I was looking for a service just like this the other day. Because I'm in Thailand, Paypal freezes my account regularly, and for CCs many places won't ship to a different address, let alone a foreign address because of the risk of CC fraud.

Wallaby is a feature of the IDE to publish as HTML5 - it doesn't seek to address all the SWF content that is already out there.

It's counterintuitive but Adobe should be working on a project like this. A decent server side SWF->HTML5 would enable existing websites to offer the first class experience (the SWF) to Flash enabled browsers, and push a HTML5 conversio

I saw an old cleric at a funeral of one of the protesters killed in Egypt on AlJazeera. He spoke of how they had mocked him for his blue jeans(!) and his facebook. He begged forgiveness and said that he saw now how he had been leading the w

The key mistake the author makes is to assert no-one will ever spend or sell bitcoin trying to secure greater future wealth. As a bubble grows, large holders find that that a larger and larger proportion of their wealth is tied up in a sing

Click to Flash is the ideal middle ground for mobile devices. Only load the Flash when the user explicitly requests. 90% of the time, the user won't notice the Flash missing, the other 10% it is available on request. That solves the issues

You need to think a little bigger to properly understand his point. Humankind is mis-allocating some of its most talented labour to what is essentially an arms race in financial market predictive algorithms. It provides some benefit for hum

You'd think it would be wouldn't you? It's not. It's all about iTunes for Apple.

Apple's number 1 priority is getting iTunes&cruft onto every computer their products touch. It won't be long before they put an end to this blasphemy.

If the court considers the value of the item and agrees with the valuation of the shopkeeper then no. If the shopkeeper says the loaf of bread was worth $200K and the the court doesn't question the amount because the shopkeeper has been bil

The two companies can write whatever they like in the contract between themselves. You seem to agree that the contract should be held to some standard of reasonableness where it is used to establish damages caused by some third party. You t

That contract could have been written to make them contractually liable for $75 trillion dollars. Following your logic, it would then be easy to establish $75 trillion dollars as a basis for damages.

If I had a contract with a company that charged $193K to replace said $80 artwork - should I then be able to claim $193K damages?

I wonder long before they're shutting down foreign .com sites for the 'crime' of infringing US patents. Having only a .com for a business feels a lot like having all your eggs in one basket now.

There's three factors I can think of - Number one is that it is an uneven distribution. Some hackers might make millions, some will make nothing. Number two is that hackers may focus too much on doing the work they understand and enjoy, whe

Yep, I'm pretty sure they're aware of Location, and they may be the best placed and biggest player right now. None of that is a guarantee for the future. The possibility is a new player can come along and understand Location in a way Faceb

They already fail to understand Privacy - but maybe that's more of a bet that it is an old fashioned concept. Maybe they'll fail to understand Social Compartmentalization - I don't want everyone in my life to know everyone else. Maybe that'

My adwords account suddenly stopped displaying any ads about a year ago. As I tackled the problem, my understanding grew that the Google's Adwords support staff didn't have any additional information than what was already published online.

How about Actionscript 2? Flash basically has two VMs . . . one is used to run legacy content (up to Flash 8, AS2), the other for newer content (Flash 9+, AS3). But my reading of the project page suggested it was just converting graphical a
