I'm With Adobe

The battle has begun.

Adobe Vs. Apple War Generates Rage, Facebook Group
It was inevitable. Adobe has an unofficial Facebook fan club: “I’m With Adobe,” an allusion to the viral “I’m With Coco” campaign for jilted ex-Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien. As of Saturday afternoon, the group (started by John Addis, a Web & Media Director at Rizzi Designs) has attracted more than 1,200 members in less than three days.
The group’s manifesto is:
The recent war between Adobe and Apple reached a breaking point on April 8, 2010, when Steve Jobs not only recommitted to never allowing Flash to run on the iPhone or iPad, but even banning Adobe’s new Flash-to-iPhone C compiler which was to go on sale Saturday, April 10.
There is no longer any debate as to who the “bad guy” is in this story — Apple has proven themselves to be anti-competition, anti-developer, and anti-consumer.
I stand with Adobe.
While you would expect a club like this to attract rabid Adobe supporters (and there is a lot of that), several members expressed their longstanding support for Adobe and Apple and the difficulty of reconciling their frustration with the new SDK agreement and their fierce loyalty to Apple. As one Facebook user put it :
How did we get to this point? The tension between Apple and Adobe has been simmering for quite a while, but the clear breaking point (as we all know) was the release of the new SDK agreement which essentially blocks Flash developers from the iPhone.
I tried to put together an (incomplete) collection of Adobe employee reactions— from the iPad release to Adobe’s “Viva La Resistance.” In my last post, “Adobe: Go Screw Yourself Apple,” some commenters pointed out that the title was unfair because it was the words of Adobe’s Platform Evangelist Lee Brimelow and not Adobe’s official position. True, Adobe CTO’s carefully worded (sadly, less colorful) blog was the “official” response, however, Brimelow’s post and comments by several of his Flash colleagues forms an interesting constellation that outlines a deep anger. Adobe is furious. Further, as we previously noted, Adobe did look at Brimelow’s blog and let him run with it anyway— only pushing him to extract one line and add a disclaimer (the disclaimer was added roughly one hour after he sent a Twitter link to his post).
First, before we look at the iPhone OS 4.0 fallout, let’s skip to somewhat happier times (to last weekend) when Adobe’s employees lined up at the Apple store to eagerly purchase Steve Jobs’ latest offering. Arno Gourdol, a member of the Adobe Air team, documents their morning: “After queuing for an hour at the flagship Apple Store in SF this morning, we finally got our hands on a stack of magical devices. We’ve spent the rest of the day having fun getting the first Adobe AIR apps running on the iPad….We have also been working on bringing up the first “HD” apps that take advantage of the gorgeous screen of the iPad.”

Personally, I stand with Adobe.

Moral of the story? F#*& with Apple and you will be crushed. Show some respect.

Go Adobe and Smash them apples!

Not really sure where I stand here. On one hand I'm kinda pissed at Apple, but on the other I can understand them not wanting developers to be lazy by producing poorly ported apps.
I dunno, in all honesty I don't really care. This was inevitable, and really Adobe can't do ****e about it.

Are you serious ? We all know that your personal vendetta against Apple is way over the top and you need help. But are you seriously sitting here in a mobile phone forum comparing Apple computer to Nazi Germany ? Comparing a company that has sold 50 million iPhones to " willing " consumers that voluntarily spent their hard earned money on what they think is a great product , to a regime that rounded up 6 million jewish people and exterminated them ?
Are you trying to offend as many people world wide as you can ?
MODS CAN WE PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD AND INFORM THE OP OF XDA RULES

Thread closed for the reasons already noted by denco7...
rorytmeadows,
2. Be polite and respect your fellow xda-dev user.
There is no need for cursing, flaming, racism or personal attacks. There are a lot of different nationalities on this forum all with different cultures, this means that no matter what you're like, you'll have to adjust to people that are most definitely not like you. For this reason we'd like to ask you to refrain from discussions about religion or politics, we do not wish to limit your right to free speech, but we have noticed these topics tend to get heated and might be best discussed in a different environment. It will gain you a lot of respect if you help to keep the peace. It's disrespectful and therefore not permitted to create Alias Member names in an attempt to deceive others.
Take this as a warning.

