As reported by Sandra Nakama, Comedy Central decided to use Flash to stream Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's upcoming rally to Flash enabled Android 2.2 (Froyo) devices.

The Adobe MAX 2010 Day 2 keynote (which I co-hosted with Ely Greenfield and Matt Chotin) is online on Adobe TV. Here it is, all 2 hours of it:

This morning's Adobe MAX keynote was tons of fun (for us presenters, I think the audience enjoyed it, too). We've posted lots of videos on the Adobe MAX YouTube Channel. Check them out, especially Technology Street and the music videos.

Following up our Adobe MAX keynote announcements, we've just posted lots of great stuff on Adobe Labs, including Flex SDK Hero, Flash Builder Burrito, Flash Catalyst Panini, and a new beta of Adobe AIR Launchpad.

Adobe CTO just took to the stage to kick of the Adobe MAX 2010 opening keynote. This keynote is going to be amazing, we have some incredible stuff in store. And then tomorrow I'll be co-hosting our Day 2 keynote, and, well, can't tell you more, but you'll want to be there!

It's been a while since I posted examples of TSA rules, policies, and behaviors. But, I just have to share this one:

The primary security entrance at DTW McNamara Terminal was closed the past couple of weeks while they installed a new millimeter wave scanner (whole body imaging device). Better security, yeah! Or not!

I went through the newly opened security lanes this morning. There is a single millimeter wave scanner sitting to the right of two typical metal detectors. And some passengers are being routed to the new scanner while others are being routed to the metal detectors. Random, right? Well ...

The thing is that there are two entrances to the security area, the left for most of the flying public, and the right for frequent flyers and elite members. In other words, the new scanner is in front of the frequent flyer line.

I stood and watched for a little while, just to see who was getting routed where and how random the routing really is. And sure enough, the majority of passengers directed to the new improved scanning are the ones entering security right in front of the machine. Which passengers? Elite members and frequent flyers, the passengers that the airlines and TSA know best (many of whom have been pre-screened, too)!

Wow, I feel so much safer!

I'm getting ready to head to Los Angeles for Adobe MAX 2010. As in previous years, I've been part of the MAX team working on everything from content to keynotes to promotions and more. And having done this for over a decade now (including MAX and DevCon previously), I can safely say (safely, as in not spilling any beans) that this is going to be the best MAX ever.

Nice Mashable story, title says it all.

Burrito is the codename of the next version of Flash Builder. And the Flash Builder team has been posting product sneaks on The Official Flex Team Blog.

Title says is all. The Packager for iPhone gives Flash developers a fast and efficient method to reuse existing code from ActionScript 3 projects to deliver native applications on iOS devices.

Not that any of us thought it was not relevant, but ... eWeek is running a slide-show entitled Adobe Cold Fusion: 8 Reasons Why It Is Still Relevant.

We just released a significant update to the Adobe ActionScript 3 SDK for Facebook Platform, making it even easier to build Facebook applications that combine the strengths of the Flash Platform. Developed by gskinner.com, this class library facilitates the development of Flash Platform applications that communicate with Facebook using the Graph API.

eWeek is running an article entitled Picking the Perfect Tablet: 10 Must-Have Features. Here's item #9:

9. Flash Support

Adobe's Flash has been panned by Apple as a potential security risk that the company's iOS platform doesn't need. But further inspection of Flash running on Android OS reveals that iOS does need it. And for tablets, which can be computer replacements, it's an absolute necessity. Because of that, consumers should expect every website to work. That won't happen on the iPad. That's a major mark against Apple's tablet for any consumer who wants the best browsing experience.
