everyone. "To say that all high-frequency trading is bad and should be banned is an overreaction, but if preferred access is being sold, that is a problem that should be addressed," he says.