Internet Censorship - EMERGENCY ACTION REQUIRED

Please
Watch​Anonymous: Internet Censorship - EMERGENCY ACTION REQUIRED​
THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE CALL TO ACTION! There are two new immediate threats to internet freedom: Obama's Cyber-Security Executive Order and the TPPA. We must mobilize resistance immediately.
Transcript:
Greetings Citizens of the United States and the World.
Emergency Action Required.
We have been valiant thus far in protecting our internet. We stopped both SOPA and CISPA. Then they pushed for the international treaty, ACTA, and the entire world pushed back. But we're not finished yet. There are two more threats that we must unite together again to defeat.
The first is a CISPA like executive order that the White House is considering. In order to pass these bills that Congress has rejected, the Obama administration has taken to the use of Executive Orders so that they may bypass Congress entirely. This is incredibly concerning as the process is very complex for Congress to overturn laws passed this way. The Supreme Court may also declare it unconstitutional, but such incidents are very rare. With enough opposition, we can stop this before it even gets off the ground.
The second, and more immediate threat, is another international treaty. Like ACTA, this treaty has been negotiated in secret. The Trans-Pacific Partnership is so secret that not even the Congressional Committee in charge of such treaties can even see the bill. It is however, viewable by six hundred corporate representatives. All we know is what has been leaked thus far, and it reaches well beyond the scope of simply censoring the internet. It's yet another bill to grant more power to multinational corporations. If this treaty is ratified, the only way it can be altered is through the agreement of every country involved.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has tried to rally the troops: "Don't Let TPP Become the Next ACTA: Contact Your Lawmakers and Demand Transparency!"
...the TPP is being negotiated in secret, and on a fast timetable. We don't know what's in the TPP IP chapter, and that's what worries us. Entertainment industry executives who are members of the Industry Trade Advisory Committee will likely get to see the agreement drafts -- again -- but the rest of us will be kept in the dark unless we speak up now.
And they are not alone in attempting to warn everyone. The Huffington Post, Guardian, ACLU, Examiner, Alternet, Current, Techdirt, DailyKos, Truthout, and many more have all reported on this atrocity. Even members of Congress have introduced legislation due the extreme secrecy of this treaty.
This is an immediate call to action.
Contact your members of Congress, educate your friends and family, create art, videos, and stage protests. Do everything you can to help raise awareness as they plan to push this through before the next election. We have very little time to stop this. Many around the world and a few in the States have been trying to raise awareness. Let us unite once again to protect the very few freedoms we have left!
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive Oppression.
We do not Forget Censorship.
Expect us.

I've always wished the new Anon messages would just simultaneously appear on ALL TVs/monitors, interrupting everything going on and causing people to just stop what they are doing and watch. Like what happens in movies, usually with the antagonist.

Ya, me too!! That would be awesome!! But on the other hand, i think those people, who don't know who Anons are and what they are fighting against and for, will just think of them as some hacker who hacked into the TV stations and well some others will be scared and few others will just LOL.. And If that really happens, we will be very pleased!!:fingers-crossed:

So basically there's 2 things that might happen, that you know nothing about, but there's stuff that you suggest may probably happen.
Sigh. I feel like performing a bit of censorship of my own right now, but I'll restrain myself.

Help me change the future of education!

Let me preface all of this by saying:
I'm looking for input and help on my project, I'd love to answer any clarifying questions anyone might have. I'm trying to put my idea out there beyond the academic world/my social groups/peers/family members/etc. I've been getting a lot of positive feedback and emotional support but not much hands on help and mentoring. I'm sort of stuck in terms of upward movement without proper funding so, in addition to applying for competitions and grants, this is another way I'm trying to spread my project.

