World: r3wp

Henrik - they use even better strategy. They don't try to introduce 
new mythical-save-the-world browser - they use existing ones to spread 
their platform. That is why, for me, REBOL browser plug-in is still 
very important product.

Sure it's important, but fortunately REBOL is not as limited as Silverlight, 
so we don't have to rely on the success on a browser plugin. There 
are many other venues to pursue.

Flash 10 new release now uses GPU for gfx CPU intensive tasks ...

Microsoft talks Oslo's new M language, for creating DSLs - http://www.cio.com/article/457530/Exploring_Oslo_s_Modeling_Language_Promises

Today, M will be made available under the open specification promise, 
which allows anyone to implement the language spec. 

As much as we're proud of the intellectual property we've put into 
it," says Kawasaki, "It's what you do with the language that matters.""

I don't know the timezone issues  I found out at 10pm EDT (and don't 
really care ... but hey, seems like news) ... CodeWeavers is offering 
free Crossover downloads all day Tuesday October 28th.

Key free downloads.   The site is probably swamped.

Oops.  http://down.codeweavers.com/

Interesting how far some project can go - http://www.openpandora.org/
- they sold first batch in few hours :-)

That's very nice. Never heard about it... moves to the top-5 gadget 
wish list.

IIRC Geomol mentioned in the past, but I forgot about it ... looks 
really nice ...

Exclusive: First Look at Blue Spruce, IBM's Next Generation Browser 
Platform


Why is IBM Heading to the Browser?
We asked IBM VP of Emerging Internet 
Technologies Rod Smith why IBM is moving to browser-based applications. 
He replied that customers have been consistently telling them for 
1-1.5 years now that they don't want to do installs anymore. Their 
customers want the rich experience that desktop apps have traditionally 
provided, but they want to have it in the browser

Interesting ....

Google Chat now supports video chat.

Adobe ports Flash 10 to ARM platform hence it will run on most mobile 
devices.

Does it means it's working or that they just started to port it?

What's the biggest resolution on mobile devices?

Oldes - it means they will get it soon enough, not like with REBOL 
:-)

No problem, I don't have any mobile>:-)

I have Asus EEE901 at work for prototyping, and it is normal x86, 
so everything runs on it. I would not want to use smaller device, 
I need full keyboard :-)

Oldes, it's an announcement. But I don't expect this to take that 
long.

We should install supporting tools (forum, some CVS) and get things 
rolling much faster ...

This kinda ties in with the no-installation blog.  No installation 
being "all installation, or Just Enough Installation" in this case.

I like the harmonica.  I mean that is the ultimate cool thing to

Yeksoon has updated the REBOL week blog. Just in time for Xmas, it 
shows lots of goodies from the REBOL community:

Somehow the content of the article is a bit complicated for my understanding, 
but do you think that the article could be talking about possibly 
upcoming Apple netbook? - photo included:

no just dicking around"
