Adobe fight fire with fire

guya — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:40:15 +0000

Recently Adobe has been needing to deal with a massive force attacking its main domain of dominance, we can call this domain - the highly interactive web or RIA. I don’t refer to Microsoft SilverLight which is supposed to compete with Adobe Flash on the same ground, but to the brutal MS marketing machine. This [...]

My blog has been hacked

guya — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:14:56 +0000

The first part of an hacker’s job would be to gather some information about her target, server, technology and software that runs on the desired target.

guya — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:00:49 +0000

Flash, SilverLight, Android, JavaFX, QT and the iPhone. Seems that everyone wants to redefine our mobile phone, the ultimate device/gadget of all time. I’ve written a summary of the latest advancement in the area of rich mobile applications.

OSE instead of SEO

guya — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 01:12:12 +0000

The promise of google to have a human like understanding of the Internet it crawls has yet to reach reality. My point is that, we should start to expect Optimized Search Engines (OSE) instead of painfully optimizing our content for them (SEO). Currently search engines can’t understand RIA (Rich Internet Application), websites written in Ajax [...]

The greatest SilverLight lie

guya — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:39:31 +0000

I’ve been to a few SilverLight events and read about it on the web, I’ve even played with it a little, and I think it’s very interesting. But, one thing I’ve learned from all of these experiences, beside the fact that the average dot.net developer feels awed when he sees how to create a rectangle [...]
