Erick Schonfeld, for AOL/TechCrunch:

I spoke with some folks from Mozilla yesterday about this topic. Eventually, Firefox mobile will support Flash, but it is just not there yet in terms of responsiveness.

Soon though!

Jim Dalrymple on Google’s refusal to release the source code to Honeycomb:

Can you imagine if it were Apple delaying a software release. What would the press say if Apple admitted it took shortcuts with its OS to keep up with Google and now they couldn?t release it? The press would have a field day with that story.

Total shitstorm.

Regarding Stanley Kubrick’s unmade The Aryan Papers:

Frederic Raphael, who co-authored the screenplay for ?Eyes Wide Shut,? recalls Kubrick questioning whether a film could truly represent the Holocaust in its entirety. After Raphael mentioned ?Schindler?s List,? Kubrick replied: ?Think that?s about the Holocaust? That was about success, wasn?t it? The Holocaust is about six million people who get killed. `Schindler?s List? is about 600 who don?t. Anything else??

Mobile Web Sites Arent in Opposition to Native
Apps

Josh Clark:

But let’s not shoot ourselves in the foot by getting tangled up in this “web vs native” thing. Our future is going to be one of many, many thin clients talking to smart web services. Some of those clients will be accessed via HTML, others via native code.