Simply put, I was one of those kids that was known in my class for disliking school. I never had trouble getting good grades, I had plenty of friends, I participated in lacrosse, played percussion in the band, and I was very involved in ceramics. However, when it came down to it, nothing I was learning academically was captivating. It seemed like I was piling on one distraction after another to get away from the fact that I had this burning desire to be passionate about what I was learning that wasn't being met. It wasn't until my junior year at West Chester University that I was introduced to a dialog style classroom. It was so much more engaging and interesting to hear and discuss other people's perspectives on the topic, using their own experiences to frame how they saw today's problems.
In class education and online education is not engaging enough. Students rarely have the opportunity to share and have a dialog about their perspectives on the topic. There is a huge disconnect between what is being taught and what students experience on a daily basis and it has caused me to see that our education system lacks a comprehensive way of connecting individual perceptions to the logical education framework.
Allowing students to interact in a structured dialog platform that leads the conversation into an area of sharing perspectives and developing a personal connection to the topic will allow for more interested and engaged students, critical/creative thinking and a passion for life long education. It also allows a safe space to raise concerns or issues the students are curious about. I want to create an optionally anonymous online structured dialog platform that is to be used as a supplement to traditional methods of teaching. I want to provide students a safe space and allow them the opportunity to share their experiences that are relevant to the topic and help each other broaden their world view. I want to inspire passion in education.
I believe if I can introduce this method to schools that are in need, they'll have more passionate kids graduating and going to universities. Unfortunately, I also understand that these same teachers are also pressed for time, must use their own funds to buy classroom supplies, and have to teach to the test in order to receive proper funding.
The dialog platform aims to influence students to have a dialog outside of the classroom, online. That's why I want to target universities first; I hope to inspire passion early on in students so they aren't wasting too much money trying to figure things out, especially with the insane increase in tuition costs. I want to show them that anything you choose can be an advantage depending on how you use it. I want to introduce passion back into the classroom and allow students to see that we all have limitless potential.
After an initial MVP is set up and tested in a classroom setting, I'd like to market my proof of concept to MOOC's to increase their 7-15% completion rate. Eventually I'd like to see a pro bono service provided for high schools in need to set up their dialog platform. I want students to understand that just because the options aren't presented right in front of you, it doesn't mean there aren't tons available to you; it just takes commitment, creativity, passion, time, and practice.
I'd love to answer any questions, receive feedback, your vote if you like my idea Place Vote Here (you can vote 3 times daily, top 3 projects gets a chance to win $3,000) and if you know anyone that may be interested in helping/joining me in trying to create this platform, please send them my way.
If you do in fact like my idea, it would mean the world to me if you'd spread it along your social and professional networks. The prize money isn't as important as the exposure I'm trying to gain for my project. I'm really looking for dedicated and talented individuals who want to be part of my project.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. You can contact me at Glenn.Chon[at]gmail.com

100% Truth about Global Currency Reset

In Video Game, the final person is the Final Boss.
If GCR is just a stupid game made by spirit beings, then who is the Boss?
All the intel providers you are following, listening are all beings toyed or try to gain something out of you. This post is the authentic 100% truth about the GCR and what is coming next.
1. All of your currency money note in the World today is Gold-Backed already, it is not fiat like many intel provider said.
And all the money today is still in the old Gold-Backed system control by a “certain group” with certain rule like in-out-country dinar exchange, etc.
2. That Gold-Backed system is going to gone very soon and is going to replaced by all nation asset-back money system.
So all your knowledge, rule & law about the dinar, dong, rial will not apply in this brand new money system.
3. You can all see the changing in all nation politics, leaders already. It is no coincidence at all.
4. To know more about the brand new money system, please read this article gnmms.forumotion.com/t5-global-brand-new-money-system
5. Now the question is how to transfer money from old system to new system?
6. Here we have 2 kind, 1 is bond note(Zimbabwe, Chilli, Government Bond, etc.) , 2 is currency (dong, dinar, rial, etc.)
7. All the currencies like dinar, dong, rial, etc. will be loop zero in general but increase in value. The reason will be used is like “tribulation for war, chaos in history,etc.), and the value will of their currencies will be increase from 2 to several times (less than 10 since 10 is 1 zero).
So all the brand new nation currencies will have rate from 1.0 to maximum 9.9 (This is the starting rate, it will only change once per year, there wont be any kind of forex, stock exchange in near future). There wont be any kind of 1$ for 10k or 20k in other local currency any more.
8. There will be global public announcement about this event very very soon. I may know the date but since I am not 100% sure then I do not prevent “guru like others”. Very very possible after Donald Trump return from his Asia tour, or even in 11-11-2017 in Hanoi, Vietnam.
9 It will takes 2-3 years to transfer completely from old current system to brand new fair & square money system.
10. It will take each nation only few week to designed and printed new currencies. And with the new moral system I already told, there won’t any stupid beings will fake or try to do some crazy stuffs.
That the 100% truth about the up coming GCR, you do not need to follow any “guru, expert”, just ask and check all the global events especially the Iraq.
In order to “perform a movie” for the public so everything can be seem as normal, we must wait Donald Trump visit and have Asia tour. Then we can have some “predictable news”: massive deals from Trump twitter #hohohaha
It is not for “underground website” but for the whole public people as well. That why there won’t any kind of GESARA, public disclosure, aliens like many freaking stupid websites talk everything. All will be shut down immediately, the group are promoting GESARA, aliens, public disclosure are the “BAD PEOPLE” who want chaos & war. They are only think for themself but not from the public view point.

