Adobe Air: use your online apps offline

March 5, 2008 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment 

Adobe has launched software designed to make it easier for computer users to use online applications offline. Adobe Air allows developers to build tools that still have some functionality even when a computer is no longer connected to the net. A free download will allow users of Macs, PCs and, later this year, Linux machines to run any Air applications. The first programs that use the technology, developed by web sites such as eBay, have already been released. “Air is going to allow applications that run on the web today – that run in the browser – to be brought down to the desktop,” Andrew Shorten, platform evangelist at Adobe told BBC News. “It’s about taking existing web applications and adding extra functionality whether you want to work offline or whether you want to access data on your disk.”

Mr Shorten said that the technology is not about replacing the web browser. “It’s about delivering the best experience depending on where you are and what you need to get from the application, ” he said. “If I’m on the road with my laptop maybe I want to use the desktop version of my application. If I pop into an internet cafe I can still access it through the browser.” The software is part of a growing number of technologies that aim to make the transition between the on and offline worlds seamless. In 2006, Microsoft unveiled its Silverlight technology. And last year Google launched Gears. The tool does not allow the creation of new content but does allow web applications to be used offline.

Harry Potter in Sinhala???

October 15, 2007 · Filed Under Harry Potter, Sinhalese, Sri Lanka, Tamil · 4 Comments 
The Czech edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: literally Harry Potter and the Prince of Dual BloodImage via Wikipedia

Today I was reading Wikipedia and I found that they have mentioned that translation of Harry Potter into Sinhalese is unofficial, but I found that book was available to buy over sarasavi.com.

I’m just curious to know whether anyone know about this book(ISBN 9555732866). Also some trivia says Tamil translations are expected to hit the market around 15 January 2008.

There is no doubt; it’ll bring pleasure and happiness to our local children, if we can get these books in Tamil and Sinhalese. One of the reasons I learned or in other words improved my English is by reading Rowling’s work.

Even if there are some companies to translate this book, they have to have many problems, specially the black market problem. Nobody seems to care about intellectual property in Sri Lanka. Hope soon we can get these books in our languages. :roll:
