I read an interesting article this morning that suggested Apple would change its mind and put Adobe’s Flash technology on its iOS devices within a year. I don’t think that’s going to happen.

In an open letter to users, Apple CEO Steve Jobs gave several reasons why he didn’t want Flash on the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. They are: Flash isn’t open; the full web; reliability, security and performance; battery life; and touch.

Adobe began shipping Flash Player 10.1 for Mobile last June, but even Laptop magazine admitted that “Steve Jobs was right,” and that “Adobe’s offering seems like it’s too little, too late.” Granted, that report was from six months ago, but it still doesn’t bode well for the technology.

There is no doubt that Adobe is making advances with Flash on mobile devices, but I don’t believe future changes will be enough to get Apple to adopt the technology.

Jobs has been very clear that Apple supports HTML5, an open technology that is controlled by a standards committee, not one company. By building support for that technology into Webkit, Apple is ensuring that mobile Web browsers will be able to access what we’ve come to know as the “full web.”

Webkit is used by Google, Palm, Nokia and RIM, so it has a pretty solid base.

One of the arguments often bantered about when the discussion of the “full Web” comes up is video. There is no doubt that Flash made huge strides over the years in having sites like YouTube encode their videos in Flash. But that’s for the desktop.

As Jobs points out, almost all of this video is also available in H.264 format (a format Flash also supports), so it’s viewable on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

“Add to this video from Vimeo, Netflix, Facebook, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ESPN, NPR, Time, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, People, National Geographic, and many, many others. iPhone, iPod and iPad users aren’t missing much video,” wrote Jobs.

You may ask why other companies adopted Flash for their mobile devices when Apple won’t. That’s easy, they are looking for something they have that Apple doesn’t. Considering how hard it is for tablet makers to compete with Apple, any perceived advantage will work.

I’m not an Adobe hater—I know quite a few people that work at Adobe and I think they’ve done some amazing things over the years. Flash for mobile devices isn’t one of them.

Chris Dawson said he gives “Apple a year until they cave [and adopt Flash]. Android tablets will just be too cool and too useful for both entertainment and enterprise applications if they don’t.”

I have been using my iPhone for years and my iPad for one year. I honestly can’t remember the last time I went to a Web site that wouldn’t load because I didn’t have Flash installed. I can load videos from YouTube and a host of other sites too, no problem.

Apple has sold more than 160 million iOS devices and there are no screaming, angry hordes of users breaking down the doors at 1 Infinite Loop demanding Flash on their devices.

In order for Apple to change its mind and adopt Flash, the technology has to be proven to be indispensable and that it will benefit its users. Apple has proven just the opposite is true.

Andrew says his favorite platform for participating in tweetchats has become TweetChat, where all you need to do is enter the #moolah hashtag and then sign in with your Twitter account; TweetChat will display only those tweets with the #moolah hashtag, as well as always include the hashtag in your own posts. If I can get my article for tomorrow finished, I’ll be there to join the discussion!

Meanwhile, here are some great recent personal finance articles from elsewhere around the web:

First up, my pal Jim over at Bargaineering has a list of four things you shouldn’t be cheap about. Safety equipment? Don’t cut corners! Professional clothing? Invest in your future! This is an interesting topic to think about. Recently, Kris and I have discussed personal things we’re not willing to be cheap with anymore. (Travel gear, for one, and gardening equipment.)

Over at Consumerism Commentary, Flexo wrote about the advantages of buying a home with cash. This isn’t something most people can do — although I’ve recently talked with several people who’ve managed it — and it’s not something that others would want to do. Would you pay cash for a house if you could? Flexo outlines the pros and cons of such a choice.

As my financial philosophy matures, I’m more and more convinced that goals are the cornerstone of smart money management. But in order to set goals, you have to know yourself. At Personal Finance Advice, Jennifer lists five important questions you should ask about the choices you make. Will this move you toward your goals? Will it improve your life? And so on. These questions are similar to the ones I’ve learned to ask myself.

On a related note, Len Penzo has a thoughtful piece about how misplaced financial priorities lead to lame excuses. “Our spending habits reveal our priorities,” he writes. Amen!

Bundle, a New York City startup collects data on how people handle the same financial decisions to learn what works and what doesn’t, with the goal that we can all get smarter about money, together. In short, it crowdsources personal financial habits so we can all make better choices.

Bundle published a terrific amount of data ranking tech spending across the United States. Surprisingly, California and New York didn’t even make the top 5!

Here’s who did:

1. Washington, D.C.

While not technically a state, Washington, D.C. led the pack for the most tech spending Washington, DC with an average consumer spending $62.25 on electronics per month, 35.5% higher than the national average.

