CS5 and iPhone... we knew it was too good to be true!

I had a few older posts about CS5 and the iPhone publish feature...

But it seems this is all off!

Very sad indeed! For as much as Flash may be able to be replaced in most websites with jQuery or HTML5... Flash will always have it uses. The fact that it can instantly publish a standalone exe for PC or MAC so easily makes touchscreens for events a dream. And there is some animation you just can't do with HTML5. We were really hoping we could easily port existing Flash jobs for the iPhone or iPad. Ah well... now do we really want to learn C?

Latest rumour is a court case between Adobe and Apple. Is Apple the new Microsoft??

Asynchronous Tracking?

According to Google...

"Asynchronous tracking is an improved way to track website visitors with Google Analytics. Unlike a traditional installation, asynchronous tracking optimizes how browsers load ga.js so its impact on user experience is minimized. It also allows you to put your Analytics snippet higher in the page without delaying subsequent content from rendering.

Although asynchronous tracking uses a different Analytics snippet and a different syntax for tracking calls, it supports the exact same tracking customizations as the traditional snippet. In fact, the asynchronous tracking syntax is also more flexible than the traditional snippet. See the Usage Guide for information."

Slow Leopard?

OK, we have quiet a few PC's and Mac's here... but the two new Mac's running Snow Leopard were woefully slow viewing and accessing shared folders and files across the network.

If you are in this boat, this will make your day:

In "System Preferences", click on "Network Preferences" and select "Ethernet". Now click on "Advanced" and in the first tab 'TCP/Ip' change "Configure IPv6 from 'Automatic' to 'Off'.

Do the same with "Airport" if you are having trouble with slow wireless connections.

Mac Shortcuts

OK... no matter what people say, Mac's are not perfect. You WILL get the odd moment of booting issues, network connection problems, programs hanging etc. After all, it's just a computer!

This is a good reference for system boot up short cuts:
