#FF00AA

Everybody labels Microsoft’s Silverlight as a competitor to Flash. I haven’t had time to look into it yet, but considering the underlying technology (.NET, C#…), it’s more like an actually viable attempt to repossess the whole “web as an operating system” paradigm. Shouldn’t we be more worried? (Not that Adobe’s any better, but Ajax on the other hand is an open technology.) Or did Microsoft manage to shoot themselves in the foot by not including it right away into IE7?

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
