		<description><![CDATA[
Yesterday Adobe made the beta of its new Flash 10.1 player available for desktop testing via Adobe Labs. The fact that it’s only a point release suggests that it’s a relatively trivial update but that’s not the case. In fact 10.1 is one of the most significant releases in the history of Flash.

What makes Flash 10.1 [...]]]></description>

With its place at the heart of the Microsoft Office suite, PowerPoint is the overwhelmingly dominant presentation software for business. However it has a fundamental flaw &#8211; it still doesn&#8217;t offer an in-built route for efficient, cross-platform, screen-based web delivery.

		<description><![CDATA[Regular readers will know that I am a major fan of Belgian developer Dries Buytaert,  the man behind Drupal. Drupal is the most powerful open source content management system and IMHO deserves to replace Dreamweaver as the web designer&#8217;s tool of choice. In fact, as far I am concerned, the major factor holding it back from [...]]]></description>

This has become something of a yearly event and the previous version 7 release clearly suffered from the tight turnaround in a Creative Suite year.

Recently I wrote that what makes RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) different from browser-native web applications isn&#8217;t rich functionality or rich content but rich design. Moreover I argued that only a player-based approach (effectively Flash/Flex or Silverlight/WPF) can provide the platform necessary to take web design to the next level.
As I expected, the feedback to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Generally speaking, I&#8217;m not a fan of Google&#8217;s browser-native approach to web application development. Strategically I can see the advantages (wide and open access) and politically I think it&#8217;s admirable (open standards) but, in design terms, this lowest common denominator approach proves disastrous.
