I have designed websites and applications as a hobby since 1999, my first formal project I did in 2002 when I studied my degree and since then I've gone to a warehouse development which has led me different and divergent paths and that I can consider myself knowledgeable about the necessities of the Internet, although I am not professional in the field, fluent in several languages and tools for the development of such elements. Anyway, in this little post 'll tell you, dear readers, a few adventures over the last few years and the reason why I think Adobe Flash is dead, and because is the past. CHT
MLXC
The problem came in when the user who directed the project would simply could not have a rewarding experience, and in some cases "simply would not." Then under the same contract signed months ago, from January to December 2003 gave her support to the three encyclopedias. The client in question led me anything silly problems mails from users directly to me, in the first week I received nearly 100 correos, ranging from "I see nothing" to "go to hell fucking bastard", clear, users had paid for access to the encyclopedia and had trouble using it, and over which we have just complained to n. And worse, they had sold licenses for use in more places than I knew.
At first I thought: "They are a bunch of losers who live in the past century", but there were so many fools in the world?. I spent 24 hours trying to find the problem, it is noteworthy that during December 2002, a couple of months before marketing, gave several versionsRelease-candidate
(beta version I tried it ad nauseum) to friends and familiar environment and no one reported anything serious, maybe a broken link or downloading slowdown animations, do not forget that at the time the modem connections were the standard 56 kbps. And the mystery continued for that long night I spent in full to locate the fault. The next day I contacted a random person Querétaro and asked "what?", To which he replied, "just do not see anything, I go to the site and noI see nothing, I can enter the information "in general neither he nor the following four users via instant messaging questioned gave me useful answers. Then I took some money and went to the café more fucked up I found my way, I rented an average PC, I checked the direction and presto, I found the problem: "Your browser does not support Flash, please download the plug-in from the manufacturer's website and try again. " Of course, if you want to view and interact with Flash content you need to download the programma that lets you view it in a web browser, the plug-in famous .
Then, and to end soon, I sent emails to respond to all that I had difficulties, some 60 e-mail, explaining the procedure to download and install the plug-inFlash, and everything was the normal course of things, during the following months I received a few emails with problems on something other than Flash. That was the last time you use Flash, since I have not touch the program, now owned by Adobe, for formal projects (despite having acquired a suite latest mid-decade) , s & amp; oacute; what I refer to use for educational purposes. Why? simple, because it goes with my idea of web development and for that bad experience.
But whose fault was it?. "Mine?, Of course, assume that all users know that it was Flash and have the latest version of both the browser and the plug-innot take into account that these people common, they do not care "why" of things, but what the technology does for them. Do you blame them? In part, because he was not aware of some small details like these so-called plug-in that make the magic happen.But ultimately, much of the problem also lies in the concept of having to install a separate browser program to display some content on the web. Unnatural. Can you imagine buying a new car and having to take painting out of the dealership because it lacks the finish? Wikipedia defines
Flash as an application of creacióny vector manipulation and management of code in the form of animation studio that works on "frames" and aims to production ny interactive content delivery to different audiences around the world regardless of platform. D Videosand YouTube are under the platform, and I dare to point out that 75% of current entertainment network run the same. Such is the impact that Microsoft developed its own version, called Silverlight, which as expected, it's a closed platform and deprivation. Then Miguel de Icaza and his Mono project developed a free alternative called Moonlight Silverlight that runs on GNU / Linux and sponsored by Novell. However, you must download a program that allows your Internet browser program running that information.We moved in mid-2007, Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO Inc. presents a revolutionary approach & am telefonp; iacute; to Mobile: iPhone, assuming internet access through EDGE networks at a decent speed, and after 12 months was the iPhone 3G using faster networks, the we put to a device that allowed internet browsing and from a computer, but one of the main criticisms of the device is not run Flash, "defect" that he inherited from his brothers and iPod Touch iPad. This event sparked a fierce battle between Apple and Adobe, each defending its position. The creators of the iPhone operating system and claimed that Flash made the device claimed many processor resources and RAM in addition to consuming the already poor (that's 3G) battery. And then aparecienron terminals with Android, Google's operating system for mobile, shouting "we do run Flash", even Motorola was up to this battle by saying "my Droid if you run Flash and the iPhone" ;. All this has ended up in the brand new Apple laptop, the MacBook Air does not bring Flash preinstalled, placing more flavor to the race.
Well, then, brings us to two ideas, Flash is unnatural for the average user of the Internet and have their details t & amp; eacute; technicians on certain platforms, namely: is limited and has its days numbered. Although not considered that what I write here is the absolute truth, it is my humble opinion, and if you think otherwise, is within their rights.
