Tech Tuesday #9: Quest Continues, First I Need A Map

Hello readers, Ryo back again. Last week I mentioned the possibility of a guest writer to pop in and throw down a quick little blurb to add into my article today. Well unfortunately I couldn’t find anyone immediately available so looks like that will be bumped until next week, that is unless you really want me to toss my kitten on the keyboard and let him jump around on it for awhile. Can’t really vouch for if he will stay on topic or not, or even form words for that matter. Putting away any discussion on whether or not a kitten could type actual words, lets get to this week’s Tech Tuesday.

Flash support for the iPhone’s Safari browser is still a little ways off, and Apple still seems to not care much if their smartphone is one of few that isn’t flash enabled. Adobe on the other hand is eager to slap flash on the iPhone and get their AIR apps running on the phone. Word is even out they are preparing their own AIR App Store. As of right now, it seems Adobe has found a back way into enabling flash on the iPhone with a new update coming to Creative Suite 5.

If you logged into a site using your e-mail accounts over the weekend that didn’t seem quite authentic, it is recommended you check to make sure your account has not been compromised at all. If even the slightest thing seems off, change your password. It seems there was a huge phishing attack done recently and details of all the accounts stolen were posted online for everyone to read. Just thought I’d toss a quick little mention for anyone that may have been a victim. Unfortunately I can’t post any sort of link up here for you to read over the list of login names compromised due to not having that information. Remember to pick strong passwords and never to log into sites that look even slightly off.

I’m not even certain how to describe this. Well, other than possibly a photographer’s worst nightmare…or maybe their best? No clue, but in my book this is just plain awesome. It is a program called PhotoSketch that basically lets people with poor drawing skills (me) create a photograph to illustrate whatever I want the scene to look like. I don’t think you want to sit there and read a wall of text explaining how this program literally creates photoshops for you with your basic doodles, so instead I shall link to a page that has a presentation video. Can’t wait to test this out.

You know by now I have a bit of a penchant for commercials that are unusual, or take a jab at competitors in an amusing way. Seems Verizon is doing just that to AT&T with their latest ad they have airing. Personally don’t use either phone service, but once again I love to watch companies feud. I guess it must make them feel like real people too….and yes, I’ll call my lawyer for that one. 😛

That’s a wrap for this Tech Tuesday, I’m off to grab breakfast and load up some ODST for a round or two of Firefight. I’ll see you next week.
