Skyfire on iPhone backfired, dose it matter at all?
Skyfire the special web browser for the iPhone which offers the ability for iPhone users to view Flash video content by transcoding it into HTML5 on the fly. We all know Apple has this thing against Flash, the Web’s most popular video format; says it’s buggy, it’s not secure and depletes the battery and bla bla. So why sudden change of heart? Why did Apple approved Skyfire, which brings Flash on iPhone? Is it because Skyfire built in accordance with Apple guidelines, including the use of a WebKit browser core shared with Safari, and H.264 adaptive streaming and Apple wants’ to prove it excepts any application which follow guidance laid out by them. Or is it some other agenda like prove a point that Flash isn’t that big deal and fading away. So what happen to Skyfire? A lot of people were seriously existed to see Flash coming on iPhone. But despite widespread excitement over the first app to work with Adobe’s plug-in, it turns out that Skyfire isn’t very useful. My experience of Skyfire – it’s disappointing and i just wasted my hard earned $2.99. Despite all he whistle blowing and overwhelming hope it didn’t work any where near…

Facebook’s Recommended Subscriptions
About two weeks ago when Facebook unveiled it’s Recommended Subscriptions Page Browser, it was just another FB lab experiment to test out how user take it. But it turned out to be a massive featured recommendation engine that silently harnessed the 500 million users recommendations. The potential for that sort of user power behind any recommendation engine is killer, and the fact is it’s FB we are talking about. Page Browser seems completely standalone (well at least for now), you have to directly navigate in there rather than via any navigation link from main interface (user must be logged in though). Facebook supply recommendation based on user’s age, profile data, location, gender etc. FB recommendations will be highlighted as big and bold icons. User has complete freedom of liking or disliking FB recommendations. Simple and clean interaction is obviously appealing. Since the recommendations are based on FB’s user profiling, every users got somewhat unique recommendations, well on the side it will also show friends who got similar recommendation like you.

Flash finally onboard iPhone
You are not seeing ghost! That’s right Adobe flash can be run on iPhone 4.0, not just any flash the latest version. Hold your horses before you run over people or something, there is a catch! This can be done only by certain hack Comex, the same infamous (to Apple)/ renowned (to millions of consumers) hacker who developed the browser-based JailbreakMe tool, has done what should have been impossible and brought Flash video capabilities to the iPhone 4, and he claim that it will work on iPhone 3GS and the iPad as well. This Frash lets iPhone users view Adobe Flash content on their phones. This is certainly not any windows click and get hack, user’s iPhone have to be jail broken first prior to perform the actual hack which is a bit complex indeed. This is no news to us that Apple’s firm stand against letting Flash, the de facto web video standard into iPhone made Flash lost its glory (even if it’s not that significant yet). This also allow the rise of HTML5, even video sharing mammoth like YouTube embraced HTML5, where once Flash was one and only. So if you are Flash fan, seriously pissed with…
