I'm happy to announce that this blog is now featured in "Alltop" mobile stories! AllTop is a news aggregator that allows you to track the best inspiration news available in the Internet.
The purpose of Alltop is to help you answer the question, "What’s happening?" in "all the topics" that interest you. Alltop does this by collecting the headlines of the latest stories from the best sites and blogs that cover a topic, groups these collections — "aggregations" — into individual web pages.
Then Alltop displays the five most recent headlines of the information sources as well as their first paragraph. A pretty cool news... Thank you Alltop staff!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
(via John Nack) - Good news: the new Flash Player 10.2 (download the beta) offers a new, video-playback-optimized mode called Stage Video which uses the GPU acceleration added earlier this year.
Stage Video requires Flash developers to update the code in video players, so simply updating to the new player won’t automatically improve CPU usage on all sites, but YouTube has already updates its player & others will follow. If you’re a Flash developer and want to start experimenting, check out this tutorial from Lee Brimelow.
Take a look at the video demo here.

Apple finally removed all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps:
(from the press release:) In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need.
Definitely a great news for all third party developers out there just waiting for this news. Restrictions were introduced by the famous 3.1.1 section of the iOS Developer Program License Agreement which now sounds a lot more "open". Section 3.3.1 old version:
3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited).
Section 3.3.1 new version:
3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and
must not use or call any private APIs.
