Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Adobe Systems has opened up the source code for the scripting language of the widely used Flash Player to Mozilla Foundation, creator of the Firefox web browser. Access to the code will enable the development of faster and richer interactive Web 2.0 style of applications that will work well with Firefox.
The source code, called ActionScript Virtual
machine, is based on the ECMAScript programming standard, which is also
used by Microsoft's JScript and similar to Sun's JavaScript.
Mozilla will incorporate ActionScript Virtual machine into an open
source project called Tamarin aimed at providing web developers with a
unified standard scripting engine.
According to Adobe, its scripting engine has clear performance
advantages over the JScript engine used by Microsoft. Some observers
say that the inclusion of ActionScript into Firefox will widen its
performance lead for Web 2.0 style applications on Internet Explorer.
Microsoft has yet to react to the news but Adobe has indicated that it
would like Internet Explorer to also incorporate ActionScript.
