Notes

Yesterday, Adobe announced major job cuts and a company restructuring, and indicated that their focus on Flash may not be what it used to be, by cutting off Flash development on Android and the Playbook. Meanwhile last week, Microsoft was reluctantly admitting that Silverlight isn't a big part of their future either. The message is clear, and even if it means some relearning for long time web designers, it's time to switch to HTML5 if you haven't already.

That’s still unconfirmed by Microsoft, but ZDNet’s Mary-Jo Foley is reporting that she’s heard from several sources who say that Silverlight 5 will be the last version of the rich media platform, and that it’s not clear how long it will be supported after it’s released later this month. What’s more, another source tells Foley that the final version of Silverlight 5 itself might only work with Internet Explorer on Windows, as opposed to earlier versions that have also supported Chrome and Safari on both OS X and Windows. As ZDNet notes, however, the end of Silverlight wouldn’t necessarily mean an end to all of the work Microsoft has done on Silverlight -- we’ve already heard about a Silverlight-like app framework that’s coming in a future Xbox update, and many of the same principles can also be found in the Metro-style apps for Windows 8.", "image": "https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/3QP.K.LLtsILhkcnOjWqIA--~B/aD0yNDU7dz0yMjA7YXBwaWQ9eXRhY2h5b24-/https://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/04/silverlight-logosm.jpg", "logo": "https://s.yimg.com/kw/assets/favicon-160x160.png", "publisher": "Engadget", "title": "Talk mounts that version 5 could be Silverlight’s last, might only work with Internet Explorer", "url": "https://www.engadget.com/2011-11-09-talk-mounts-that-version-5-could-be-silverlights-last-might-on.html", "feed": "http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml", "lang": "en", "failed": true, "failedAt": 1728195049849, "failedError": "TimeoutError: Promise timed out after 10000 milliseconds", "expires": 1728365013897, "status": 200, "bodyLength": 228752, "duration": 5275 }

"Sigh. I used to have the strength to argue against such foolishness. Nowadays I’m reduced to nothing more than Grey’s-Anatomy-esque catchphrases."
