By Administrator
The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Windows 8 integrates Adobe Flash

By Administrator
Windows 8 integrates Adobe Flash

Internet Explorer 10 within the Windows 8 operating system will include an integrated version of Adobe Flash, while the Metro-based browser will feature support for the use of Flash on a limited number of Web sites.

When it comes to the Windows 8 operating system, Microsoft's browser will be available in two versions:

  • a traditional desktop browser with full support for plugins and extensions,
  • as well as a new Metro-based browser for which plugins will not be necessary.

In addition, the browser will feature an integrated version of Adobe Flash, and because it is integrated, it will not be treated as a plugin. However, you should take into account the fact that Microsoft will limit the use of Flash in the Metro-based browser to those Web sites that are on the list of approved sites.

The list implies a combination of domains:

  • video sites such as Hulu, YouTube, and Vimeo,
  • sites such as CNN, BBC, and Wired,
  • as well as a large number of entertainment and gaming sites such as Facebook and Zynga.

Flash-based interactive content on these sites will work within the Metro-based browser. Flash content on other sites will require the use of a desktop browser.

Flash is still a very productive tool for creating rich, interactive Web content, and Adobe wants to keep it usable, at least until the moment when development tools enable a full transition to HTML5.

If the company decides on this transition earlier, then Flash must be usable on Windows 8. Of course, Flash is not the only plugin technology used to provide streaming video and rich interactive content. Microsoft's Silverlight is also used for the same thing, so the question arises, will Microsoft create an integrated version of Silverlight like they did with Flash?

For now, the answer to that question is not known, but it can be concluded - one of the websites that are on the list of Flash-approved sites is Netflix, and this is very interesting since Netflix does not actually use Flash for streaming media content, but uses Silverlight.

Samsung puts a camera under the screen - Notch is not needed!

By Administrator
Notch is the biggest flaw of smartphones today - period. For the vast majority of users, this is the main reason why they do not buy a phone, as well as for me. But Samsung has found a solution. True, Notch is only a transitional solution until companies find a way to place all the components on the front under the screen. Users demanded bigger and bigger screens, and smaller and smaller phones, so Notch was the only solution. Although it is present in many smartphones today, it is not generally accepted. Moreover, it is considered a flaw . Of course, the phone manufacturers told the story and tried to convince the users that Notch was ok, and many accepted that, and the others can't wait for that era to pass.
