V2 Technology Innovates Flash Video Conference

This blog is originally from http://www.swfkits.com/swf-converter-blog/v2-technology-innovates-flash-video-conference/

What is Flash Video Conference?

Speaking of flash video conference, many people will have confused question: to have such a conference really does not need any plug-in installation? V2 Technology, a leading force in Greater China in terms of network video-conferencing technologies and multi-media communications domain, gives us a very definite answer.

V2 Technology CEO Mr. Ye said: "Flash video conference can be as easy as visiting some video websites like YouTube and youku, all you have to do is to open these websites, search and browse what you want to see. As long as you can use computer and the computer is connected to Internet, you can use flash video conference, completely without technical and operation difficulties."

Technology Innovation Pushes Flash Video Conference a Big Step Forward.

CEO Mr. Ye said that in early 2004 they have found this new technology. However, it was just started at that time abroad, so how to discard the dross and select the essence has became V2's focus in recent years.

The difference between western and eastern users is the former care more about the functions while the latter care more about the effects. In the past ten years, many video-conferencing system manufacturers were competing the best technology to the highest quality, however, they didn't know it can limit the products in an opposite way. For example, there is a huge difference between the flash video conferences for executive managers who will be assisted by the technical personnel and the common enterprise staff who have to do the video conference plug-in installation and debugging by themselves. Maybe it will take 30 minutes to prepare for a just 30 minutes meeting. A lot of time is wasted and such technical difficulties hinder the popularity of flash video conference.

How to make flash video conference as simple as MSN or QQ, and at the same time, economic, easy-to-use and stable? Mr. Ye mentioned two patents of V2: flash technology, cloud computing and SaaS. Undoubtedly, these technologies are the hottest right now and with them, the video conference can be started in 5 seconds and with total support to high-definition and large volume of video conference; seamless docking with many other software; expansion and upgrade without the client personally operation; with data security and encryption technology, and the most important one, no any plug-in needed. Mr. Ye said that this kind of simplicity brought by V2 video-conferencing technology is a milestone in this industry.

Flash Video Conference: Easy to Imitate but Difficult to Overcome.

Speaking of other newly-released products from different manufacturers in 2009, Mr. Ye is very confident because since the first day V2 has dedicated a lot of development and testing force, more than 100 people's research team will achieve every function and every effect. Such focused research strength and technology can never be that easy to overcome.

Indeed, from the SARS in 2003, to the 2008 Olympic Games, Sichuan earthquake, we can see and experience the power of V2 flash video conference. Many large-scale enterprises, such as Wal-Mart, Bank of China, the National Postal Bureau, Lenovo, Guangzhou Honda, Coca Cola, Pepsi, TCL, DHL, China Telecom and so on have applied and all leave very good comments.

More Wonderful Experience of Flash Video Conference with 3G Technology.

Partner with Huawei in 3G domain, they have developed many excellent projects together so far. "V2 doesn't aim to earn money, V2 is to guide the industry, guide the customers, lead the industry to positive development, let more customers know the exist of such advanced video conference technologies, let 99% of the small and medium-sized China enterprises use flash video conference with affordable price." said Mr. Ye when talking about V2 flash video technology.

Most important, the application of V2 flash video technology means video conference gradually escaping from the complex meeting security and slightly higher demand of local configuration, begining to bring more exciting experience for common enterprise users. With brilliant and higher-quality application, high market share and V2's successful operation model support, flash video conference's prospect is definitely immeasurable.

oPhone is the first China Mobile customized TD-SCDMA phone based on OMS(Open Mobile System) operating system.

OMS is the system platform developed by the No.1 mobile carrier China Mobile. It's based on Google Android and a lot of mobile applications were added to make it powerful. China Mobile once was trying hard to bring Apple iPhone to China, very exciting news for Apple fans here in China but unfortunately this plan was aborted. After the failure of this international connection of two mobile giants, China Mobile has transferred its attention to develop its own operating system, which is OMS.

Lenovo, one of the leading mobile technology products manufacturers and one of loyal business partners of China Mobile, officially announces the release of oPhone in the late September, 2009. This phone is unanimously believed to represent the prioritizing TD Terminal of China Mobile.

ChenWenHui, vice President of Lenovo mobile, said: "Lenovo O1 phone is the result of years accumulation of smart products development and TD research, and it's also a key step to bring Lenovo to a new 3G era and a rich and colorful mobile interconnection era as well."

Microsoft Silverlight Aims to Compete with Adobe Flash

This blog is originally from http://www.swfkits.com/swf-converter-blog/microsoft-silverlight-aims-to-compete-with-adobe-flash/

Technologically, Microsoft Silverlight is almost on the same level with Adobe Flash, but speaking market, Microsoft Silverlight is still crawling and has a long way to go.

