The Hillside furniture range is inspired by contemporary architecture. In many ways today s architects are trying to go beyond the box, bringing in new angles and expressions of form. This is what we have aimed to do with our storage furniture system, Hillside.The storage units derive their distinctive design by combining different storage formats together in each unit. The resulting furniture is not only efficient in function, but has clear, sculptural qualities, as well.Hillside has a small amount of parts but is flexible to the point of allowing a myriad of regular or even surprising compositions. This makes Hillside easy to be tailored to your specific requirements.The series includes floor-standing units, as well as wall-mounted unit. (at From Europe)

It’s no big secret that the Internet service in hotels and restaurants sucks, if it exists in the first place. The Smart Travel Router from Satechi acts as a router, connecting to your ISP and creating your own wireless network. It can also be used as a repeater to amplify an existing Wi-Fi network, or connect to a wired source and broadcast a wireless network that your devices can pick up. It also has an AC power port and USB for charging your devices. (at The Gadget Flow)

Nest Project

We’ve all been there — stabbing violently with a broom stick at the annoying, chirping puck on our ceiling, trying to silence it — but a smoke alarm shouldn’t be a nuisance, it should passively keep you safe without worrying about it. The Nest Protect won’t drive you crazy, but it will still keep you safe. It features a glowing status ring (green means everything is okay, yellow gives you a warning about a potential problem, and red means there’s an emergency), real voice alerts, and an interactive sensor that responds to the wave of a hand, letting you dismiss alerts if you burn your dinner. Set them up throughout your house and instantly access the status of various rooms from your smartphone or tablet, or use them to automatically light your way at night with the pathlight feature. Best of all, it interacts with other Nest devices, keeping you safer without you thinking about it. (at Uncrate)

Mozilla takes on Flash

thumbnailIntroducing Shumway, Mozilla’s open source, JavaScript-based SWF renderer. That’s right: Mozilla is making good on its promise (or threat) to create a native Web technology that will do everything the Flash player does.

Mozilla intends to completely eradicate the need for any browser plugins and “advance the open web platform to securely process rich media formats” as they state in the blog post that introduced the Shumway project nearly a year ago. To that end, they’ve been focusing on the web’s most popular plugins, including the sticky, persistent (and CPU-hungry) Flash player.

Despite early hopes that HTML5 would gracefully and efficiently replace Flash for video handling and more, too many hurdles remain. Besides the tons of legacy Flash content — that won’t be going away anytime soon — HTML5 is a much more time-intensive medium for creators of advanced animations, and has yet to offer consistent experiences across browsers and platforms. Perhaps the biggest disappointment: even the cleanest HTML5 doesn’t deliver smooth, lag-free experiences that compare with a well-coded Flash presentation.

Shumway has been available as a browser extension for some time now, but significantly core code was also placed in the Firefox Nightly on October 2.

If you decide to check out the Shumway-loaded release of Nightly, be aware you’ll still need to fiddle with a few things to activate it: it’s not enabled by default. Check the ghacks.net post for the list of steps that will get it going.

So far, Shumway is too wobbly for prime time, with inconsistent performance, including some confusing behavior and some utter fails. Still, this is a virtually embryonic release, barely the faintest foreshadowing of an Alpha version… and Mozilla’s forward progress on the project can be best described as unrelenting.

It’s hard to predict if Shumway will succeed in finally killing the Flash player, but if Adobe had made this kind of progress developing an open source SWF interpreter five years ago the Flash platform would have experienced virtually no decline at all.

 

Would an open source Flash player alternative tempt you back to the SWF format? Is Flash better off forgotten? Let us know in the comments.
