Collected links
Collected links: Here are some pages which caught my interest this past week, but for which I didn't have enough original content to justify a full entry on this weblog....
Biskero has a new stock-trader applet built upon Flash Lite.
Semapedia joins in-store barcodes with a camera phone which then requests a relevant Wikipedia article. Such barcode use is already common in Japan.
Contributors confirm that the new Kodak cameras use SWF UI.
Matthias Zeller, new Adobe blogger, describes the enterprise relationship with SAP. (Adobe & Macromedia had independent alliances with the business-software provider.)
Jon Udell describes a contest between a traditional business workgroup, an "opensource" group of volunteers, and an Extreme Programming dyad.
Brian Deitte is on the Flex team, and has a new weblog on his own server.
"How to Detect Lies" is a short intro to learning how to watch for incongruities between words and actions.
"One Free Minute" provides a publishing venue for your priceless words... call and speak for a minute, and they'll play it through a high-volume bullhorn at their art installation.
"AJaX in 30 Seconds" points out how the actual "asynchronous xml" stuff is much simpler than all the larger JavaScript packages which bear the name.
Some term-paper factories apparently don't credit creators for the reports they sell.
Paul Thurrott offers a low-tech (and snarky) way to podcast.
Clinton East does some textual analysis of large online dating sites.
Ted Padova addresses preference options in Adobe Reader.
An article discussing comics and web standards actually uses a .PNG file for its graphic. He argues against SWF, but you have to click your "scroll" button 30 times to get through all the text.
