		<description><![CDATA[After spending a long time yesterday trying to get the Adobe Air Auto-Update to work I realized it was a bug with Flex SDK 3.5.  What happens under Flex SDK 3.5 when you run the auto-update is you only see a blank / gray screen pop-up with no wording.   At first I thought it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having developed Flex for several years now I am getting really tired of Adobe&#8217;s lack of support for developers.  I was hoping they would bring at least modest improvements to Flex Builder (now Flash Builder) 4, but it is not much better. Re-factoring support is almost non-existent, something I consider fundamental to the development [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mosso just announced they are going to be offering cloud servers at $10.95 / Month.  That is about half of the cost of of the competition.  This cloud service is based off their acquisition last year of Slicehost.   It will be interesting to see how similar this offering is to Slicehost.  They have a good reputation for excellent customer service, so hopefully they will keep this up.]]></description>
