Today's Story Highlights

Adobe's Edge Lets Devs Wedge a Foot in HTML5 Door
Adobe on Monday announced the first public preview release of its Edge
HTML 5 Web motion and interaction design tool. This lets Web designers
add animation to websites using standards such as HTML, JavaScript and
CSS in much the same way they do with Flash Professional, Adobe said.
It's adopting an open development methodology for Edge because of rapid
changes around HTML 5.

Motorola Photon: Many Glowing Reviews, a Few Dark Glares
Motorola's latest high-end Android smartphone, the Photon, has hit the
shelves at Sprint stores for $200 and a two-year contract. Online
customers had a head start -- the Photon was available at Sprint's
website days ahead of its brick-and-mortar arrival. The Photon runs on
Android 2.3 -- Gingerbread -- and works on both 3G and 4G networks.

Dilbert Gets Windows Phone 7, the US Gets the Three Stooges
The two things I found particularly interesting last week were the
continued focus on the U.S. government's inability to live within its
means and Scott Adams, the father of Dilbert, accepting the Windows
Phone 7 challenge. The first continues to piss me off because both sides
seem to be unable to grasp the need to actually live within a budget,
and the second provides a much-needed chuckle.

Mozilla's Boot 2 Gecko: Who Wants Another Web-Based OS?
Well it's been another scorching week here in the Linux blogosphere,
where all the vegetation has been baked to oblivion and all the tempers
are running hot. There's nary a drop of water to be found around here
anymore -- all the wildlife have packed up and set off in search of more
hospitable ground -- but at least there's still the Punchy Penguin
blogobar, where the shades remain drawn and the air conditioning stays
on High.

HowStuffWorks: A Wild and Wonderful Cornucopia of Explanations
There is a HowStuffWorks app for iPhone, but I went for the iPad version
-- bigger, better, easier to navigate and consume, especially when I
want to kick back and learn about how things work. I was expecting a
nitty-gritty experience of things like how combustion engines work, or
how a potato-launching spud gun manages to blast a tuber 100 yards.
Well, I got what I was expecting, but so much more.
