Adobe why did you do this? - Flash & Flex keybord disabled in fullscreen mode

Why would Adobe disable keyboard input in full screen mode?  We have an application that would really benefit from this yet we are held back?

Why Adobe?

If anyone knows a work around I'd love to hear it.

Apples new iPhone?

Gizmodo published this article on "perhaps" Apples next iPhone.  I guess it looks OK but I'm not sure if I like that's its not as slick and round as the current iPhone however if it increases battery life then I guess I'm all for it.  I guess it does look a bit more "buinessy".

What do you think?

ColdFusion Builder and Flash Builder for Linux

With Apples recent announcement that there "really" not fans of Adobe at all and won't allow the Flash -> iPhone cross compiler I think I've about given up on Apple and that I'll never be able to convince my boss to get me a MacBook for work.

I have a Macbook at home and I really like the machine.  For a home machine though the are expensive and it's unlikely that I'll get another one as I tend to use my work laptop ( Dell XPS ) for any development work outside of work hours as my current MacBook is limited to 2gig of ram.

My boss is really anti Apple the only device he will consider is the iPhone.  I feel like Ray Camden and Apple have hit the nail in the coffin and now I doubt I'll be considering a MAC in the near future.

What are Adobe doing about this though  it actually doesn't seam enough.  Why aren't our tools available on Linux?  I'd switch to linux in a second if just FlashBuilder and ColdFusion builder worked ( ColdFusion runs fin on Mac ). 

Come on Adobe surely it can't be that hard and it would show that your not bowing to Apple.  Every conference I have been to Adobe staff are really overly representing Apple I think they should start making more of a stand an get us developers our tools to run on linux especially since its based on Eclipse.

 The issue for Flash Builder on linux can be voted for here:  http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-19053

Not sure if there is a open issue for ColdFusion builder on linux.

Apple Adobe CS5 and the iPhone

Well I'm disappointed in Apple again.  First no Flash on the iPhone now the Actionscript -> Objective C cross compiler as part of CS5 is banned.

As a Flex developer this is really disappointing and although we actually have a almost complete working version of our app in Objective C we are already working on a full Flex /AIR Client and we interested in the Actionscript -> Objective C cross compilation.

I guess we will have to see what Adobe come up with to work around this. 

But really Apple why all the Abobe hate?
