Hi guys.

Adobe already supports a lot of open-source initiatives and have
already open-sourced the Flex SDK which you can use to

We could also consider just having the touchpad be available for
wake-from-idle-sleep, and not the keyboard, since that way you wouldn't have
any side effects from the wakeup key. But I think having the side effects
isn't a big deal, so I'd go with your proposed (b).

I don't get it.
1) Flash is no more evil as Java was years ago when it was closed
source and it was being taught at universities.
There is now an open-source SDK (Flex SDK (there's 2 versions, the
closed source and the open source one)) with which you can produce
AVM2 SWFs, and you can give away
crap. hit the send key before proof-reading.

- There are thousands of Java developers in the world today, and for all
intents and purposes, AS3 has more or less the same syntax as Java so
you now have an additonal large pool of developers who can create
content.

Why will the screen blank? Why not just deactivate the

This is an odd argument considering it is quite difficult for a user
to create a simple reflash USB stick while using Sugar. Instead we
