Using Adobe AIR to Solve the “File Problem”
via Ryan Stewart - Rich Internet Application Mountaineer by Ryan Stewart on May 17, 2008
Unfortunately when explaining AIR I usually fall back on “well you can use it to take your applications offline. People just seem to get offline because they see all of these applications moving to the browser and it’s kind of a pain when you don’t have an internet connection and they don’t work. That’s the easy sell. But for me, the value of AIR has always been much more nuanced. The...

The Day Google Erased Me From the Internet - Why I Want Microsoft to Be Competitive in Search
via Ryan Stewart - Rich Internet Application Mountaineer by ryanstewart on May 24, 2008

It also made me hope that every single company with an idea about how to improve search, including Microsoft, continues to try and beat Google. I was working on a blog post and was searching for something I’d written before so that I could reference it. Instead of using...

At some level it comes down to a company trust issue but a lot of people trust Google and it seems like there's not much recourse for something like this if it happens to you.I'm a big fan of services and of...

The Valley Versus the Mountain (Silicon or Seattle?)
via Ryan Stewart - Rich Internet Application Mountaineer by Ryan Stewart on February 14, 2008
This is one of the reasons I like Tech Crunch; Mike's personality gets to show through. In this case he's defending Silicon Valley in a discussion about whether or not Seattle is as good as Silicon Valley. Mike's arguments can be summed up in the old Ebb song: "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere" And sure, Silicon Valley has the most potent collection of ideas among...

via Ryan Stewart - Rich Internet Application Mountaineer by ryanstewart on May 26, 2008
Oliver Goldman wanted to make sure you knew that and I agree.

AIR and .NET Sitting in a Tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G
via Ryan Stewart - Rich Internet Application Mountaineer by Ryan Stewart on January 16, 2008
Mike Chambers just posted about a really cool project he's started that lets Adobe AIR talk to native .NET/C# code. Anyone who has been following AIR knows that native extensibility is a big request. For a number of reasons it wasn't something we could include with 1.0 and it was somethi
