Adobe Flash Player 10.2 has been released and comes with some spanking new features.

It now supports Stage Videos which allows Flash to utilize your machines’s hardware acceleration features thus greatly improving performance.

10.2 also introduces support for multiple monitors. No more headaches when trying to multi-task while watching a video, this is when you can only play flash videos on one screen and not the other.

Another cool feature is the support for native mouse cursors. Developers can now design and implement custom cursors for their work. I see this really useful for educational software.

And finally some sub-pixel rendering to improve text in your flash videos. Advertisers will love this more…..

Let your browser update your flash player or grab it manually from Adobe.

If you’re on Ubuntu, simply run the command below to get updated.

#> sudo apt-get update
#> sudo apt-get upgrade

Get home, pop it into the DVD player and you’ll have to wait about 10 – 20 mins before all the ads, warnings and promos are done.

Pirated DVDs are straightforward. No promos, no warnings, no ads. What you want is what you get.

Which do you prefer?

The pic below speaks for itself.

Almost all corporate users today use notebooks at work. The “Lenovo ThinkPad” is a favorite choice. Why? I don’t know. I at my work place we are all on Lenovo ThinkPads.

Earlier this week Lenovo issued a battery recall program for it’s ThinkPad R60, R61, T60, T61, X60 and X61 series. The faulty batteries either held only minimum charge or completely stop functioning. Lenovo has come back to ensure the faulty batteries don’t pose any risk to the end users.

To check if your battery falls into the bad battery list, head on over to Lenovo’s battery recall page. Download and run the Battery Diagnostic Tool to check your battery model, if compromised you will be redirected to another page to initiate the replacement process.

The PS3 slim is almost here. I’ts coming out in September and prices at USD 299.

It’s slim, has a tough looking black finish, weighs in at 7.05lb and comes standard with a 120GB hard disk. All squeezed into the new slim form factor.

Check out the PS3 Slim intro by Sony’s Jack Tretton.

Here’s a comparison chart I pulled off engadget.

ps3-slim-compare

I’m not sure, I’ve go a white PS3 at home and somehow feel it looks better then slim. Well, I’ve only seen photos of the PS3 Slim so far, might just change my mind when I actually get to see one up close and personal.

Anyone know when we can expect to see the PS3 Slim in Malaysia?

Big boy Microsoft  submitted 20,000 lines of code to the Linux kernel community for review and inclusion into the Linux kernel tree. All under the GPLv2 license.

The code, made up of 3 Linux drivers will  enable all flavours for Linux to run on Windows 2008 through it’s Hyper-V hypervisor technology. Providing better cross platform/vendor support and performance gains.

Well, I guess even the giant now realises that it’s time to come out and share. Doing it alone doesn’t quite work any more. The community really does have a voice that gets heard!

It’s going to be interesting to see the community’s response to this thou. There’s going be mixed feelings for sure. The haters vs the lovers.

From my point of view, this move will take Linux deeper into the enterprise arena. Organisations that were once pro Windows will now have more options that directly enable them to support and run more applications on different platforms.

What do you think?

Kingston’s rolled out a new flash drive, the Data Traveler 200.

At 128GB it’s the largest flash drive availalbe today and also the most expensive with a price tag of USD 550. There is also a 64GB model priced at USD 215 and a 64GB model priced at USD 120 if 128GB is too much for you to handle.

With so much storage capacity squeezed into such small form factors, are portable HDDs going to be something of the past? Pricing will be the major arguable point but looking at how hassle free thumb drives are compared to portable hdd drives, it’s gonna be an interesting adventure.

What do you think?
