A Week of Announcements
Adobe announced the launch of Flash Media Encoding Server to collide head-on with Microsoft’s Silverlight browser plug-in. The software can convert native Windows and other media formats into those which can be played using Flash runtime.

Noteflight: Every Musician’s Flex App
For the musically illiterate, be sure to read this wiki entry. Music is written, using what are called notes. Not surprisingly, there are softwares for this too.

Banned iPhone Apps and Workarounds
That Apple has been banning iPhone apps from its App Store is no news to you. I myself have made a passing mention of it a couple of weeks ago.
1. Andrew Mason’s “Pull My Finger”, a silly, funny if you like, app that makes fart noises was rejected on grounds of limited utility. Andrew has […]