In the past two years, Microsoft has dedicated too much technical resources to enhance Silverlight's performance. Now, Microsoft Silverlight can compete with Adobe Flash technologically, but still has to speed its pace to follow Adobe Flash when talking about market.

It's true Microsoft Silverlight already has some big customers like football league, but the giant video websites like Youtube and Hulu are still using Adobe Flash. The worse, some customers, British Television ITV, for example, even abandoned Microsoft Silverlight recently and then turn to Adobe Flash immediately. The worst, even Microsoft's own network assets such as MSN and Bing seldom use Silverlight or use it conservatively. However, this situation is changing.

Early this week, Microsoft proposed Silverlight will be used in the latest vision search function of Bing, to present searching results in a very unique visual way. The source also said later this year, MSN is expected to be redesigned using maximum Silerlight technology.

According to estimation, Adobe Flash is installed in 90% of Internet PCs, while Microsoft Silverlight only counts 1/3. For Microsoft, the existence of Adobe is just like the existence of Microsoft for other operating system companies and office software companies. Silverlight is not only in relation with how to deliver online videos in PCs but also in relation with the future network planning of Microsoft Office software, etc. What for sure is the web designers need better software to make their interfaces rich and pretty, no matter that is Microsoft Silverlight or Adobe Flash.

Both Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight are required to be installed before watching videos online. And the current situation is most video websites use Adobe Flash due to its popularity and accordingly, most users choose Adobe Flash. This cause-and-effect relation is the key for Microsoft to increase the share of Silverlight.

Adrian Ludwig, the Group Manager of Adobe Flash said: "A few years ago, Adobe was very very nervous when gigantic Microsoft entering this field with Silverlight."

But recently, Adobe Flash has relaxed vigilance by saying : "I begin to doubt whether Microsoft Silverlight will be as popular as Adobe Flash and whether it will satisfy the demand of the market as Adobe Flash does."

Executives of Microsoft immediately respond: "The Silverlight customers are rising, especially after the release of the 3rd version. This version supports auto-negotiable adjust the video resolution and uninterrupted video playback according to network status."

Obama Heckled by Joe Wilson During Joint Session Health Care Speech

This blog is originally from http://www.swfkits.com/swf-converter-blog/obama-heckled-by-joe-wilson-during-joint-session-health-care-speech/

And special thanks to this website for some information excerpted here.

The nastiness of Sept hot weather reaches the Capitol as President Barack Obama spoke about his health care plan. South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "You lie!" after Obama talked about illegal immigrants.

The context is this: after Obama said "There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms -- the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. ", an audience suddenly shouted "You lie!".

That guy is Obama heckler-Joe Wilson, a member of the Columbia World Affairs Council, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Sinclair Lodge 154, Jamil Temple, Woodmen of the World, Sons of Confederate Veterans(SCV),……

This is an organization that, as the SPLC(Southern Poverty Law Center) has detailed assiduously, has been taken over in the past decade by radical neo-Confederates who favor secession and defend slavery as a benign institution. Leading the takeover is a radical racist named Kirk Lyons, who's been an important legal figure on the far right for some years.

In more recent years, the takeover has led to an outright internal civil war, and this rift has led to Lyons himself coming under harsh attack from his own right flank. The SCV is a serious mess.

Now, add this to the fact that Joe Wilson, as a state legislator, was one of only seven Republicans to go against their own party and vote to keep the Dixie Rebel flag flying over the South Carolina capitol.

A clearer picture of why this congressman might so virulently breach protocol and loudly interrupt an African-American president's speech to Congress by calling him a liar does start to emerge, doesn't it?

Gmail Down “4U”

This blog is originally from http://www.swfkits.com/swf-converter-blog/gmail-down-%e2%80%9c4u%e2%80%9d/

Gmail, one of the prides of giant Google company, went down Tuesday for about an hour and half on Sep, 01st, from 13:00 to 14:25, pacific time.

This is the second outage Gmail has suffered so far. The previous wide and long outage was on May, 14th this year.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but did acknowledge and apologize for the outage on its Gmail blog.

I'm not depressed because I don't use Gmail too much, instead, I'm very thankful that this issue inspires me to realize how people depend on social medias nowadays.

People get used to twitter their every movement to let others know what you are doing, even if you can only type 140 characters. What if no Twitter?

People get used to call and text each other every day, even if there is nothing serious to tell. What if no mobile phones?

People get used to send messages by MSN or emails, even if your colleagues are just sitting beside you. What if no messengers and emails?

People get used to arm themselves with endless electronics, hide themselves behind computer screens, indulge themselves in bantch of illusory programs……what if the technosphere bubble bursts someday?

Gmail down "4U", thank you, finally we have some time to breathe fresh air, enjoy a cup of coffee, communicate with people face to face, hear the sound of a human voice, go out for a walk and the most important, to know who we really are!

Seize the time because Gmail won't always down for you!
