Occupy Flash, Meet Occupy HTML

Earlier this week, we ran the news about an anonymous movement called Occupy Flash that wanted all of us to uninstall Flash for our PC’s in favor of HTML5. It drew a lot of debate whether it’s feasible or not. But someone decided to launch a counter movement in support of Flash and here’s the result. Their message is this: Flash is mature. It’s supported by all major desktop browsers. It’s stable when used properly. If not, it crashes a lot, just like every other technology. It requires constant security updates, just like every other web technology. It doesn’t work well on most mobile devices, and for good reasons. It’s a content plugin, developed during the era of closed standards and unilateral corporate control of web technology. Websites that rely on Flash can present...

Microsoft and Yahoo! merger back on track?

According to an inside source of theirs, New York Times reports that Microsoft has signed an NDA with Yahoo! to look into their books.  Back in 2008 Microsoft made an offer of $45 billion to Yahoo! in the hopes of competing against Google’s ever increasing market share. At the time Yahoo! was still in a very strong position, which led to Jerry Yang rejecting the offer. Three years later, with their share value half of what it was back then, Yahoo! is open to offers from potential buyers for a complete takeover. This time around, though, Microsoft doesn’t seem to be looking for an outright takeover either. Instead, they seem to want to help a consortium of companies with the bidding, namely Silver Lake and the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board. The deal then becomes...

Analyst: Apple will surpass HP as the leading PC vendor

Research firm Canalys believes Apple will surpass HP as the top PC vendor by mid-2012 – but only when the iPad sales are counted in as well, which the firm does (they think it is a ‘personal computer’). Apple’s market share (with the iPad counted in) grew from 9% to 15% year-over-year. Without the ‘magical’ tablet, Apple passed the 5% mark only recently. The iPad will face stiff competition from Kindle Fire and Nook tablet, Canalys says, due to their extremely competitive price points. “Apple has seen its PC market share expand from 9% to 15% in just four quarters, though iPad shipments in its core market â€" the United States â€" are likely to come under pressure in Q4 due to the launch of the Fire and Nook at extremely competitive price points,” said Canalys Analyst...

Long-Denied Facebook Phone Could Be Coming Soon

After years of denying rumors that it is out to create a Facebook-branded smartphone , the social-media kingpin is now reportedly admitting that an HTC-created handset is in the making -- though as much as 18 months from release. Reports Tuesday said the device would be nicknamed Buffy, a monicker that grew from the codename "Slayer," which could either be a juxtaposition of social and layer or a reference to the widely held goal of "slaying" Apple's top-selling iPhone. Buffy, of course, is the sexy cheerleader who slayed vampires in a 1997-2003 WB TV series, based on a 1992 film of the same name. Tweaking Android...
