Pulse – Alphonso Labs. Another interesting product and more importantly a very urgently needed one. Tiring and boring are various other RSS readers which simply allow you to read, this probably allows you to do the same in style and with colors.

You do have the other option to put it up in Alaska [...]
Apple Newton – MessagePad (1998) to iPad (2010)

Animation software, Multimedia software | Adobe Flash Professional CS5
animation software, multimedia software | Adobe Flash Professional CS5. Somehow Adobe has been putting one Axe after another on their foot. 1. The order form for Adobe CS5 is in Flash. Why? 2.

Oxygen on Vimeo on Vimeo via Oxygen on Vimeo. Excellent video, not in terms of just animation, which is fairly good but also the idea itself.
