No longer limited to Shockwave Flash (swf), Flash can export to other formats such as WebGL, SVG, and HTML5. This is great for long-time Flash developers who need this flexibility, but Flash Professional CC 2014 also includes new features that allow designers to enhance their creative potential.

Joshua Ho, AnandTech

> While the hardware quality is a cut above, it’s more than just a matter of pure hardware. It’s clear to me that the user experience wouldn’t be nearly as good without Apple’s strong control over software.
> While I felt a bit constrained by the limits in the operating system, the integration and overall quality of the experience outweighed these disadvantages.

*** Rethinking Eating ***
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/24/sunday-review/rethinking-eating.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0>
Kate Murphy, New York Times

> Following Steve Jobs’s credo that “people don’t know what they want until you show it to them,” a handful of high-tech start-ups are out to revolutionize the food system by engineering “meat” and “eggs” from pulverized plant compounds or cultured snippets of animal tissue.

Nick Ripatrazone, The Millions

> Fishing is not merely recreation; it is a source of creation. It is an art. I will always be haunted by waters.



*** How The Web Lost Its Way – And Its Founding Principles ***
<http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/aug/24/internet-lost-its-way-tim-berners-lee-world-wide-web>
Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian

> When Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web 24 years ago he thought he'd created an egalitarian tool that would share information for the greater good. But it hasn't quite worked out like that. What went wrong?



*** Heaven’s Gaits ***
<http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/01/heavens-gaits>
Adam Gopnik, New Yorker

> Matthew Algeo’s “Pedestrianism: When Watching People Walk Was America’s Favorite Spectator Sport” (Chicago Review) is one of those books which open up a forgotten world so fully that at first the reader wonders, just a little, if his leg is being pulled. How could there be an account this elaborate—illustrated with sober handbills, blaring headlines, starchy portrait photographs, and racy newspaper cartoons—of an enthusiasm this unknown? But it all happened. For several decades in the later nineteenth century, the favorite spectator sport in America was watching people walk in circles inside big buildings.



*** A Master Of Many Universes ***
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/25/books/the-bone-clocks-is-david-mitchells-most-ambitious-novel.html?partner=rss&emc=rss>
Alexandra Alter, New York Times

> “Multiverse” may sound like a grandiose metaphysical term to attach to a novelist, but fans and scholars say it aptly describes Mr. Mitchell’s books, which span centuries, continents and genres, often within a single work.
