<description><![CDATA[Concluding that its priorities should be on iOS andAndroid, Adobe Systems has stopped releasing its own version of its AIR programming foundation for Linux.AIR combines Flash and a Web browser to let programmers build standalone software that runs on any system with the underlying AIR &quot;runtime&quot; that executes the software. It's cross-platform technology, meaning for example that separate versions of TweetDeck--a prominent AIR app--don't need to be rewritten forMac OS and Windows.But starting with AIR 2.7, released this week, Adobe won't build a Linux version of AIR anymore, making the cross-platform technology a bit less cross-platform. Instead, it's relying on partners to do so on their own.&quot;We will no longer be releasing our own versions of Adobe AIR and the AIR SDK for desktop Linux, but expect that one or more of our partners will do so,&quot; Adobe said in a blog post.The move contrasts sharply with Adobe's bitter and public fight last year objecting to an Apple move that barred AIR-based apps from iOS devices. Apple eventually relented for AIR-derived apps, though it still won't let Flash Player itself onto iOS devices.In an FAQ (a PDF file no good reason that I can imagine), Adobe said Linux just isn't where the AIR action is taking place now.&quot;Our customers are focusing on creating applications for smartphones andtablets, and we are aligning our investment towards new features and platform support for the device market,&quot; Adobe said.One of the main features of AIR 2.7 is better performance on iOS devices--four times faster in some cases, according to Adobe developer evangelist Renaun Erickson. Also in 2.7 are several features from Flash Player 10.3, such as microphone noise cancelation, and the ability to move the AIR runtime to the SD card on Android.Linux on PCs has failed to take off widely, and only 1 in 200 AIR downloads are for Linux, added Dave McAllister, who spearheads Adobe's open-source work.&quot;With desktop Linux, we see a basically flat growth curve hovering around 1 percent,&quot; citing Net Applications' NetMarketshare statistics. &quot;And since the release of AIR, we've seen only a 0.5 percent download share for desktop Linux.&quot;Adobe is putting a priority on work that will let those partners port AIR to Linux, it said. &quot;Source code for the Adobe runtimes is available to qualified partners under the terms of the Open Screen Project,&quot; the company said. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:U. S. Air Force/Staff Sgt. Brian Ferguson)The Air Force has approved a blend of jet fuel and plant-based fuels to work with an aircraft for first time.The certification, announced yesterday, covers the C-17 Globemaster III, a transport aircraft made by Boeing and used for moving troops and cargo. The Air Force tested a blend of up to 50 percent of biofuel, called hydrotreated renewable jet fuel, and JP-8 jet fuel, and found no degradation in performance for pilots.The biofuel mix will burn cleaner, reducing the amount of sulfur compounds emitted and will further the military's goal of reducing its use of petroleum-based fuels, the Air Force said. &quot;When blended as we've done, this is a potential drop-in solution for jet fuel for our aircraft, requiring no modification to systems or special handling or monitoring,&quot; Jeff Braun, the Air Force's alternative fuel certification office chief, said in a statement.Because of its buying power and security risks from transporting fuels, the military is a very significant customer to prove out renewable energy products. A base in Afghanistan developed a solar power system to reduce the amount of diesel it uses in generators and the Air Force is also going to try out a waste-to-energy system later this year. In the commercial world, biofuel company Solayzme this week announced a partnership to develop aviation fuels with Quantas.Biofuel and chemicals company Gevo, which makes biobutanol, went public this week, one of the few biofuels companies to reach that point in scale. One of the products it intends to make is a &quot;biojet blendstock&quot; made by converting butanol to kerosene, a component of jet fuel. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Google TV in action.Google TV is apparently encountering a bit of static that has resulted in a programming change.A host of TV manufacturers has been expected to unveil new Internet-ready TVs at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next month. But Google has asked them to delay their plans so it can overhaul the Google TV software, according to a New York Times report that cited people familiar with the company's plans. Google representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The move comes less than a week after Google released an update to the software in an effort to make it more user friendly and improve Netflix integration. The Netflix experience on the previous software version was described by some reviewers as antiquated, and CNET's Matthew Moskovciak went so far as to say the software's &quot;Netflix app is about two generations behind those for competitors, such as Roku and Sony'sPS3.&quot;Google TV is one of the more high-profile attempts in recent history by the tech industry to marry the PC-based Internet and the traditional television world. Logitech and Sony have released devices running the software, which allows users to watch regular old broadcast television while pulling up a series of Internet-based applications and Web sites.However, Google TV has gotten off to a rocky start, and the search giant is still trying to get the big media companies to warm up to the software platform. So far, all of the major broadcast networks have blocked Google TV from providing access to their online content. NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox all block full episodes of their shows from appearing on the software platform that enables users to view Web content and video on their home TVs. However, Google TV supporters note that all the software does is make the freely available content posted to the Web by broadcasters accessible on TV sets.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One nifty aspect of &quot;Star Trek&quot; are the doors that slide open with a whisking sound. While most of us will forever use conventional swinging doors at home, one supergeek took matters into his own hands with the working air-powered Star Trek-style door.  Built by Instructables user uiproductions, the door gives me a nerdgasm. The Instructables Web site has complete DIY instructions (just hit &quot;next step&quot;), which will help you start your journey on the path to converting your living room to a starship bridge. Imagine hearing the familiar whooshing sound of your own door opening at home with the press of a button. Unfortunately, the fellow uses conventional-style white doors, which is rather anti-climactic. If I attempted something like this I'd go all out with Tron-esque glowing accents and a motion sensor, but I suppose this will do for now.The door was made with components from Radio Shack and Sparkfun.com. When the button gets pushed, the circuitry switches the air valve on so the door will open. After a few seconds, the valve switches back off and the door closes.(Credit:uiproductions, via Instructables)<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Voice and text messaging provider Bubble Motion today announced it has been awarded a patent for its work creating a mobile messaging system known as a4AVoice SMS.a4The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company said the patent will now allow users to click, record and send voice-recorded messages to on or several recipients, all without placing an actual call.The company said that like standard text messaging, voice SMS would have the added benefits of adding emotion, nuance, and inflection that are often missing from simple texts.The application of the patent could have implications for some of Silicon Valleya4a4s marquee-name companies and impending deals.Apple has acquired voice-based search company Siri in April of 2010, and others like Yahoo and Google have poured money into voice-enabled search options. The patent could also have a direct impact on companies that focus solely on voice-based SMS like Vlingo and Kirusa.The fight over who will bring an easy, one-touch way to communicate via voice-recorded messages as simply as sending a text has been heated, as companies around the world have raced to be the first to patent their own in-house technology.&amp;''This patent not only protects our intellectual property on a global level, but also demonstrates a long standing pattern of company innovation that has put us in the leadership position in the mobile messaging space globally,&amp;'' Bubble Motion chief executive Tom Clayton, CEO of Bubble Motion, told VentureBeat.Bubble Motion also produces BubbleBlog, also known as Bubbly, which is a voice blogging phone service where people share voice updates with friends, family, fans and followers.
