Mac: Adobe AIR

-




Adobe claims a staggering 100 million installations of its AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime). Having confidence in numbers, I installed the runtime environment that deploys widget-like applications on the desktop. I then added AOL’s Top100 Videos, DeskTube and Times Reader (depicted in the screencast) out of several client-applications placed on Adobe's AIR Marketplace.


The advantages are apparent. If you rather not consume resources by browsing the web, AIR simply provides a track that does the heavy-lifting of streaming content directly onto your desktop.


The disadvantages are not. To work with data efficiently, AIR is installed in your local file system providing access to user data stored in its servers, but not before you consent with Trust Certificates.


The convenience of runtime applications, particularly in low-bandwidth arrangements, trumps the risk of user data being compromised, besides, 100 million installs underscores Adobe’s brand premium.

Brief Afterword: Two Country classics seen on AOL above, are posted below for a clearer view. Hurt outlines the singer's thoughts towards the end of his life. It is a perfect score for a sequel to Walk The Line, whereas the universal Honky Tonk Badonkadonk could score any genre of slapstick, even if Adkins was not cast.

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar. It has done a lousy job of what it was supposed to do, as the Dollar has lost almost all its value. • The ESF was put in the hands of the head of the US Treasury and the US Treasurer has absolute power to do what he wants with the fund. • As a result, the ESF has acted as a giant slush fund that has funded the growth of the American Empire over the past century against the will of both Congress and many bankers in private industry. • The ESF effectively runs the US Federal Reserve and tells the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Fed) what to do. It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte

While it's safe to assume that Farhan and friends are not on Rihanna's Christmas card list, they are definitely on mine and I hope they progress the arrested narrative to its logical conclusion. All 11 parts are posted above without express permission.  Words - Tommy Peters The quote in the preamble is attributed to Dennis Prager and the comments appended below are re-posted from AboveTopSecret.com that hosted the documentary in 2010.
