Adobe Dumps Flex

Adobe has announced their intention to donate its Flex SDK, for building web applications, to the FOSS community. While the Open Spoon Foundation has been working on an open source fork of Flex, it is our suspicion that Adobe will donate the SDK to the more mature and capable Apache Software Foundation. Causing a furor among Flex developers, Adobe has announced that they believe HTML5 is a better technology for moving forward than the Flex platform. This of course has raised concerns that the Flex platform will recede into the classification of abandonware, as Adobe has a tendency to abrubtly terminate support for technologies that it deems a failure. So where is this going exactly? Is this a generous donation to the FOSS community? Or is it just Adobe dumping their abandonware? Hopefully the answer may be found largely in the former, as opposed to the latter.

Your Favourite E-Reader, Open Source

Barnes & Noble has of late received a great deal of credit from the open source community for standing ground against Microsoft in the battle over patents affecting Android. They’ve also received recognition for allowing the Nook to be so easily rooted. Amazon on the other hand, lost many supporters after remotely removing purchased e-books from users’ Kindles. Now in an unusual twist, Amazon has released the source for both the Kindle Fire’s version of Android, as well as for the formerly proprietary Kindle OS. Is this an attempt to garner more respect from the FOSS community? Is it an attempt to win back users left bitter by the thought that the e-books they own might not be theirs after all? At the very least, it indicates a bright future for the Kindle as an open platform.

New Kindle Fire ships today! But not for Canadians…

Amazon released the Kindle Fire today ahead of schedule, but unfortunately the bargain priced tablet doesn’t offer many of the services through Amazon Prime to Canada. At least the recently released Kobo Vox has a similar price point, though it’s not dual core and lacks the hype the Fire is generating from developers.
