Google Rolls Flash into Chrome

Upcoming versions of Chrome will come with Adobe Flash built right in, as Google attempts to solve the plug-in problem.

While Steve Jobs’ disdain for Adobe Flash led him to bar it completely from the iPad in a highly controversial move, Google has been lining up a marriage between Adobe’s bad boy and its daughter Chrome. On Tuesday, the company announced the two would unite in digital matrimony with a new version of Google Chrome that features Flash built right in.
Rather than installing Chrome, downloading the latest Flash plug-in, and updating it regularly, users will be able to install upcoming versions of Chrome and forget about the rest. The all-in-one download will always carry the latest version of Flash, and Chrome will automatically update it as Adobe trickles out new releases.
Google also plans to directly address Jobs’ criticisms of Flash – and other plug-ins – by working with Adobe and rival Mozilla to improve the existing browser plug-in API.
“Improving the traditional browser plug-in model will make it possible for plug-ins to be just as fast, stable, and secure as the browser’s HTML and JavaScript engines,” engineer Linus Upson posted on Google’s Chromium blog. “Over time this will enable HTML, Flash, and other plug-ins to be used together more seamlessly in rendering and scripting.”
Google offers the first version of Chrome with Flash through its developer channel, but it remains an experimental release with known issues.

Cell Phone Buying Guide 2010

I outline some of the most important factors to look into when purchasing a new cell phone. When your old cell phone squeaks like a rusty door hinge, has more lint under the screen than your jean pockets, and lasts half an afternoon with a full charge, it’s time for a new one. But with most cell phone contracts lasting two years, a new phone shouldn’t be the type of purchase you make lightly. Check out our quick and dirty guide to your next phone purchase to make sure you cover all the bases on your shopping trip. Choosing a carrier Because most U.S. cell phone carriers heavily subsidize phone purchases in exchange for two-year contracts, and lock the phones to their networks, your choice of cell carrier will have more impact on which type of phone you end up with than any other factor.
