| 03-23-10 / 09:06 PM : Opera Mini for iPhone (cjed) |
| Opera Mini for iPhone has been submitted to Apple. It isn't a real browser, in fact it acts as a terminal, the rendering is computed on remote servers. Zoom isn't implemented yet (the image will have to be computed at another scale), and what about javascript support ? |

| Microsoft presented a test version of IE 9, that brings support for some HTML5 technologies, provides hardware accelerating (through Direct2D) for SVG and HTML5 video element, and manages javascript code on an additional core. Then another news that won't help Flash. |

| 03-13-10 / 09:13 PM : CP2JavaWS 1.0.1 : supports Cappuccino 0.8 (cjed) |
| A new release (1.0.1) of CP2JavaWS is available. It adds support for Cappuccino 0.8 (won't work with previous versions - use CP2JavaWS 1.0 for these). Note : when creating a tableView manually, and setting CP2JavaWSTableViewDelegate as the delegate, we now have to define the sortDescriptor on each column, for example : [column setSortDescriptorPrototype:[[CPSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:[column identifier] ascending:true]];This is done automatically when using Direct2CP mode (see CP2JavaWSMasterDetailView).

| 03-10-10 / 12:20 AM : Valve coming on Mac (cjed) |
| Expected since the cancellation of Half Life 1 port on mac), Valve annonced that it will deliver its Steam game/purchase platform on mac (will use WebKit), as well as its Source 3D engine. Then games using it will run natively on MacOSX, and performances are stated as on par with those on Windows. Among planned games for mac are Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, Portal, Half-Life 2, Portal 2 (will be released on mac and PC at the same time). Moreover we will be able to play/continue on mac and PC, by purchasing a single version for both platforms. We also learn that Valve worked with Apple (and GPU providers) to ensure optimal performances on mac, and reported hints to Apple for its OpenGL implementation to benefit from Open GL 3.x enhancements (that should be included in MacOSX 10.6.3). |

| 03-09-10 / 11:43 PM : iPhone SDK 3.2 beta 4 for iPad dev (cjed) |
| Apple released a fourth beta of iPhone SDK 3.2 to iPhone Developer Program's members. It allows to develop/test (through the emulator) applications targeted to iPad. This version requires Mac OS X 10.6.2, and then an Intel mac. Apple also states that the previous 3.1.3 SDK requires an Intel mac (and Mac OS X 10.5.7). The emulator (Aspen) may therefore not work anymore on PowerPC (previously we just had to edit the .dist file to allow installation on unsupported macs). |

| 03-08-10 / 06:19 PM : Mac Developer Program : now 99 dollars per year (cjed) |
| While Apple stock quote reached a new record (219$), and that the AppStore converted thousands of developers to Cocoa (150 000 applications available, a success that competitors won't likely be able to achieve), Apple dropped the subscription cost of Mac Developer Program to 99$ per year (that is the same pricing as with iPhone Developer Program), in order to promote mac (OSX desktop) development. Previously, Apple Developer Connection's licences ranged from 499$ to 3499$ per year. The new licence removes the discount on hardware purchases, however it still provides access to software beta versions (including MacOSX) and WWDC videos. |