But there is no option for developers? Of course, many more than Adobe Flash can give. I return briefly to quote Wikipedia:
HTML 5 ( H Yper T ext M Arkupe L anguage Version 5) is the fifth major revision of basic language World Wide Web, HTML. HTML 5 specifies two variants of sintaxis HTML: a "classic" HTML ( text / html ), the strain known as HTML5 and a variant known as XHTML syntax XHTML5 which must be served as XML (XHTML) (application / xhtml + xml). This is the first time that HTML and XHTML have been developed in parallel. Includes labels (2D and 3D canvas, audio, video) codecs to display multimedia content. Even its developers say that HTML5 is a cornerstone of the open web platform of the W3C, is designed to support innovation, promote the full potential of the web can offer. This HTML5 identity system provides the visual vocabulary to classify and report f & amp; aacute; easily our collective efforts. What the user will probably have a better Web experience, definitely. Even Google and Microsoft appear to target their development towards HTML5 batteries, Apple has already done indirectly.
walked browsing tech blogs I consume daily and I met with a title that pointed to a Mexican tablet, I immediately thought that it was Lanix I saw in November and promised put on the shelves of many department stores during the holidays, but no, it was a tablet that had been presented at the recent CES 2011 in Las Vegas, well, strictly not a tablet, several outfits from a company called Meebox Guadalajara.
Your tablet comes in three flavors: Basic, Advance and Pro, not to mention that cuGlazing with a computer all-in-one of 22 inches. First things first, your call Meebox Slate tablet of the $ 8,699.00 USD (about $ 715 USD) remains at $ 10,699.00 USD ($ 880 USD) and ends at $ 12,299.00 USD (about $ 1010 USD). As I bit high considering that in his heart there is a netbook and shoddy operating system. But the concept seems a good product and it's Mexican.
What I do not like at all, is that the company's CEO told a national newspaper that their products were better and faster than Apple's, calm Friends are different platforms, and worse, to compareApple always.
Now let us look one by one, only the technical data and specifications because I have one on hand to make a substantive review. The Slate Meebox input is 11.6 inches with an Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz (the same power to the most current netbooks), 1 GB of RAM (very standard for modern times), ports USB (2), Micro SD card and HDMI (1) in addition to storage of 32 GB solid state disk SSD (the style of the MacBook Air, as both like to be compared to Apple .) Runs on Windows platform and claims 7 Home Premium Starter bring Office. & Am alsop; about girls; wing using a pen and touch input multitouch has two points. Its connectivity is WiFi and Bluetooth.
Advance version is exactly the same but has GPS and 3G connectivity. While the Pro version differs in that the SSD is twice the capacity.
The specifications are of a netbook and remind me a lot to the Archos 9 Tablet to review a few months ago (and frankly disappointed me), do not mention if the screen is capacitive or resistive or material of constructio n of the tablet. The only thing really new is the fact that use state drivessolid and not the traditional newspaper, which should cause the computer to respond quickly. The price and above all the operating system are also weaknesses that are a completely unknown company, and the world of innovative gadgets worth much if you are named Apple, Acer, HP, Motorola, BlackBerry or Meebox.
However it is interesting that technology has been Mexican companies that are willing to enter new markets and whose teams have benefits that are good, period. Definitely not a product to disturb Apple or Motorola, because they had committed various sins technological potential customers are goingthe charging: Intel Atom, would not it be better a Nvidia Tegra?, and of course Windows 7, an operating system not made for tablets or for tactile experiences because it degrades the user experience much, how could compare the boot of Win 7 against the iOS4?. I think here it took a Android to improve the user experience, although I understand to some extent, today Android versions are also not nice for tablets and you risk less well known including the Microsoft system.
From my perspective it will be hard to get a piece of cake sales in the Paisy abroad because no real innovationmind (as does Adam Notion of India Ink), and because he will face much more recognized other tablets that are around the same price. With $ 10,000 in the bag you buy on What are you? "An Apple iPad, a Galaxy Tab Samsung, a Motorola Xoom, a Blackberry or a Meebox Slate Playbook?.

Invention of based technology for Mobile Communications
Laboratories AT & T, room &; Iacute; an actual developed the first technology that enabled wireless telephony gain an understanding of market size as an invention in terms of sales would McKinsey's charge & Co, (a trusted advisor and consultant for large companies), to conduct a study that predicts sales of mobile communication devices in the next 20 years.
