Submission + - Apollo is now AIR (skia.net)

skia writes: "Adobe has change the name (and released a new beta) of the integrated runtime formally known as 'Apollo'. Now called AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), the new beta 'allows developers to incorporate PDF by leveraging Adobe Reader® 8.1 functionality [and adds] new capabilities such as support for transparent HTML windows, drag and drop support, and complete access to Adobe AIR and Flash APIs.' Also included in the new AIR beta is support for SQLite.

Irrespective of the 'Apollo' brand awareness that is being squandered by this name change, does anyone else think it's a bad idea to christen a runtime with a homonym for 'err'?"