The Coding Challenge Most Developers Overlook

Developers are under an immense amount of pressure to deliver more code, more quickly than ever before. A Dimensional Research report from 20201 states that more than half of developers report that they have 100x the volume of code that they did just ten years ago, while 92% of them report that the pressure to release code has increased in the same time span. With so much emphasis being placed on generating code and meeting software roadmap timelines, it’s not surprising that security is often relegated to secondary importance. More than half of the respondents reported that high security risks are the second biggest challenge they have to deal with as a result of the large volume of code required for the software they produce, after code quality. But while code quality is something that nobody will compromise on, because applications either work properly or don’t, security often gets short shrift. Rod Cope writes about software development security in Information Age, “…the increasing complexity of modern software development environments, not to mention the sheer volume of code and other digital assets being created, often in continuous, fast-paced environments, exacerbates the challenge.” It’s clear that security can create friction in the software development lifecycle and slow the roadmap down, but why should more developers pay attention to it? IBM’s “Cost of a Data Breach Report – 2020” sheds some light on this question. The average cost of a data breach, globally, was USD3.86M, while in the United States, that number was $8.64M. 16% of the breaches due to malicious attacks were caused by software that had vulnerabilities in it. A strong focus on security can mean the survival of a company that doesn’t have the resources to recover from a breach. If the potential costs are that large, the natural question is, “Why isn’t security given more prominence during the software development lifecycle?” There are a number of reasons, but the two that are most prominent are related to: The use of open source and third party software The lack of secure coding training in computer science and software development programs According to HackEDU’s 2021 Vulnerability Benchmark Report, the use of open source and third party software is cited as one of the biggest problems that companies face when it comes to software security. Synopsys published in its 2020 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis (OSSRA) report that 99% of codebases that were audited contained at least one open-source component. Shockingly, 91% of the codebases contained components that were over four years out of date or had not been actively developed within the previous 2 years. Companies use open source software because they don’t have the time to “reinvent the wheel”, and developers lean on these components to speed up the development process. While it buys developers speed, the cost, of course, is the risk of vulnerabilities, as the components aren’t being patched to address more recent vulnerabilities. The other major reason is due to developers’ training. At the time of this article’s writing, none of the Top 40 coding programs in the United States requires secure coding training. Since developers aren’t being imbued with the knowledge and the mindset for security, it doesn’t get the same kind of attention and focus as other aspects of software development. Given that, what can be done to remedy it? Secure coding training is the solution to the gap in secure development practices. There are numerous ways of educating developers on the topic, from videos to Powerpoint slides to in-person, hands-on training to their web-based counterparts. How do you decide what program is best, and what are the things to look for when evaluating secure coding training options? The questions to ask are: Is the training interactive, or hands-on? It’s always more powerful to learn by doing, instead of just by reading Are the lessons bite-sized, or monolithic? Bite-sized lessons allow developers to learn, then practice what they’ve learned without spending too much time on what they’re learning Is the training seamless, relevant, and fit into their development lifecycle? The ideal scenario is when training is delivered on an “as-needed” basis, based on the challenge that the developer is facing at that particular point in time Does the training teach both offensive and defensive skills, or defensive only? Offensive training, combined with defensive training, has been proven to be superior by a University of Mannheim study Are the administrative tools robust and allow the administrator to set up, deploy, manage and measure the developers’ progress easily? While security has traditionally been an overlooked component of a developer’s professional evolution, it plays an increasingly important role. As the number and frequency of malicious attacks rises, security must become a top priority for any coder, as secure coding knowledge will soon become a basic requirement for any software developer when a company evaluates them.
