    Flash Related Question

    Sadly true, I keep Firefox 32bit installed for that very reason, and the fact the eBay addon is stupidly 32bit only. Funny thing, I have Flash 10.1 Beta 3 installed on my Linux and Windows machines now. It seems to crash Firefox on Windows more than it does on Linux, although both are clearly...

    Flash Related Question

    Thing is, that is exactly the problem with flash. It seems to perform really randomly, on a slow machine it might run better than on a fast one. For some reason, its super sensitive to what system it is running on. As for Adobe, I am seriously confused. They have not developed GPU...

    This is insane, flash has always been and still is a vector animation package. Running it on the GPU would seem be a total no brainer that even Adobe could figure out. Also, why on earth would it need to be optimised per-GPU? Surely they can use OpenGL for 99% of what the GPU would speed up...

    And of course those of us with an N900 are looking forward to 10.1 support too mostly due to GPU acceleration support. Playing back video without GPU help is plain silly, just hammers your battery and stutters somewhat until its fully cached. Its really poor compared to playing back using the...

    Flash Related Question

    I own an N900 and you have to enter your IMEI to download the firmware image. I think that makes it pretty clear what their reaction would be if people start ripping the firmware apart for components. That leaves the only option being for someone who owns an N900 to upload the flash plugin...

    Release Fullspeed Amiga Emulation On Pandora!

    I am hoping once Pandora is out someone will port the Amiga emulator over to the N900 so I can play Pinball Dreams/Fantasies on that. I already got it on PSP minis but I hate the PSP, its so uncomfortable, so I end up playing it on the PS3 instead. Of course I also have it on iPod, but having...
