- According to the latest press release from CodeWeavers, you can now run Flash MX on Linux. There have been Linux versions of the browser plugin and server software for quite some time, but the actual movie authoring studio has not been released for the free OS. Previously, you needed a bunch of WINE hacking to run Flash. Now, you just need CrossOver ($60) and Flash itself ($200), which is a step in the right direction. No Windows licence or partition necessary. |

- Mike Hostetler writes in with a link to a story about all the hidden costs of outsourcing (some of which aren't really so hidden). While I've been fairly vocal about not putting place reactionary protectionist policies, I've also said repeatedly that many companies engaged in offshoring are going to regret it. They're not thinking through the real problems they're facing and, instead, are just looking at the cost issue. It's yet another result of managers only looking at the cost side of the "cost-benefit" equation, and not realizing what they lose when they cut costs. Many times, companies decide to outsource because the processes they've set up at home are a mess, and they seem to think that offshoring it, and pushing the issue away from headquarters will magically solve the problem. |
