Noob Flash

Adobe has released a new build of the Flash Player 9 Update for the Solaris platform. It fixes some bugs and adds support for Solaris on the x86 and Sparc CPU architecture. The update is supported by Solaris 10, Firefox 2.0, and Mozilla 1.7.

There is no official support for specific camera or sound drivers on the Solaris platform and this update does not include full-screen and windowless mode support.

Today I am proud to announce that Noob Flash will be moving to a new hosting provider within the next 7-14 days. Currently we are using GoDaddy.com. While we have had no problems with GoDaddy, we have looked into other hosting providers and found that 1&1 has much better packages and services for the price than GoDaddy.

One of the best features of 1&1 is the 3 FREE domains you get with the $9.99/mo hosting account. If you want to buy more than 3 domains, it’s only 5.99 a year per domain! That is $3 a domain cheaper than GoDaddy! Plus, with GoDaddy you have to purchase one hosting account per domain you wanted to host. With 1&1, you can host many domains on one hosting account. So for $9.99/mo, you could host 20 domains. That’s a savings of over $100 compared to GoDaddy!

Another thing that is great about 1&1 is the massive amount of free services they offer. For $9.99/mo 1&1 offers:

Free private registration
3 Free domain names
200 subdomains
100 external domain hosting
250GB of Web Space
2,500GB of Monthly Bandwidth

For those of you interested in more information about the upcoming Adobe CS3 release, check out the nice CS3 walk through on Adobe’s website.

“Google has plans to create the world’s largest and best online mapping system and is asking all of us for our help. This project will let users search through millions of carefully prepared photo and video data of local areas supplied by others. All of the data will be electronically mapped and tied to the specific location that they represent. The hope is that this will lead to a virtual world in great detail.

Google is planning to release all of the tools necessary for easy participation by the people that want to share what they know about their local areas and favorite places by creating custom maps to collaborate the information. This new idea will allow everyone to become involved in creating the most detailed data bank of local knowledge accessible anywhere on the internet.

Google will release this service next month and users will can begin adding details immediately after release. Check back with Noob Flash for more information about this Google service when there is more to share.”
