It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them - Alfred Adler
ADOBE FLASH technology will soon be seen in a number of new consumer devices including TV's, set top boxes and media players thanks to a collaboration between chip giant Intel and graphics leader Adobe.
The Open Screen project will concentrate on porting existing Flash technology to Intel's CE 3100 media processor which will allow the viewing of web-based content and video on consumer electronics.
The two companies are working together to make consistent approach to viewing media across a wide range of gadgets using Adobe's Flash Player and Flash Player Lite.
So what you see on your laptop will be exactly the same as the content you see on your portable DVD player, or your TV set... or your internet connected fridge. µ

Now my appliances will be able to let me know that I'm the 1,000,000th visitor. Or that I won a Wii and an iPod on the same visit. Or that my Linux box needs a registry scan because it's running slow.
Flash is the biggest waste of processing power, bandwidth, and all other resources in this decade.
Yeah so now I can watch crappy quality television with more artifacts than hdtv!
If shit is right? then what the fauk is left? Maybe digital is not a good thing
It's only going to get worse, you know.
In the future corporations will have their hand in everything. In schools, before each class, teachers will be required to run a five minute ad for Adobe technologies.
Those who are found to be in breach will be prosecuted by a Microsoft Certified Judge.
The US Founding Fathers were wise enough to include a separation of church and state. They could not have possibly foreseen the need for separation of corporation and state. "One nation, under God?" You can't say that. "One nation, under Coke (or Pepsi, depending on who sponsors your school)?" Right! Bring it! When I was in High School we already had something called "Channel One" which was sort of a propaganda machine but it wasn't entirely commercial; it was more like a daily after-school special centered around the "hacienda."
