Commented on “The Next Web Network”

Dang, First Twitter, Facebook, WordPress, and Blogspot. When will we be able to stop these guys? Not only that but they seem to always attack DNS except for the denial of service attack on twitter. I just hope for our sake it is not a group of people and just one hacker so we can shut them down.

This seems exactly like the kodak patent. Kodak patented a way to view photos taken on a screen which is commonplace and a required feature on every camera device. Almost all camera companies pay some royalty to Kodak for use of this technology. This doesn’t seem odd to me as five years ago a newsfeed was not a common item and social media was barely beginning. I think it is smart of Facebook to do this and will ensure their longevity in the marketplace

First Air Application

I have been pondering about Adobe’s Air product for some time. I currently use tweetdeck which is an air application I use to handle my Facebook and twitter accounts. I really enjoy it and decided I would make my home security system an Air application. But I needed to start somewhere.

I remembered a clock tutorial from Adobe’s Devnet and decided it would be a cool place to start. So I opened the example (time2) and modified it to have a transparent background and added an event listener so you could drag the clock around the desktop… Give it a try and let me know what you think…

You may need to install Air first, Do that here
