If you're looking to make your website stand out but you reached your limits at HTML coding, then your best bet is to hire a talented flash developer.Flash is the platform of choice for multimedia online and it's rare to find a popular website that doesn't make some use of the software. It's behind almost every online video service, from YouTube to the BBC's iPlayer and it's what makes most of Facebook's fancier features possible. Even simple display advertisements make use of flash for their animated features.Without a doubt, Flash is the most popular multimedia platform online. It has an overwhelming market dominance for web browser plug ins; in 2009, web statistics from Data Owl estimated that around 95% of desktop computers have flash support installed. If Adobe is to be believed this statistic is even higher - they claim that 98% of US users and 99.3% of the worldwide total have the flash player installed. They even go so far as to claim that 92%-95% of these users ha ve the very latest version installed, something incomparable in plug-in software.The secret to the success of Flash has been its universal compatibility - and its free availability. Whilst a flash developer will have paid for a licensed version of the creation tools and software suite, to view these files all you need to do is download the flash player plug-in. Since this is supported by Windows, Mac, Linux and dozens of other operating systems, media created in Flash has a huge reach in the market. It's even available in 'lite' form for embedded systems, making it a popular tool for touch-screen devices - and in recent years, for the burgeoning smartphone market.A talented flash developer can do many, many things with the software. Far beyond simply animating text or streaming audio and video, Flash can be used to create content entirely from scratch as well as integrating it into HTML web pages. It can dynamically animate images to create smooth animations without hogging bandwidth and resources; it can be used to create interactive user interfaces (forms, message boards, comments sections, etc); it can even be used to create online games - and users can even save their game using tracking cookies smaller than a megabyte.However, the real value of Flash is extremely hard to explain without digressing into very technical terms. Basically, its behind some of the most engaging websites on the internet and its the most popular multimedia format out there. Whilst a range of plug-n-play features are available online, these tend to make your site appear even more uniform than it did without it - and they still need to be implemented carefully or their code can mess up the structure of your website completely.Unless you understand the difference between vector graphics and raster graphics and you're a dab hand with XML libraries and fully fluent in ActionScript 2.0, the chances are that you won't be able to craft your own bespoke flash pieces. The qu estion is can you really afford to have nothing but plain text and images on your site?

make Linux-powered smartphone,tablets and devices possible

apple has continued had a history of getting arrogant. But, added generally than not, they've been able to aback it up by the superior of their products. But now, with apple locking out adobe Flash and Google ads, not to acknowledgment their beautiful ambush of ambience up an HTML 5 audience website that alone works with apple's own Safari Web browser, I anticipate apple has overstepped their authority.

It's time for Linux-powered smartphones, tablets and devices to accord users best alternatives to apple's offerings. Zemlin went on to write, "Providing a acceptable user acquaintance isn't ascendant beneath the white lights of the abstracts center. In customer electronics, it's a altered story.

Mobile Linux vendors have to access their abstruse investments by alive on key open-source projects to accomplish every basic acclimated in Linux devices account the user experience. That includes authoritative devices cossack up faster, affix better, and affectation cartoon added smoothly." (more : Sony VGP-BPS9/B battery Sony VGP-BPS9/S battery , Sony VGP-BPS9a/B battery)

That's why I'm encouraged by such moves as Google's android aggregation alive added carefully with the boilerplate Linux developers. I'm aswell absolutely admiring to see that Canonical, the aggregation that makes Ubuntu Linux possible, is now alive on enabling blow in Ubuntu, which would accomplish it ideal for tablets.

If any Linux aggregation comes abutting to affectionate apple's address to boilerplate users with its focus on authoritative the interface a amusement to use, it's Canonical. after all, it was Canonical's architect and Ubuntu's allegorical light, Mark Shuttleworth, who said Ubuntu's ambition was to bear "a user acquaintance that can attempt with apple in two years."

Shuttleworth was talking about the desktop. Today, it's all about aggressive on devices. The day of the PC is crumbling into the afternoon. With apple authoritative enemies of ancient ally and closing its software amphitheater anytime tighter, now is the time for Linux not alone to advance advanced with its actual advantages of lower prices and accessible software and standards, but to appearance the apple that Linux devices can be every bit as adorable and convenient as its apple competition.

While the Palm has always been the top dog of palmtops for Linux users and Yopy (see "Linley on Linux", LJ, September 2000) is the first kid on the block with Linux inside, there is Linux brewing at Compaq as well. iPaq, the handheld pocket PC from Compaq, should have the attention of most Linux lovers. While the shipping version runs Windows Pocket PC, getting a Linux version of this 200MHz handheld with 32MB of flash RAM is as easy as surfing to the Compaq web site. And what's more, the iPaq owes its very existence to open source and Linux in general, and a research project called "Itsy" in specific.

As Dick Greeley, program manager for the Open Handheld program and a member of Compaq's Corporate Research team, said in a recent interview, Compaq's study of handheld computing devices-seeing what it was that made them so popular and what could be done to improve on some of the product's deficiencies-had it origins not in Compaq, but in Digital Equipment Corporation, which Compaq acquired in 1998. Getting Digital's significant research labs as part of the bargain, Compaq became the home for Digital's "Itsy" project. The "Itsy" project was an attempt to marshal many of the technological innovations in computing power, screen quality and memory capacity for the burgeoning handheld computer market. It is this project, started four years ago, that eventually produced the iPaq.