One of the worlds worst surveys
Unfortunately, the study / survey by McKinsey & Co been made,based solely on technologies and operation of the business models then. Error
study by McKinsey & Co to fairly accurately predict the market over the next 20 years is based largely around not calculated in the survey / study of progress in Modern communication devices, advances in mobile broadband and advances with business models of infrastructure.
Once they had completed their survey study that presented the results of AT & T, which was that McKinsey & Co. estimatesa total market size of less than 1 million subscribers / mobile devices for 2000!
AT & T serious error
Based on this survey of AT & T made the fatal business decision not to engage in the mobile communications market ! . When AT & T had realized his error it was too late for them as a company and its competitors by leaps and bounds ahead of them.

GSM Networks GSM Networks
The first Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) was invented by una Finnish company called Radiolinja and is now promoted by the GSM Association , "nicknamed GSM 2G (second generation) and allowing both señalizacióny digital speech
Now we are currently in '3 G '(third generation), International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) , the benefits of 3G is that it allows the simultaneous use of voice and data services and higher data rates, essentially helps with better 3G applications and data transfers, such as Internet downloads and so on.
operating systemsFigurative Elements of mobile devices
With several major mobile operating systems devices on the market today as Symbian OS, Windows Mobile , Android, iPhone OS , profits are rising at an incredible pace for end users, and healthy competition among suppliers is heated with each trying desperately to the end user offer from another, darker and charac appliances and features.
This in turn keeps the mobile device continuously evolucióN from a single mobile communication device of a mobile internet device, a mobile office, a high-end digital camera and video recorder plus many more .
The latest mobile phone
These smart phones are a combination of a mobile communication device, personal computer with similar equipment, such as applications and modern features such as touch screen, e-electRonica, the video call capabilities and more.
The 'Smart Phone' is the new generation of mobile phones by 2010.
Video on the History of mobile phones:
9 years ago I got an interesting question to the FAQ section of my website: " How would you like your cell phone ?." At that time and given the technical limitations of the time I started to dream, but to dream in earnest: " I want my cell phone is an extension of my computer, more, I want my cell phone is my computer, I have enough storage capacity for all my digital content, I want a fast and efficient processor, I have enough RAM to run multiple tasksat a time and want all the time connected to the Internet. " At that time my phone was a Nokia 8260 that only had a couple of simple games and a limited agenda.
This dream has been growing since then, the Palm terminal gave the first warning, then the BlackBerry took the next step and had a watershed with the iPhone. Today that dream is a reality, I present the brand new Motorola Atrix 4G.
This new generation phone was introduced last week at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, United States, it is a Sma rtphone on steroids. Is a terminal inside carries a dual-core processor at 1GHz with 1 GB of RAM , a 4-inch at 960x540 px resolution internal 16 GB storage expandable to 32 GB with MicroSD memory. also has a 5 MPx camera with flash LED technology with the ability to record video at 720p, and of course, could not miss a VGA front camera for video similar to a traditional webcam .
And most importantly because it has virtually unlimited connectivity with Bluetooth, WiFi and HSPA +. This is guaranteed to be connected to the Internet at all times.
On the software with the operating system from Google: Android (based on Linux kernel ) version 2.2 and with it an almost endless list of applications through the Android Market where Clients range from Twitter and Facebook, via office automation suites to augmented reality applications.
However, for the most demanding, these numbers may seem average, according to the wave of smartphones that have flooded the market since the advent of 3G iPhone , through the NeOne xus or HTC Evo 4G, but there are two distinguishing features that bring this phone to sleep raised at the beginning of this post: a multimedia dock and a laptop dock .
The Motorola HD Multimedia Dock was established as a basis for telephone connections in addition to connecting a screen or TV (like the Motorola Droid X) can bind to a keyboard and a traditional mouse. That is, the phone becomes a desktop computer in every sense of the word, with all the advantages it brings. CH
Laptop Dock is a laptop with 11.6 inch screen keyboard, touchpad, speakers and battery with 8 hours of supply, no hard drive, no processor, no graphics card without RAM, without any of that, only USB ports, but with the possibility of connecting the 4G Atrix to cover all the above functions.
today, Motorola has given us a taste of what will be the computer equipment in the following years, now known as smartphones, netbooks, laptops and desktops sooner or later merged into a concept that is physically more like 4G Atrix than the Macbook Air. With this reference I would like to get to 2050 to see what the PC at the time. Finally, what my dream was fulfilled? Yes, but all day I dream something different, because that's what dreams are made.
