Santiago Etchebehere
I’m 27, from Argentina, I’ve studied at the Engineering College of “Universidad de Buenos Aires” (Argentina) where I’ve also been a teacher istant, I’m currently working on my grade thesis (Testing Automation based on Open Source Tools) to get my degree as IT Engineer. I really enjoy my life at home, hanging out with my friends, and I like learning languages and different cultures, which is not difficult in a city like Buenos Aires, where I live. I’ve worked for different software development companies in Buenos Aires, as a software engineer, developing with a variety of languages and tools (mostly Java and C++). Currently, I’m working for Globant (www.globant.com), an Argentinian software company since Jan 2006, and providing services to Google since Aug 2006 in the CRM QA project where I’ve worked with the team (Googlers and Globant employees) to create an automation framework based on Selenium and other tools for testing web applications. The framework grew and it’s now being used by some other projects at Google too.

An Adobe official has confirmed that Adobe is working on Flash technology for the iPhone, and that the player will be available in a very short time if Apple gives it the OK, according to a report by iPhone Atlas. Adobe already has Flash running on an iPhone emulator.
Andy interviewed Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch about the evolution of Flash at the MIT Technology Review EmTech08 conference last week.
Flash is the most broadly deployed technology on the web today and the Flash Player is responsible for drastically improving the online video viewing experience, according to Lynch. Flash would improve the viewing of web video and rich media pages on the iPhone, so we hope Apple says yes to the technology sooner rather than later.
Adobe will continue working on online video innovations, like text search within video, indexing video with search engines at different time points, and interactivity, Lynch says.
This is the second of our interview with Lynch. Last week we posted an interview about Adobe and mobile devices. He does not address Flash and iPhone in this interview.

The best phone for business. Ever.
What makes iPhone a great business phone? Simple. The same features that make it a revolutionary mobile device. With iPhone 2.0 software, iPhone does even more for your enterprise. It supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, delivering push email, calendar, and contacts. And it gives mobile users secure access to corporate resources with Cisco IPSec VPN and wireless network services with WPA2 Enterprise and 802.1X authentication.
Best email on a mobile device.
Email on iPhone offers a viewing experience unlike any other mobile device. Its rich HTML format means email looks and acts like email on your computer. With support for Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, and now iWork, attachments can be viewed exactly as they were designed to. Users can even zoom in on important information with the tap of a finger. And now that iPhone has built-in support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, users get all the benefits of push email.
Up-to-the-minute calendar.
With its Multi-Touch interface, no other mobile calendar application is as intuitive or simple to use. Tap to accept or decline a meeting invitation. Tap again to see who’s attending, check scheduling conflicts, review the agenda, or add alerts. Colour coding makes calendar entries easy to organize and view at a glance. And push calendar and integrated support for time zones means users can stay up to date no matter where their business takes them.
More powerful contacts.
Finding contacts on iPhone is as simple as scrolling through your contact list or using the search feature. Add or change a contact and it updates everywhere automatically. But what really makes Contacts ideal for business is its seamless integration with features such as Maps, Safari, and SMS. Find customer offices using Maps with GPS. Get directions and call directly from map listings to confirm. Add vCards received via email. Look up contacts faster with search support for companywide Global Address Lists (GAL). And with push contacts on iPhone, contact lists are always up to date.
Desktop-class web browsing.iPhone uses Safari — the most advanced browser on a mobile device — and displays the web the way it was designed to be seen. With support for web standards, SSL, and Cisco IPSec VPN, iPhone delivers secure access to corporate intranets so users can access their company’s resources wherever they are. Web Clips give quick, one-tap access from the Home screen to important websites and web applications. And the fastest available connection to the web is always ensured, whether it’s EDGE, 3G, or Wi-Fi.
Enterprise applications.With support for custom-designed enterprise applications, iPhone becomes a must-have mobile device for businesses. Using the iPhone SDK, an enterprise can easily create applications customized to its business needs and even take advantage of key iPhone technologies such as Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, fast wireless connectivity, and GPS. To deploy their in-house applications, companies can securely sync the applications via iTunes to authorized iPhones. Once installed, enterprise applications live side by side with all the other applications that come with every iPhone.
Smarter phone features.iPhone is a revolutionary phone that also helps manage daily work calls. Visual Voicemail allows users to prioritize which messages to listen to first and fast-track through a message to get to key information. Swapping and merging calls and even initiating conference calls is easy. To add an attendee, just tap a name from a contact list or company GAL.
More for business.
iPhone has even more great features for business users. Find a customer’s address and get directions with GPS-powered Maps. Send SMS messages to multiple recipients. Get a one-tap weather report before your next business trip. Check stocks at a glance. Write notes to save or email. Even perform complex calculations with the built-in scientific calculator.

Finding Apple Macintosh OSX webcams that just work without additional drivers can be frustrating. I introduce a few low-end UVC compliant USB 2.0 web cameras that I know to be plug and play iSight compatible with Mac OSX Tiger 10.4 and Leopard 10.5 in this episode. OS X’s native support for UVC cams isn’t unique – Windows Vista and many Linux distro’s make UVC compliant cams the smart buy now and for the future.
Unfortunately, the Kanamax cheapo UVC cam is just that – an unreliable, cheap piece of junk that works well — until you wiggle it’s wire and the video cuts out… Or worse, the webcam has a built-in microphone that never did work – at all.

‘Ya Get What Ya Pay For” In this episode, another cheap webcam from overseas. Works ok on OSX 10.4 at slow USB 1.1 speeds, doesn’t show an image at all on my MacBook running OS X 10.5.3 and useless for iChat AV or PhotoBooth.
Thought it might be a conflict with my built-in iSight – but other driverless UVC USB 2.0 webcameras work fine. Perhaps there’s something new about 10.5 Leopard or iChatAV doesn’t want to recognize slower USB 1.1 cameras? Yes I tried macam, yes I tried ecamm’s iChatUSB, other video apps to no avail.
I’ll do a bit more trial and error testing, but the lesson from this is cheap crappy web cams may be easy on the wallet, but you PAY for it with frustration and wasting an hour or two of your life like I did.
