Re: [CGUYS] Adobe Digital Editions

Air has nothing to do with Flash except it can run flash in the air environment, but that's just one thing it does. It can also run ajax/html/javascript, all having nothing to do with flash. I can't speak to the specific app you are wanting to run, the desktop twitter app I use is built on air...

[CGUYS] Apple Anti-trust App

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/an_antitrust_app_buvCWcJdjFoLD5vBSkguGO I was hoping Apple wouldn't get a pass on this deal, this control issue Apple has is BS from top to bottom. If MS did something like this we'd never hear the end of it, virtual silence since Apple implemented this. **

Re: [CGUYS] M$ Cancels Courier - Lost their Way?

This unit would be considered I think competition for the iPad, it's about 300 bux. The biggest benefit of course for the iPad is the app store, makes entering this market near impossible for anyone. On Mon, May 3, 2010 at 4:43 AM, Snyder, Mark - IdM (IS) wrote: > Source, Mike? >

Keep in mind, Apple's markup is about 50%...so HP could come in under. There are net tops with win 7 and multiple ports for under 300. On May 2, 2010 7:40 PM, "David K Watson" wrote: MS aren't the only ones killing their prototype if this rumor bears out: < http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/29/hewle
