Adobe: Engage and AIR

I'm at the Adobe Engage event is SF today, for the launch of Adobe AIR. Its been a while coming (beginning with Adobe Apollo), with much written about it.

Interesting elements: desktop integration (peristent storage, UI touchpoints, etc.), full HTML(via WebKit) support, integrated PDF display, and an application packaging model for easy install and update (distribution).

The two most important pieces (IMHO) are the persistent storage model and application packaging model - these start to bring the
benefits of "content" to executable applications... that its "Flash" underneath is interesting but not necessarily the important part. These technologies do provide a differentiated but overlapping feature set that I don't mean to downplay, but HTML, Flash, PDF, etc. are, I think, going to end up being more about onboarding developers.

Hard to appreciate how important distribution is as a part of application lifecycle management.

The natural comparison points are
Silverlight and Prism, and as with those two, distribution will be less the issue than finding the compelling applications will be (although you should note that Silverlight, in particular, is more an answer to Flash than AIR).

Adobe is significantly advantaged in this regard because (a) they're cross-platform (by that I mean crossing OS, browser and Web/Desktop boundaries), and (b) they're committed to the platform - the biggest knock with Microsoft and the Mozilla Foundation is that its hard to tell how serious they really are. Remember when all of Vista was going to *require* .NET? Or remember ChromeEffects? Or Blackbird?

That said, I think one chink in the AIR platform (IMHO) is that it provides no way for third parties to natively extend the platform - Adobe still thinks about applications as B2C propositions. A second knock is that they still haven't gotten the "just in time" element of application and platform install quite right (I've written on this before) - it will limit (again IMHO) where users prefer websites to applications.


Still - there's a lot to like.

More shortly - Kevin Lynch is talking now...

永久歯を失った場合、義歯(入れ歯)やブリッジにてその部位を補う 治療がありますが、それぞれの欠点もあり、硬いものを食べずらくなったり、 発声での違和感、抜けた歯の周りの健全な歯も削ることにより、周りの その歯も寿命が短くなったりさまざまなデメリットも つきものです。 インプラント治療とは顎に結合性の良いチタンなど の土台(人工歯根)を埋め、その上に人工の歯を 装着する治療で、個人差はありますが、入れ歯や ブリッジに比べて、より元の状態に近づきます。 そのため"第三の永久歯"と言われることもあります。 詳しくはお気軽にお尋ねください。わかりやすく 丁寧にご説明いたします。
歯を1本失った場合 失った部分にインプラントを1本埋入します。従来は、健全な両隣りの歯を削ってブリッジを用いて治療

歯を全て失った場合 従来の総入れ歯ではなくインプラントを用いて治療します。この方法なら食物が入れ歯と口腔粘膜の間に挟まったり、入れ歯が合わなくなるようなことはありません。

NPCs can indeed world of warcraft gold dodge from behind. I've had them dodge my backstabs and mutilates a few times, and those can only be done from the back, so buy wow gold it's not a question of them "turning around just in time" either.Those cases are clear to my mind because every time it happens, I ask myself "how the hell do you dodge an world of warcraft gold attack you can't even SEE?"Melee DPSers in your raid are playing very badly, increasing the damage to your tank and wow power leveling decreasing their own damage output. Mobs do dodge from behind, but they don't parry or block. Simply fighting from behind world of warcraft gold a mob results in an increase of 5% in your DPS on most mobs because you cut cheap wow gold parry out, plus you avoid giving the mob the 'next world of warcraft gold swing is 50% faster' that they get on a successful parry.Don't forget that wow powerleveling some even get BONUS attacks when they parry. I can't tell you how many times we wiped on Gruul because of hateful world of warcraft gold strikes...Melee DPS should always be behind mobs as much as possible in raids.I've learned that attacking players from the back means they can't block, parry, or dodge. Is this the same with wow power leveling mobs?It's supposed to be the case, however I'm not sure if it always works that way in practice.i have never heard world of warcraft gold anything about hitting a player from behind making it so they cant buy wow gold dodge or parry, in raids melee classes never go behind there targets so i assume there is no such thing world of warcraft gold and its the same for mobs.Yes, players can block parry or dodge attacks from behind. Even against a rogue ambushing from cheap wow gold stealth that the player wasn't even aware that they were there. The same applies world of warcraft gold to NPCs. The only time positioning matters is that the target needs to be in front of you, and some rogue and druid catform abilities wow power leveling require you to be either behind or in front of your target.Players CANNOT Dodge block or parry attacks that come from behind them.NPCS CANNONT BLOCK OR PARRY attacks that world of warcraft gold come from behind them.NPCS CAN dodge attacks from behind BUT players cannot.this is why in a raid all melee classes wow gold kaufen need to attack from behind the boss in order to reduce the amount of parries.I understand that world of warcraft gold this forum is for beginners.but when a beginner asks a question, please understand what you are talking about before wow powerleveling you spread misinformation.keep in mind that you can MISS from all directions. So if you are a rogue and you ambush a player, they dofus kamas wont BLOCK it, but you can MISS your attack.

I remembered that when I started playing this Rohan game with some little cheap rohan money. If you do not like upgrading level step by step, you can cost rohan gold to help your character to reach level high. rohan crone has many ways for us to use. When you start the Rohan Online game, your character will be level 1. My friends all told me that the best way to spend rohan online gold is a good way. But I could not like spending my own rohan online crone.
