joojoo is a nice looking device of enourmous 12.1 inc size. While other system come with Microsoft’s Windows oder Apple’s MacOS, joojoo comes with its own pure browser-based environment.

Donal Rumsfeld, US Secretary of Defense, 12 Feb. 2002, Department of Defense News Briefing:
As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don’t know we don’t know.
Related to RIAs? No, not a bit! But strongly related to the current credit crunch or investment banking in general.
Satyajit Das’ beautifully explains the concepts of known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns and unknown unknowns in his great book Traders Guns & Money. For anybody, who aims to know the history and evolution of investment banking, Das’ book is a must.
If you try to localize a flex application with e.g. en_US and de_DE locales, FlexBuilder will likely complain about a missing german framework resource:
unable to open ‘/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3 Plug-in/sdks/3.2./…’

Today, I worked on Activity, an AIR-based time tracking solution:
As I read of Flex SDK 3.2.0 and AIR 1.5, I decided to upgrade. While the update install itself finished fine – FlexBuilder failed to run the compiled app. Actually, FlexBuild printed this error message:
Error creating AIR file: 305: ERROR, 10, http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.1
If you see such an error message, open the application’s descriptor file -app.xml and review the second line, which should contain an XML namespace declaration like
http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.1
Change the postfix version number to 1.5
http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5
and you are fine: The compiler just needs to know which lib to compile against.
Recently, Microsoft kicked off the movie service ‘msn Movies’ in Germany. While ‘msn Movies’ is free of charge for customers, Microsoft refinances the offering by spliced-in advertisement. Some are quite popular movies like ‘Good Will Hunting’.
As I read about this offering, I expected a Silverlight proof of concept. Actually, it is not:‘msn Movies’ is a service fully based on Adobe Flash technology. You guess, why
