Scrollrect vs. Mask: Smooth movement
There are two basic ways of panning a view in Flash. One is to move the display object (and use a mask if necessary). The other is to use scrollrect.

When moving at very slow speeds, the effect is noticeable. In this example y...

[SNB] Scot's Newletter - Windows 7 and More

---------------------------
Scot's Newsletter Blog
---------------------------

http://blog.scotsnewsletter.com/

Operating Systems. Broadband. Issues. Reviews. Info You Can Use.

January 2009 - Vol. 9, Issue No. 99

By Scot Finnie

In This Issue
--------------------

1. Long Time No See
2. Newsletter Exclusive: MediaLayer Hosting
3. Windows 7 Beta 1: I'm Not Impressed
4. Early Reactions to Windows 7 (Alpha)
5. Significantly Updated: The A-List of Mac Software
6. The 2010 Honda Insight and Toyota Prius
7. One Year Later: iPhone Not So Amazing

For subscription management, contact info, links, and other resources, please see the end of the newsletter.

1. Long Time No See
------------------------------------------------------

The last time I mailed the newsletter was July of last year. Six months is a long time. As you know, it's been a wild and not very happy six months. Prior to the economic downturn, my work as editor in chief of Computerworld was already as flat-out busy as I could imagine.

Every media company has been touched -- and touched hard -- by the rise of the Internet as a publishing medium. Computer-related publications were among the first to feel this transformation, since our readers are all by definition computer ready. It gave us a bit of a running start. Last year was also the year when Internet publishing was no longer just interesting, it became a key source of revenue. In 2009, any publishing company that hasn't jumped with both feet into the Internet is in danger of being left behind. It's not the readers, it's the advertisers who are leading the way.

So while I was very busy the first six months of last year, Computerworld editorial team was ahead of the game, and doing well. We winning awards for editorial quality and hitting major milestones. But the rapid economic downturn was like a right cross that caught many businesses, across all industries, off guard. So like virtually everyone else in business these days, I'm even more busy.

Does this rate as an excuse, or what?

It's also taken me all this time to write enough stuff of note to be worthy of gracing your inbox. I have received several messages from people urging me to send newsletters more frequently -- even if I haven't written much. But I'm not sure those good people represent the majority. Anyway, I think I now have some stories for you to read, so I'll get to 'em.

2. Newsletter Exclusive: MediaLayer Hosting
------------------------------------------------------

In the last newsletter, I promised that I would write more about the security scare I had early last year on the Scot's Newsletter website, some of my security takeaways, and also let you know about my new webhost. I haven't written about any of that on the blog, or anywhere else for that matter. I'm still hoping for the time to do that. It would be a lot of work.

But the one thing I can tell you right away is that I remain very pleased and completely satisfied by my attentive and communicative webhost: MediaLayer Hosting.

http://www.medialayer.net/

The company offers several security features that most other shared webhosts don't provide. Plus their service is impeccable. I can't recommend them highly enough.

MediaLayer doesn't offer $5.95 webhosting. My package is $40 a month. But they do offer a $9.95 package. The main difference among their various packages is the monthly data transfer limit. If you don't use more than 10GB a month, then the $9.95 package gets you everything you'd get in a more expensive package. MediaLayer is also happy to customize a plan to your needs.

Shared Webhosting Plans:
http://www.medialayer.net/hosting/application-hosting.html

MediaLayer excels at serving the needs of customers who are using PHP and MySQL-based server applications, such as blogs and forums. Site performance is exceptionally fast and the servers are reliable.

MediaLayer is the best shared webhost I've ever done business with. I recommend the company unequivocally.

3. Windows 7 Beta 1: I'm Not Impressed
------------------------------------------------------

Last week I tested Windows 7 Beta 1 and came away from the experience disappointed that the first beta is slower than the alpha was. In this prerelease, you could definitely see Windows Vista in disguise. Remember you heard it here first, because most other reviewers say it's just peachy.

http://blog.scotsnewsletter.com/2009/01/18/windows-7-beta-1-im-not-impressed/

4. Early Reactions to Windows 7 (alpha)
------------------------------------------------------

Fast! That's what the late alpha release of Windows 7 seemed to me when I tested it last November. It also offers a minor but intriguing window-sizing and positioning tool that I could definitely get used to.

http://blog.scotsnewsletter.com/2008/11/17/early-reactions-to-windows-7/

5. Significantly Updated: The A-List of Mac Software
------------------------------------------------------

The list describes 31 Mac apps I recommend, eight I'm considering, and 26 that I've evaluated and rejected. I pretty much guarantee that new Mac users will find at least two or three programs they didn't know, and even experienced Mac users might learn something new, not to mention you'll surely disagree with something I've decided. ;-)

http://www.scotsnewsletter.com/best_of/mac_a-list.htm

6. The 2010 Honda Insight and Toyota Prius
------------------------------------------------------

Warning! Warning! Crazy Scot is writing about cars again. This story is a spec-based analysis of the latest generations of the most fuel efficient hybrids from two of the best hybrid auto manufacturers in the business: Toyota and Honda. There's one I like better than the other.

http://blog.scotsnewsletter.com/2009/01/24/2010-honda-insight-and-toyota-prius/

7. One Year Later: iPhone Not So Amazing
------------------------------------------------------

Guess what? Mr. Mac (yours truly) dumped his Apple iPhone and went back to a BlackBerry. Well, actually, I still have the iPhone, but I don't use it much. And the BlackBerry is a company mobile, but it's what I now use 24x7. Check out the story to find out why I shelved the iPhone, even though in many ways I love it.
