Researchers share video contact lens vision

@ Martin

Surely it doesn't matter where the idea came from - except for giving credit. It has the potential to benefit all sorts of areas. Most immediately, our armed forces and emergency services.

Serious Flash vulns menace at least 10,000 websites

Bad Rap

As a Flash author, I feel that advertisers have given honest developers and designers everywhere a bad rap! We don't set out to intentionally annoy the hell out of visitors. Quite the opposite. At least for me, one of the initial reasons I got into Flash was for that fancy wow factor - back in Flash 4. Over time, I've taken much more of a function over form approach. That is to say most, if not all of my flash work these days involves less and less animation. I should point out that most of my work is also targeted at the user's desktop and not web browsers.

Even so, it's quite dispiriting reading these comments and discovering so many of you indiscriminately blocking all flash content because of content like the annoying animated adverts, when there is a veritable plethora of fine flash efforts that don't shout and scream at you.

Stop this Flash-bashing forthwith.
