SEEKING WORK - Montreal/Remote

Freelance iOS developer. Generalist programmer with 8+ years of professional experience.

I am driven by the final product first and foremost. I have a strong technical background but I believe technology should be seen as a tool before all. Getting things done in a balanced and pragmatical way is my priority. I have strong interest in UX design and project management as well.

Passionate. Quick learner. Great communication. Used to remote work. You're more than welcome to inquire.

There is nothing ironic about it. His whole point is that sharing should be something the user chooses to opt-in, which is the case with that "share on" bar.

For reference, Mike Chambers is the principal product manager for the Adobe Flash platform. You can read this as Adobe's officialish reaction on this whole debate.

I want the same with chess. Please.

It's a funny situation, in the sense that Microsoft did exactly the same thing on the ECMAScript 4 standard on which Actionscript 3 is based and managed instead to stall the evolution of the ES standard...

The best compromise would be to trust a given application after its first (or first few) review(s) and allow its developer to update it without going through the review process afterward. This would keep the gate for spammy applications and establish a relation of trust between the devs and Apple.

Of course, this is unlikely to happen as Apple is using the review process to make sure the apps are not calling private APIs or violating whatever rules Apple decides to apply. But giving up this last layer of "security" for Apple to allow for better developer AND user experience would be the best move Apple could do to improve the whole App Store frustations from developers.

Haven't been able to make it work in Chromium either (launching it in webgl/no sandbox mode).

Has anybody sucessfully ran the demos?

For your information, Grant Skinner has been one of the most well known Flash developer and entrepreneur for the last decade. This post brings a very interesting and down to earth perspective on the current Flash debate.
