Firefox for N900 with Flash disabled. Ah, the irony…
Written by dani on February 2, 2010 – 00:44 -From the Firefox for Nokia N900 1.0 release notes themselves, stumbled upon this little gem:
Initially, Firefox for N900 does not support browser plug-ins. Due to performance problems using Adobe Flash within Firefox on many websites, especially those with multiple plug-ins on them, we have disabled plugins for Firefox for Maemo 1.0. We plan to provide a browser add-on that will enable you to selectively enable plugins on certain sites, because some sites, like YouTube, work well.
So the good folks of the Mozilla Foundation have gone and released the thing. Given the recent turn of events, it’s interesting to see the reality brick hitting the Adobe head, so to speak. Couldn’t think of a more appropriate support for the Apple iPad, really.
Even if the eventually release it with plug-in support enabled, they will probably stick with letting users enable Flash selectively… This is yet another nail in the Flash coffin.

Com passa el temps en el món de la indústria informàtica
Written by dani on October 21, 2009 – 19:24 -Estava llegint l’article curtet de la BusinessWeek que comenta breument l’evolució de la situació d’Apple a nivell de borsa.
M’ha cridat l’atenció la següent llista del valor total de l’empresa (market cap):
Microsoft — $236 billion
Apple — $183 billion
Google — $176 billion
IBM — $162 billion
Cisco — $140 billion
HP — $115 billion
Oracle — $111 billion
Dell — $30 billion
Les accions pujen i baixen, però a hores d’ara aquesta és la situació. Com passa el temps i com canvien les coses, no?