"Our goal in research," said Dick Greeley, "is to look into the future, to look beyond the time horizon of the existing business units, so to that extent, we're looking out further than a lot of these groups do." What he and his researchers saw was that issues of power management and user interface were key to developing handhelds that would be popular and able to exploit the developments that were leading to the incredible shrinking machine. "While all these devices could shrink," Greeley noted, "our fingers can't, our eyes and ears can't...so we needed to start thinking about how the user interface of the future is going to work with these devices...what can and can't be done and how will people really want to relate to them."

Building a better user interface for handhelds led the Itsy team to a number of interesting innovations, one of which was the addition of a 3-D accelerometer which enabled a user to measure when the Itsy unit was tilted or moved. What good was this? Greeley calls it a "rock and scroll" interface. "The idea is that as you flip the unit around in your hand, it would be basically programmable and would do different things for you," he explained, using the example of being able to turn pages on a particular application simply by flipping the wrist. So giddy had the Itsy team become with the success of their early prototype device-which was about the size of a deck of playing cards-that they even loaded the popular action-shooter game, DOOM, onto it. Recalled Greeley, "I think my favorite aspect was how you cocked the shotgun, by flipping the unit forward and backward."

Why did the Itsy team choose Linux as the development operating system? Dick Greeley offers a number of reasons. For one, like many developers, they wanted something they could play with-from the source-code level up-on their own, without any proprietary strings attached. Second, the fact of the matter was that the Itsy project was not a secret; numerous developers from the academic and research communities were also involved to one degree or another. This involvement also led to the founding of the Compaq Laptop Battery web site and the Open Handhelds program, which has as its goal the continued support of Linux on the iPaq, making the device available to the research/development community.

While the Itsy team choose Linux as their operating system, Greeley admits that, within Compaq, his research team is pretty "operating system agnostic". He adds, "I think what's more critical than necessarily the OS choice is the notion of going open source, to be able to share and interchange the fruits of many people's efforts and to have access to a wide variety of applications that are out there, which makes innovation really possible."

The transition from Itsy to iPaq took place when the newly Compaq'd Itsy research team went looking around the company for a new home for the project. Greeley says they found that home in Compaq's iAppliances Group, who had been working on an iPaq desktop PC and a new StrongARM-based handheld pocket PC. The iAppliances pocket device did not have the Itsy's 3-D accelerometer, but it did have the memory and expansion capabilities the Itsy researchers wanted. As Greeley said, "We proposed to them: Hey, let's launch this, what we'll call the Open Handheld program...We'll take our Linux port that we had originally done for Itsy, get it up to the latest revision of the Linux kernel, and at the same time, adapt it to work with the iPaq. This would be a great way to get people innovating on our platform."

As for what might be called the Itsy/iPaq premium, Dick Greeley points to a number of things he believes help set his handheld apart from the rest of the pack. "First of all," he says, "is the processing power. We've got a much faster processor than everybody else." Second, he points to the iPaq screen, which he suggests is at least as good, if not better, than others on the market. "You can look at the screen in bright daylight and still see it," he insists. "You could find your keys in the dark using the screen like a flashlight," Greeley adds by way of example. The iPaq screen also has both a variable brightness control as well as an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts to the environment. The unit also gets a maximum of 12-14 hours on its Compaq Evo N115 battery, but one of the key features as far as Greeley is concerned is the fact that the operating system (Microsoft Pocket PC standard or Linux, available from the Compaq web site) is stored in flash memory as opposed to being burned into ROM. This gives the user increased ability to load Linux on the iPaq by loading into flash instead of burning a new ROM. Says Greeley, "That proved to be an important thing for us and it's actually made our whole program possible."

Only recently started, it is probably impossible to gauge how much Linux developer interest will flow toward the Itsy/iPaq project. Greeley himself notes that, with regard to the Linux port to the iPaq, "we don't have all the bells and whistles yet," meaning there is no browser and the wireless Ethernet is enroute, but has not yet arrived. The Linux Itsy does feature the X Window System, however, and Greeley expects progress to come quickly. "We've started shipping the new iPaq in the last several weeks and there's been very good demand for them...One of the things we've heard a lot of the last week and a half is a lot of Linux people saying, "Finally! I've got my thing I can play with now! Thank you for following through!"--even though the product is not exactly the same as the Itsy.

One of the biggest complaints about Linux is that full screen Flash in a browser tends to have a choppy flickering effect that does not look very good. For some who want to experience things like Hulu full screen on their laptops or desktops do not like the fact that Linux and the Flash player are not working together very well.

There are actually a few reasons that this problem exists. The main reason is that the Flash plugin is a closed piece of software made by Adobe. What this means is that people developing software for Linux have to guess at what the Flash player wants since they can't see all the code. Typically with Linux software the code is open source. This means it is easier to make sure all the code works together since the code can be seen. Unless Adobe chooses to share, this will always be an issue.

There are a few alternatives that do exist. The first is to use the open source version of Flash. The problem with this is that it is not quite as developed yet. One day it will be if improved upon but it is not ready yet.

Another option is to download the flv and swf files and play them full screen with your media player. This will not work with streaming sites like Hulu but will for other types of flash files. In this mode there is no full screen flickering issues.

The last option is to wait for HTML5 standards which are going to gradually phase out Flash. This might not happen for a few years but it will eventually happen. Many are concerned that the browser is too dependent on this one plugin so its use is eventually going to be phased out over time. In HTML5 compatible browsers things like Youtube can be run without using the Flash plugin at all.
