Mobile social photo app Path launched tonight to huge press attention. Here's our coverage. After a few hours of testing it, though, it's a real surprise to see just how many features this deep-pocketed, heavily pedigreed startup launched without - after a year in stealth mode. Below is our list of 10 surprising things you can't do on Path.

Perhaps the most surprising thing, however, is that the app is still quite interesting. Some number of these missing capabilities will be deemed Features Not Bugs, but for now here's what you shouldn't expect from Path.

silverlight_microsoft_jul09a.jpgMicrosoft's Silverlight 3 and Expression 3 were released on July 9th to favorable reviews. The original Silverlight shipped in Fall 2007 as Microsoft's first programmable web browser plug-in. It's a 4MB Flash/Flex competitor that runs on Mac OS, Windows, Linux, and mobile devices.

Adobe's LiveCycle Powered by Amazon

By Bernard Lunn / January 12, 2009 4:30 PM

When we put Amazon Web Services (AWS) in our list of top 10 enterprise products of 2008, a few readers were skeptical that AWS was enterprise ready. This is a perception issue that Amazon faces. Amazon needs more partners that build apps for the enterprise. Adobe, meanwhile, wants to convince the kind of developers who love AWS that they should develop more business apps using its LiveCycle platform. This is the context for Adobe's announcement today that LiveCycle will be powered by AWS.

The app allows users to create customizable Flash bookmark widgets linking to link collections on any topic they're passionate about.

iPhone-less? Try Tiled Browsing Instead

By Sarah Perez / June 10, 2008 6:08 AM

zumobi_small.jpgYesterday was the big unveiling of iPhone 2.0. Even with its lowered price, many customers are still locked into contracts they can't break yet, and others still - believe it or not - are happy to continue using their mobile devices of choice, be them Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Nokia, Samsung, or something else altogether. Unfortunately though, no matter what device you use, browsing the mobile web can be somewhat of a challenge. However, now there are new applications that allow you to browse the mobile web in completely new ways: with tiles.

Adobe AIR Makes Its Way to Linux

By Josh Catone / March 30, 2008 9:01 PM

The Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR), which allows developers to take web applications to the desktop and store data offline, is finally coming to Linux. Adobe announced today that the pre-release alpha version of AIR for Linux is available immediately on the Adobe Labs site. Adobe shipped the 1.0 version of AIR for Windows and Mac last month but was forced to delay the Linux release. According to a FAQ on the Adobe site, the reason for the delay was that the AIR team had to "wait on the core Flash Player's support for Linux to be finalized."
