Still no Flash for the iPhone
Adobe announced they are going to introduce Flash Player 10 for most mobile operating systems. I say most, because there is still no Flash Player for the iPhone.

Help .net Magazine Execute IE6
Everyone knows how much I hate Internet Explorer 6. I personally wasn’t a fan when it had 90% market penetration and I am even less of a fan now that it is somehow hanging onto a 20ish% share long after it should be dead.

I was out of town the last couple days. Thanks to Wordpress’s fantastic publish date feature, my loyal readers didn’t notice a difference because I still published articles bright and early every morning. Where was I?
