Adobe Flash Player 10.2 beta arrives, expands hardware acceleration

By Vlad Savov posted Dec 1st 2010 2:29AM

Adobe's ubiquitous Flash Player has a new beta version out today that promises to complete the move to hardware acceleration of video played back using the web software. You'll no doubt be aware that the current, non-beta Flash already does some offloading of video tasks to the GPU, but the new Stage Video API permits the entire workload to be shifted over, resulting in "just over 0 percent" CPU utilization when playing back 1080p clips. Should you doubt the veracity of Adobe's bold new claims, the company's set up some demo vids for you to test this out for yourself after downloading the beta -- hit the source link to find out more. Windows, Mac and Linux machines are supported right out of the gate, while Microsoft gets an extra bone thrown its way with Internet Explorer 9 hardware acceleration also being implemented in this latest iteration of Flash. Full PR after the break.

Next week: Edinlexus buys an Macbook and install Ubuntu on it after nearly getting banned for constantly promoting products from a crap corporation the people should be steering clear of.

 

CRAP Corporation ?? ... well I think you are ignorant. I am not a promoter of MS. I use a lot of other stuff from other companies. But, Do you really know why you hate MS? Coz it charges you for their software? Coz they dont give you their code by not being OPEN SOURCE? Every company does some crap software and then makes it better. You can looks at Andriod 1.0 and Buzz as an example. Ok google stuck to Andriosd and made it a fantastic mobile OS but they had to discontinue BUZZ. Same is the case with Chrome, when it was release there were loads of bugs. I know this as I was an early adopter of Chrome through its beta. So is Apple open source enough for you? Does oracle give you their code for their Database software? What about Adobe are they open source enough? Do they give the code they developed all these years for their flash player and plugins? These are all corporations and they do what ever they should to keep their software IP to themselves. Dont know what exactly is your problem dude.

Back in the days I used to be part of Red Hat linux local groups and attend various group meetings. I worked an open source driver for SD cards for eCos embedded OS and VxWorks all open source and linux based. I used to have dual boot with Windows Xp and Ubuntu. These days Ubuntu is just amazing! Moved miles away from what RedHat, Debian and Suse linux and Solaris 7 used to be around 6-8 years ago from a desktop point of view. Probably you dont remember the days when MS was called plug-and-play and all other opensources OSes were called Plug-and-pray for desktops. But no software company is perfect! There are always high and lows. I am pretty sure the LOW period for MS is gone. They are now making good products that are good to compete. Windows 7, Xbox, Kinect, Windows Phones 7, IE9, Win Server 2008 R2, Office 2010, Sql Server 2008 R2, Sharepoint 2010, Windows Embedded 7, Zune + marketplace, Bing, MS Surface are all looking pretty good. Ok Bing cannot compete with Google but bing maps are very nice. WP7 is not as good as iOS4 in some ways but it will catch up with the new updates coming in Jan. The marketplace has not got as many apps as iOS or Andriod has but most the big names are coming to the market place. The DEV tools are pretty amazing too ...

Re-read your posts, they are pretty much all directly copied from MS marketing material... LOOK CLOSELY and remove the blinkers

Open source does not mean free by any means! There are some large BI products that I use that are open source but charge a licensing/support fee (Oracle being one of them as it happens, and yes for some products Oracle DOES release their source, so check your statements carefully)

 

You can looks at Andriod 1.0 and Buzz as an example. Ok google stuck to Andriosd and made it a fantastic mobile OS

and this is incorrect in the strictest sense, Android may well be the OS underneath but the handset manufacture has put their own UI on it, HTC for example use sense, and samsung do their own as well...

 

Same is the case with Chrome, when it was release there were loads of bugs. I know this as I was an early adopter of Chrome through its beta.

This is fair enough, IE certainly has had more than it's fair share of the bug quota though.

 

So is Apple open source enough for you?

Yes, ever heard of Darwin?

 

Does oracle give you their code for their Database software?

Actually, yes, MySQL source code is out there :)

VirtualBox is also open source

 

What about Adobe are they open source enough? Do they give the code they developed all these years for their flash player and plugins?

Adobe do have some code out there, but I'm not heavily involved enough to comment, so you can have that one.

 

These are all corporations and they do what ever they should to keep their software IP to themselves.

Indeed, but there comes a time when someone KEEPS going on about the wonderful this and wonderful that, that is becomes rather obvious that they are blinded by loyality/devotion/fandom that they don't see something outside that sphere.

See above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Redhat != Linux

 

I worked an open source driver for SD cards for eCos embedded OS and VxWorks all open source and linux based.

VxWorks isn't linux based, it is a realtime OS, very different beast

 

I used to have dual boot with Windows Xp and Ubuntu. These days Ubuntu is just amazing! Moved miles away from what RedHat, Debian and Suse linux and Solaris 7 used to be around 6-8 years ago from a desktop point of view. Probably you dont remember the days when MS was called plug-and-play and all other opensources OSes were called Plug-and-pray for desktops.

Guess, you never tried Win98 which REALLY WAS PLUG and PRAY!!

 

But no software company is perfect! There are always high and lows. I am pretty sure the LOW period for MS is gone. They are now making good products that are good to compete.

Hold on, I don't think people here have had a go at MS at such, it is your blinkered devotion they have been poking ;)

 

Windows 7, Xbox, Kinect, Win Server 2008 R2, Office 2010, Sql Server 2008 R2, Sharepoint 2010,

I'll give you those, although I won't run windows 2008 server as i like to get some sleep at night and my linux based servers let me do that :) IE9 is beta so doesn't really enter in here...

 

Windows Embedded 7, Zune + marketplace, Bing, MS Surface are all looking pretty good. Ok Bing cannot compete with Google but bing maps are very nice. WP7 is not as good as iOS4 in some ways but it will catch up with the new updates coming in Jan. The marketplace has not got as many apps as iOS or Andriod has but most the big names are coming to the market place. The DEV tools are pretty amazing too ...

Surface never took off in a big way (and yes I looked into it and the costs where JUST stupid)

Strange how Winmo7 hasn't really been picked up by the operators in anger yet...... guess the consumer's know what they like then.....

 

 

Want to explain -> Vista? ;)

So all you are saying is all of these corporations have some of their software in opensource then so do MS. Proprietary software dont have to be open source. What ever software we write is our IP and we would not like to share the code.

Pick your argument carefully and try not to deviate....

 

CodePlex is a hosting area for projects, so amounts to be SourceForge basically....

 

I have zero problem with companies being open-source or not, never have done, the tool that suits the job gets used IMHO.

 

Editted to include your edit :)
