Lol this is sooooo much like the experience my friends got when they tried to show me flash on their devices – some even tried over 3G and there’s the fact that 80% of all interesting non-adult flash content (TV shows & Movies) is blocked outside of the US. But no matter. It was a painful lesson in patience since I had to stand there and wait and wait and wait… for nothing. Or for some really choppy video.
Yeah I do have a Nexus One but considering I rarely access flash content on my PC outside of Youtube except for some random videos like this one, I really haven’t tried it on my phone. It’s not a judgement on the quality of the experience, it’s just that I haven’t yet had the necessity though I expect it to be a frustrating experience, even if it happens next year. It won’t get any better imo.
It looks like with the rollout of Flash on Android devices, the cries for flash on the iPhone/iPad suddenly died. I really wonder how people expected flash to work properly on a phone when it has trouble working on a netbook….

Hey, Digg — This 17-Year-Old Knows What You Are Thinking: “his algorithm — which he’s been working on in his spare time for the past several months — has so far proven to be 63-percent accurate when it comes to predicting what will make the Digg front page.”
Ahh Sunday, that day of the week when news outlets bring out whatever crap didn’t make the cut during the week in order not to work. Umm wait… it’s not Sunday yet!
63% accuracy…? 50% is a coin toss. 63% is news-worthy? Stuff like this is forcing me to consider removing Slashdot from my feeds.
I toyed with the WP Super Cache plugin, just for kicks. sometime after, my blog (the page that lists blog posts and the RSS feed apparently) stopped updating without me noticing. Blargh. I’ve disabled it since I don’t really need it and was just playing.
This project, ioquake3 (or ioq3 for short,) aims to build upon id Software's Quake 3 source code release. The source code was released on August 20, 2005 under the GPLv2. Since then, we have been cleaning up, fixing bugs, and adding features.
Our permanent goal is to create the open source Quake 3 distribution upon which people base their games and projects. We also seek to have the perfect version of the engine for playing Quake 3: Arena, Team Arena, and all popular mods. This distribution of the engine has been ported to many new platforms and has had a slew of new features added, along with massive bug extermination. While we don't have PunkBuster (and never will), we do havemore security for servers and clients from various bugfixes which aren't in id's client.
The dirty little secret about Google Android | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com: “But, the consequence of not putting any walls around your product is that both the good guys and the bad guys can do anything they want with it. And for Android, that means that it’s being manipulated, modified, and maimed by companies that care more about preserving their old business models than empowering people with the next great wave of computing devices.”

HTML5 Boilerplate is the professional badass's base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site.
After more than two years in iterative development, you get the best of the best practices baked in: cross-browser normalization, performance optimizations, even optional features like cross-domain ajax and flash. A starter apache .htaccess config file hooks you the eff up with caching rules and preps your site to serve HTML5 video, use @font-face, and get your gzip zipple on.
Boilerplate is not a framework, nor does it prescribe any philosophy of development, it's just got some tricks to get your project off the ground quickly and right-footed.
