Java’s weapon to kill Flash, Ajax, SilverLight – JavaFX

— By

Java have long failed to woo Internet users on the client front-end. Flash was ruling it for years; but wit the recent announcement of SilverLight from Microsoft, Sun could no longer stay behind. So, they are trying again with a consumer-flavored Java – JavaFX.

JavaFX is said to be a new scripting variant of Java with a focus on development for the consumer communications market, including desktops, mobile clients, and TVs. The first product release is JavaFX Mobile, a software system for mobile devices.

Mixercast – intelligent, optimized, every ounce of Flash’s capabilities un-earthed, un-leased

— By

Like most usual evening, I was scanning NetNewsWire for RSS Feeds and my Yahoo!’s Search term for “Brajeshwar” pop-up and it was about Mixercast’s new deals with many major media companies. Alright, but why would it notify me of my name (Brajeshwar) search feed and viola – Mixercast’s PR Team were observant enough to quote some of my phrases.

I respect, regard and recommend these people

I really wanted to thank, appreciate some people whom I have met and some whom I know online. I have been thinking about this and this is what I come up with – A Recommendation / Appreciation Baton.

CSS’s “hasLayout” and the devil within

— By

We’ll know of many CSS dysfunction in Internet Explorer; even the latest version 7.x release from Microsoft is not spared. HasLayout can a be way to fix such CSS dysfunction in both IE 6 and 7. However, an inner Devilish Venom of “hayLayout” is discovered when some IE users of Lorem-Ipsum WordPress Theme complained about ordered list not being ordered.

Reason: The Lorem-Ipsum style tries to explore the power of “hasLayout” on a generic selector as simple as “ul li” and that proved pretty dangerous. My bad, I never checked the layout it in IE and was testing them against Firefox, Safari and Opera on the Mac.

Lesson Learnt: Well, look like one do not need to really do a “hasLayout” with generic selector like “ul li” at all.

If you need to know more about His Evil Majesty hasLayout, someone wrote an endlessly long, boring and tedious article on the subject. It is only about 45 printed pages long! Blame Chris Wilson, Philippe Wittenbergh for all such an over-sized gem.

Microsoft plans to topple Flash

— By

Adobe Creative Suite 3Press Releases and news have already hit the wires that Microsoft is planning to releases its new browser plugin – Silverlight; in direct challenge to the widely used browser plugin – Flash.

Microsoft said that it will target three core audiences with Silverlight – (i) content providers that want to distribute video and rich media over the web, (ii) designers and developers that are building rich interactive applications and (iii) end users that want the best possible experience when viewing web-based media. Well, that encompasses almost everybody on the Internet and that is exactly what Flash does right now.
