But today, right now, HTML5 is not appropriate for the immersive applications that Flash and Silverlight are capable of creating.

You could argue that Flash and Silverlight were never particularly appropriate either. Cue native apps...

That's a bit baffling. It seems like there are at least tens and probably hundreds of millions of people who play flash games every day (Zynga being rather happy about that). They may not be power users but they are everyday consumers. A lot of that isn't going to be casually rewritten into HTML/JS.
That is why Apple is using fake wood backgrounds all over the place? I think they are very cheesy - prefer a "cold" interface, like a command line. Then again, maybe it would cheer me up to configure my shell to use Comic Sans...

I agree with this and I think you could even scale the fee for renewal up over time to discourage just automatic renewal of stuff that has almost no commercial value anymore.

I think the author's missing one major point: Microsoft is heavily pushing the "touch" interface on Windows 8. I've tried imagining using Flash with a touch interface, and I think it'd be extremely painful.

The Cloud Lock-In (Part 2): The Great Lock-In of PaaS
PaaS is evolving to become the masterful approach towards “cloud software development”. When approaching PaaS, the IT organization should take in mind that there is a reasonable risk that it will quickly be tied to a single programming platform and will not be able to move its applications and data between vendors (PaaS or IaaS). One of the main key points for this discussion is the IaaS portability capability.
No Google Chrome-in-IE either then.

I should probably be paying attention to this, but is Metro HTML5/js only? Does that mean Chrome and Firefox are basically dead on Windows 8 (unless you leave Metro)? And what about anti-trust lawsuits against IE??
At least in the current Developer Preview, yes. No plugins in Metro IE10.

Going to all this trouble to create accounts and upvote, then making empty blogspam-like comments... seems like a waste.
Being a pre-beta version this could be a limitation of this build. But nevertheless, Steve jobs has already talked about the problem with flash performance/power consumption.
Maybe because Metro IE10 runs on WinRT rather than Win32? Just a guess.
If you mean licence them from IBM: I doubt it. Google want the patents to protect its partners, and trying to arrange a licence like that would be hard. Also, protecting its partners means some are likely to be tested in court and fail, which will kill their value to IBM.

If you mean from Apple: Very doubtful. Apple wants to stop their competitors, not make money from them.

If you mean from Microsoft: Possibly for each manufacture, but in aggregate almost certainly not.

Are industry giants danger to startups?
Yet another episode of start-up crushing story got unveiled to me , regarding the flight search launch by Google. Is innovation getting a cornered glimpse?
Yet there is no way that people can be stopped from giving flight to their ideas. But when giants like Google try to expand their presence over a lot of areas, will it cost much to start-ups. Does any startup founder-to-be just modify his ideas because of this? Does this move from a giant company a threat to freedom of innovation? Well, this sounds crazy.. Do you join a giant company to be part of their ideas or do you create one out of your ideas, yet still wait to be crushed by the giant? I am not pessimistic here though !
C#?!?
Why? What is it about Flash that makes you feel it couldn't work well with a touch interface?

... or webdevs/companies who continue to support legacy platforms (and thus not force people to update). Clients are clueless anyway.

Ask HN: Does disallowing people to download streaming videos help?
Hi,

I am working with a senior of mine in college who is building a video streaming platform which encrypts data packets on the fly. As a result, the video cannot be downloaded for offline viewing. This is an additional feature he added to the project which originally was intended to build a faster video streaming server software.

We have had a discussion on this and he feels that this adds more value to the video serving company. However I was not convinced.

So here goes my question : Does disallowing downloads to people for offline viewing do any good? Why not allow people to download videos for offline viewing?
Playback

There apparel is made-up with recycled cotton scraps, and plastic bottles which transform the quality of eco-fashion for years to come.

Sorry, my bad. I got ec2 and s3 all mixed up. Thanks for clarifying!
Though it is indeed very annoying that Flash grabs all keyboard input, I don't think that has anything to do with the matter at hand, considering that touch interfaces are infinitely more like mice than keyboards. I just don't see the same problem occuring.
My reason: I've been using VirtualBox for running dev server environments. What happened: VM shutdowns, without any way to start them again (buttons just gray), files corrupted, interfaces lost, ....

No, Metro stuff can be written in C++/C#/etc - it's just a different set of APIs to target. As I understand it, Chrome/Firefox would have to be ported to run on the new Windows Runtime. I have no idea how difficult that would be.

