    News - Adobe Flash 10.2 released

    Full hardware-accelerated video pipeline will mean lower CPU usage across the board.

    Re: News - Adobe Flash 10.2 released

    How utterly retarded was the development of flash such that it could be ported between x86 and ARM but not between x86 and x86-64 to a "production" quality?

    Still, I guess 64-bit processors have only been around for a couple of months...

    Maybe eventually I'll get flash 64-bit with video acceleration on Linux.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Thumbs up Re: News - Adobe Flash 10.2 released

    Whilst I'm typing this, Chrome has yet to be updated, meaning no automatic Flash update (Update server unavailable in About). Internet Explorer 8 and Steam (via this and Windows - Other Browsers in step 2) appear to be working very nicely.

    Currently steaming The Hunt For Gollum at 720p with the player locked in full screen. Unlike Windows Media Player 12, I can carry on using other applications and not have to worry about selecting the desktop as Microsoft, in all their wisdom, removed the lock window feature that Vista's WMP had. In IE, full screen will lock on the same display containing the browser, I'm assuming Chrome will do the same. Steam, however, is locked to the primary display - there's no way to change it as far as I know.

    Across the board, CPU usage is minimal and in no way interfering with any other tasks. The film had finished steaming so I thought I'd fire up Cataclysm. Only had time for a quick flight outside of Ironforge but even then, I didn't notice any stuttering in either video or game.

    Thumbs up from a 32bit browser, 64bit Windows user.

    I'll have to test it with Win 7 32bit on my netbook another time as I overwrote the OS when installing Ubuntu (Netbook Edition). Knew I should have dual booted
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    I'd be suprised if ten instances of WoW and Mega-Future-Tech-Def slowed down that rig mate! I'm going to test this on my girlfriends 5 year old dell and see if this update makes a difference - Flash has always been the knee-bringer to the old bat (computer, not girlfriend). Will let you know.

    And stupid Adobe moved clip caching from /tmp into memory.
