In case you have ever been asking yourself how to call yourself if you develop Flash-based applications, here is the ultimate guide: If you use the Eclipse-based IDE called “Flash Builder” in order to create Rich Internet Applications using AS3 and MXML, you are a Flash Developer (with Focus on Flex). If you use the […]
Finally, after a long beta phase, the new Flash Builder 4 was released yesterday. FB4 is based on Eclipse and optimized for Flex/AS3 coding.

… is The Flashblog. Make sure to check it out for up-to-date Flash-related topics, but also if you’re interested in web-development in general. I especially love the Adobe deaddrop recaps. Great stuff.
I think, I finally found an answer to the question, why one should use Flash instead of HTML5: Binary sockets Newer Flash Player versions allow developers to open binary socket connections, which is not possible using pure HTML5/JavaScript in the browser (HTML5 only supports websockets, which are different). Thus, for example, it would not be […]
The golem.de guys had an interview with Adrian Ludwig, Flash Group Manager at Adobe Systems, and asked him what’s the benefit of the Flash platform compared to HTML5 and if Flash would ever come to the iPhone.

I own a Samsung LE40A558 LCD TV which does a strange whistling sound whenever I turn it on. It doesn’t matter, where the input signal comes from (Scart, HDMI, whatever..), the noise is always there and it’s very penetrant.

Swype inc. has now developed a new, innovative input method, called Swype. Check out the demo video on golem.de for the mod on traditional on-screen keyboards.
Der Support sei miserabel und die Netzabdeckung schlecht. Das sind Informationen, die ich öfters über Simyo/E-Plus höre und auch im www lese. Beides kann ich nach genau einem Monat als Simyo-Kunde nicht bestätigen.

Er sah nicht schlecht aus, die Bildqualität war für einen TFT akzeptabel und der Preis absolut in Ordnung. Inzwischen, ca. ein Jahr später, bin ich schlauer. Seit ich mein neues Macbook Pro an den Monitor angeschlossen hatte, flackerten immer wieder grüne Pünktchen über den Bildschirm. Keine Pixelfehler. Die Pünktchen blieben nicht an einem bestimmten Fleck. […]
