SecureCRT on OS X enters alpha testing!

Looks like it is finally happening!

--------------------------------------------------
2. SecureCRT for OS X Enters Limited Alpha Release
--------------------------------------------------

Development of SecureCRT for OS X (Apple Mac) continues to
progress.  We have begun very limited alpha testing with a
small group of users.  If that testing goes well, the alpha
will be expanded to a wider group of users.  There will be
an announcement in the newsletter when the OS X version is
available for public beta testing, which will likely be later
this year.

If you would like to be notified when SecureCRT for OS X
is available for public beta testing, please e-mail
Maureen Jett at Maureen.Jett@vandyke.com.

Give up, fanboys, Flash isn’t going to happen

“Flash is just around the corner”, “Flash has to happen, sooner or later”, “iPhone OS 4 will have Flash”

I’m sorry, there will never be support for Flash as it currently exists. Allowing Flash would break Apple’s iron grip on iPhone/iPad/iPod applications. Anyone frustrated with the App Store could simply make a flash version of their application and bypass the whole approval process. Obviously, this couldn’t be done for 100% of the apps, but even 0.001% of the apps is more than Apple will ever allow.

And that is why Apple is never going to approve Flash for the iP(ad/od/hone) platform.
