Submission + - Cyanogenmod 9 stable is out (means Android 4 ICS) (cyanogenmod.com)
techtech writes: Builds for CyanogenMod 9 stable will be rolling out to our servers tonight. As noted before, this will be the end of the line for the ICS branch of our code; only critical bug fixes will be merged moving forward.
Tonight’s release is for the majority of our ICS supported devices, the stragglers will catch up, and we will leave the door open for merging in additional devices from maintainers, external and internal. The team itself, will focus solely on Jelly Bean and maintenance of the CM 7 codebase.
On the topic of nightlies, this release also serves as an end to our CM 9 nightlies, to make way for nightlies chock full of Jelly Bean goodness. A follow-up post will be made when we enable those builds.

Comment MIPS for super computers (Score 1) 100
Seems like MIPS has been used in budget super computers lately in China. Nice that they are early out with porting this. Someone should make a cheap unbranded, unthemed, vanilla. android phone.
Submission + - IBM celebrating 10 years since Deep Blue beating Kasparov (ibm.com) 2
techtech writes: On May 11, 1997, an IBM computer called IBM ® Deep Blue ® beat the world chess champion after a six-game match: two wins for IBM, one for the champion and three draws. The match lasted several days and received massive media coverage around the world. It was the classic plot line of man vs. machine. Behind the contest, however, was important computer science, pushing forward the ability of computers to handle the kinds of complex calculations needed to help discover new medical drugs; do the broad financial modeling needed to identify trends and do risk analysis; handle large database searches; and perform massive calculations needed in many fields of science.

You should take a look on these samples:
You can also animate vector (svg is native i modern browsers, some gpu accelrated even) with fallback for older browsers, (which raphael takes care of) Maybe not there yet, but another sign that flash plugin will die.
About the open source project, sure, but no one have bothered making a good plugin then, why bother.
Comment Protocol instead of plugin (Score 2) 507
I think they should open it, and it should not be plugin, but a protocol, as in flash://adobe.com would launch the app/anim/advanced air application/whatever in flash.app / flash.exe or your open source choice for executing flash.
And at this time when you can do everything for the most in html (html5/csse3/js) it just need skills., why should you embed the really advanced stuff flash could do like 3d games etc. For HTML pages, html is the best.
Then I do not need to restart the browser everytime there is an update to flash either, much safer than a forced execution of flash (I use flashblocking), I do not see the reason for a page to have a lot of different flash animations one page, that scenario would usually be just ads.
And you do not need flash for playing video, that era is over. If you are a developer and can not manage to make a cross platform player / solution and a worst case fallback to flash, you should not develop that page.
