Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?

By Roger Strukhoff

Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Adobe Flash Player Update 3 Beta 1 Heavily Improves Flash Video

Adobe has released a new Flash Player 9 update rich of performance and quality improvements especially in video playback

Adobe has released a new Flash Player 9 update (build 9.0.60.120) rich of performance and quality improvements expecially in video playback.
In my opinion the best improvements are:

- Multi-threaded video decoding. The VP6 video decoding will now be performed in a separate thread if a multi-core system is detected while the main thread does rendering and post processing of the video. 1080p video decoding is now possible on dual core machines.

- Full screen video decoding will leverage hardware scaling. Wonderful! why to scale a 640x480 video to 1280x1024 using the main processor when all the computer video cards today have video scaling technology? I think this is really a must for the definitive consacration of Flash Video Technology. I'll post as soon as possible a test of this feature.

- VBL in fullscreen. The player is now capable to syncronize the rendering in fullscreen to the "vertical blank" for a smooth playback of flash movies.

- Automatic Mipmap for scaled videos and picture. Optimal for video thumbs

- Faster Vp6 entropy decoding and improved deblocking filter.

I'm very excited of these improvements. I'll keep you updated with tests and samples.