I guess so. I loved blip.tv because they allowed me to download the videos to watch them offline and that too in multiple formats.

Sadly, they have discontinued this feature. But yeah, I think this was one of the features that I think made them popular.

Screencams.

One good reason to not allow 'dowload' of a video is if it is a live stream of a person. People will say/do stuff on cam that they may later come to regret, if your platform can reliably (see 'screencams') stop others from recording the stream then there will be a market for that.

But you've got a lot of extra issues to contend with in your streaming server, it's hard enough just to pump the data out, if you have to uniquely encrypt a few tens of thousands of outgoing streams that is a real problem.

Microsoft has been losing its Windows franchise since two key events:

1. Netscape introducing navigator

2. Microsoft stopping development post IE6

This has actually given the web browsers a modicum of stability and people were able to develop against a stable medium, and allowed Firefox to catch up in terms of compatibility.

In order to regain its Windows franchise, it needs to reimpose the Windows tax.

Firstly, by making Metro IE10 plugin-less, it kills Adobe Flash as a navigator-pretender.

Secondly, by introducing a lot of IE10 specific extensions, it hopes that developers will start to make use of these, eventually leading to the balkanization of the web, with MS having the highest share of desktops, it hopes it can buy another 20 years of windows tax.

Thirdly, Apple's experience has shown that without plugins, developers will either have to choose between HTML or Apps. Now Apps are a great way to create lock in. The existence of plugins threatens that.
The title's a bit misleading, implying that there's more than one IE10 (Metro and ?), and that IE10 will not support plugins. It will, but they won't be available with the Metro UI enabled. If you need them, you press one button ("Use Desktop View") to switch UIs and you have them.

Of course I do prefer opt-in and links in the emails to unsubscribe without having to log in. But email is just fine for me - gmail knows what I like.
Yup, I did too. Also it saves your last visit and sorts it depending on the time.

Putting the focus on Silverlight is an oddly parochial angle, when Silverlight has so little significance in comparison with Flash.

This move is far more interesting, surely, as confirmation that Flash has lost the browser wars and that web standards will determine the future of web applications.

If you make a living as a Flash developer, it's long past time to start learning about the web.
What this does mean is that you should always look carefully at where you get your traffic and your hosting. You don't want to be dependent on a big competitor for either of those.

All it takes is one tweak of an algorithm or a prolonged outage to put you out of business.

2)I don't know exact category, so I'm calling it "Hacking games" where player is required to solve some technology/intellectual problems(puzzle like) to go to next level, or some detective kind games.

Which language is best for game development?

Which libraries are available?

Any suggested books or any other advice?

Very slick! And I agree with the others, this gets location quite well (except it put me north of the Thames).

There are so many location apps, so it's good to see something simplified.

Now the one thing you need to do is give me a reason to keep coming back to the site.

Add chat maybe? There are lots of location-based chat apps now, that allow you to chat with people in the same location as you. What I would love is an app that let me chat with people in different parts of the city. "Hey Jenny, how's Oxford street this morning?" "Anything fun going on in Trafalgar square right now?". You get the idea.

Any companies producing Flash games are probably already aggressively porting to things other than Flash – either HTML5 or native – to target today's fastest growing gaming platforms, which don't support Flash.
To me, "you can’t give iOS apps even the option to run continuously" is precisely the same as "discarded applications will continue to stay open [...] but unable to schedule CPU time" indeed.

At no point the article says Metro would not have such a feature. The point is merely that you can't have outstanding energy management with runaway background processes, which is the way desktop apps work today, so having a full-blown desktop running legacy apps on a mobile experience is compromising power management.

Side note regarding "you can leave a torrent downloading in the background": see task completion API on iOS, which fills the use case while eliminating undue battery use.

Title should be: IE10 preview doesn't support plugins. Silverlight still exists in desktop mode IE10, and every other OS/browser configuration that's currently supported, plus windows phone, xbox, and desktop silverlight apps. (Though it would be nice if IE10 continues to not support plugins-- that would seriously accelerate the push to native web development).

The visual contrast between Metro's modern look and the vulgarity of the standard Windows GUI is nauseating.

I hope Apple won't be tempted, rather, I'm sure they will not. It looks incoherent: from the the Metro UI's concept of tiles, which I dislike, to the duality of the desktop as an app. Cool for geeks, maybe, horribly confusing idea for anyone else. It's stupid to force a full fledged desktop into a tablet. Yet again, anything with a fan is not really a tablet, that's a PC.
