It’s quite an impressive demonstration which Adobe is using to directly prove that Steve Jobs and Apple wrong. Judging by the video, they might have successfully done that. One thing to note however is that the phone used by Adobe in this demo has performance capabilities much better than regular mobiles, so it would be somewhat unfair to compare it with the phones most of us carry today.

But it does beg a question on what should change: The mobile device or the web? Should device makers, including Apple, make higher performing devices to accommodate Flash or should the web completely move away from technologies such as Flash so that mobile users also get the full experience? One thing is certain, the mobile “web-war” is certainly far from over.

It’s amazing that it has taken about 63 years for the design of the UK electric plug to be so radically improved but that is just what a student of the Royal College of Arts has done. Min-Kyu Choi showcased his design at the college’s graduate show and seems to have been a deserved “show-stopper”. The main attraction to this design I believe is how it manages to compress the plug into a very sleek and compact component without losing any functionality. When folded, the plug measures as just 10mm in width. To unfold it, the two live pins swivel 90 degrees, and the plastic surround folds back around the pins so the face of the plug looks the same as a standard UK plug. Perhaps even more brilliant is Choi’s expansion of the idea into another pleasant looking and very practically multi-plug adaptor. More pictures follow.
