So today I joined the official iPhone Developer folks. First thing you do is to download the heavy iPhone SDK which comes in a “.dmg” file as many other bundles on Mac OS X.
What do you do though when you download it in Linux and want to look into it?

Just a quick note that we are running WordPress 2.6 now. Upgrade was painless as usual and I recommend taking the time (took me around 30 minutes to migrate everything including custom theme/plugins/code etc.)…

A pretty magnificent press release out of Adobe’s garage announcing a cooperative effort to push Flash and it’s formats into the free open source world…
It is a brilliant move and what I have been telling regarding Flash’s future since years.
I am pretty sure this is the result of some pushing by avid heads from Adobe’s ActionScript guru department who have had given hints at the need for this step in various blogs and ActionScript sources quite a while ago…
At least now, Adobe might now totally gain world domination for Flash.
Waiting for more moves like this…

Oh lords of mercy,
… ?
Can there be anything more important than this in life?

I thought that the weeks at NY were a bit crazy, but I had one hell of a weird week down here afterwards. Must have received some injection down there. What a nice timing, right before exams!
By the way, “Die Bank“, which was a full fledged bank for over 100 years, is a pretty nice place with good music for either chilling with the laptop, signing a contract or having some delicious snack with drinks in the heart of Hamburg.
Make sure to check it out if you are around there and take the stairs to the right.
Also had a late business meeting for a new webapp project which I can not talk about here. If done right it will be 2-3 months before Facebook goes down! No, wait, I mean StudiVZ. That german pixel perfect clone of the social giant is enforcing a new commercial-friendly privacy agreement many users don’t like.
Additionally Facebook is soon heading for the one only missing feature before world domination: localization, which will give StudiVZ a hard time. Similar what can be seen with “invest-VC-in-me-coz-I-copy-that-US-site” MyVideo (I won’t even link to those freaks here, sorry!) and their loss/move of the userbase to the recently germanized YouTube. It seems not very likely that two social sites with the same service/application survive in the web 2.0 market.
Anyways, time to fix the promised music thing while we are waiting for Apple to release details about the iPhone/iPod Touch developer SDK. Judging from that blown Macworld Expo drama this Tuesday and charging iPod Touch users $20 for the iPhone apps (Google Maps, Mail, Stocks, Weather, …) means they have not left the best lookout for next month on this topic. Expecting extreme vendor lock-in ala Symbian Signed. Nevertheless below an exclusive video of the new Thinkpad Air, awesome stuff.
