A Case For AIR: Adobe Evangelist Builds Video Conference App For Android & PC
Earlier this year, you probably heard that Apple blocked Adobe's Flash-to-iPhone App converter from the App Store on the eve of the tool's launch. That may have crushed Adobe's dream of allowing developers to write their Flash apps once and deploy them wherever they'd like, but its AIR platform still works with Mac, PC, and Linux, with support for Android devices coming later this year. That means developers will s... #TC #Adobe

Halcyon Molecular’s William Andregg: “The Only Way To Reach The Stars Is To Live Longer”
This week’s episode of Speaking Of… (video below) features the founder/CEO of Halcyon Molecular, William Andregg.
Andregg grew up in Arizona. There's a song by The Orb called Little Fluffy Clouds that describes the light-pollution-free Arizonan sky quite perfectly, with amazing clouds, sunsets and stars.

Big Money: AOL’s Beauty Pageant With Google, Microsoft For New Search Deal
Time Magazine Editor Josh Quittner and AOL CEO Tim Armstrong took the stage on Friday afternoon at the Fortune Brainstorm conference in Aspen. Most of the interview was centered on AOL's content strategies.
But what I really wanted to know about was what AOL's plans were around search. Their long term Google deal expires in December. And from what we hear both Microsoft and Google are gunning for AOL's search traffic.
Why... #TC #AOL

Influencing Innovation: The Americans With Disabilities Act
Today marked the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a code of law that has influenced society and tech companies in interesting ways already, and is expanding to influence them even more.

Apple’s Real Problem With The White iPhone 4 — Well, Potentially
I've fielded a lot of questions today about the iPhone 4. No, not about the antenna -- that was last week -- today, all people want to know is why the hell is white version being delayed again? Like everyone else outside of Apple, I have no idea. Is it a problem with the glass supplier? That they're prioritizing the black ones for now? That they're working on an antenna modification? Any of those things could be the reason behind th... #TC #Apple #Verizon #ATT #Iphone4 #Iphone5

Firefox Just Perfected Tabbed Browsing. It’s Like Apple’s Expose Plus Spaces For The Web
If you're anything like me, at any given time you have a dozen to two dozen tabs open across multiple web browser windows. It's great to have all these webpages open and ready to click on at any second, but it's a nightmare to try and remember where each is with so many open. I shudder to think how much time I waste on this each day. Luckily, Mozilla is working on a solution.

Quick Look At the Motorola i1 With Push-to-talk
In a few short years, Android has essentially taken over the feature phone market. By hiding most of the difficult features, carriers are able to produce a phone that's cool, app rich, and familiar.

HP, Read Our Comments, Consumers Want The Windows 7 Slate, Too
HP reveled most of its tablet strategy yesterday at the Fortune's Brainstorm conference. The Windows 7 HP Slate is headed to the enterprise sector this fall while the webOS-power Palmpad will go head-to-head against the iPad later. The plan itself really isn't that surprising as I saw this coming shortly after Palmpad was trademarked. But what I didn't expect was the outcry from consumers who actually want a Windows 7 Slate.

French startups attempt to get the last laugh at France.fr disaster
Not to worry, France.fr is still down - not much has changed on that front - but turns out French startups want to join in the fun and be the ones who get the last laugh.