2. Connecticut

My home state of Connecticut comes in at #2 with the average consumer spending $64.25 per month, 33.4% higher than the national average.

3. Hawaii

This was surprising to me! If I could unplug anywhere in the U.S., it would definitely by Hawaii, but seems this isn’t true for the 3rd biggest tech spender with the average consumer spending $57.67 a month on electronics, 19.7% higher than the national average.

4. Delaware

Delawhere? Jokes. Home to one of our finest social media bloggers, Megan Sayers, Delaware ranks as the 4th biggest tech spender with an average consumer electronics spending of $56.08 per month, ranking 16.4% higher than the national average.

5. Oklahoma

Rounding out the top 5, Oklahoma tech fiends spend $55.83 per month on electronics, 15.9% higher than the national average.

Bundle’s data is based on the anonymous transactions of 25 million Americans. They have an in-house team of mathematicians and data specialists who work with the raw data to classify transactions by category and demographic, etc., and then put the info into a digestible format, which can then be used to create rankings such as this one. To play with the fun visualizer of spending bubbles, check it out here.

They also have a similar feature for an individual’s own spending via their personal finance management tools. Use it to compare your spending with others in your neighborhood, divided by age group, income bracket, etc. Think of Bundle as a Mint plus Blippy service.

What to anticipate Whenever Getting a Roofer

When the time comes to correct or substitute your roof, it can be a daunting job to locate someone who is competent for the job. There are lots of roofing contractors available, but the ones who will do a great job for a sensible price are not often easy to find. If you are in the market for a contractor, use the ideas below for interviewing and employing the correct one.

Job interview as well as Discussion

The majority of roofing contractors offer totally free consultations. This is particularly important, because it provides them a chance to assess what your homes roof needs, and it gives you an opportunity to evaluate all of them. As with all of companies, believe in intuition concerning the people a person allow up onto your roof. No issue how great the contractor's reputation or suggestion, he or she ought to start by presenting a person with a company card. If a service provider occurs looking as well as talking within an less than professional method, chances are that the job he's going to do will also be less than professional. This is not to express that you ought to anticipate contractors to reach in fits. They will be climbing on your roof, so most will be dressed in jeans as well as function boots or even sneakers. If the actual service provider appears to be more interested in speaking on their mobile phone during your homes roof than he is in evaluating your roof's requirements, which may be another indication that he is not the one for the job. For the legal protection, make sure that the service provider has sufficient liability insurance.

Roof Assessment

Anticipate the service provider will be rising in your roof. Actually, any contractor who not need to increase in your roofing to evaluate the problem ought to be immediately reduced. Those who are serious about their function will either create a sketching of your roof's surface as well as tag trouble spots on it because they undergo their own assessment, or even they'll consider photos or video from the surface area while they're up there. This is a very essential action, because it enables you to see just what the troubles are as well as know how they'll be set.

Estimation

The next step would be the created estimation. The service provider will take away their loan calculator and are available up with a written estimation. Some contractors will go to their truck or even van and write down the actual proposal, while some may crisis the actual amounts for the job prior to you. Once you're because of the suggestion, ensure that you comprehend which products will be utilized, how long the task will take and if you will find any additional or concealed costs that could arise during the restore of the roof. The contractor will be able to answer many of these questions with ease and forewarn a person of any extra costs that could be incurred should the roof's ethics end up being broken inside.

Once you have obtained several created estimates from roofing contractors, assess what each company or even contractor would like to offer you for that cost. Do not always discount the highest bid, because occasionally the greatest bid will actually function as the contractor who the task properly. Also, be skeptical of bids which are not nearly as expensive others. They might be utilizing inferior items or be untruthful concerning the chance of concealed costs. Above all, believe in instincts and opt for the service provider that makes you feel most comfy about giving more than your hard earned money.

 

Seven Uyghurs Sentenced to Death

2011-03-23

Critics of the sentences say China has politicized the robberies as acts of terrorism.

 

AFP

A Uyghur man walks past armed Chinese security forces in Urumqi, July 17, 2009.

Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang have ordered the executions of seven ethnic minority Uyghur men convicted of "violent" crimes, official media said on Wednesday.

 

The death sentences were handed down by the Supreme People's Court in recent days, according to state media in the regional capital, Urumqi.

 

The men were accused in connection with three separate attacks late last year in the Silk Road city of Kashgar, according to the news website Urumqi Online.

 

According to another website, the Xinjiang-based Tianshan news site, Aimaiti Tuheti, Yiming Dawuti, and unnamed "others" killed a security guard at a pedestrian mall as part of a failed Aug. 7 robbery attempt.

 

In a separate incident on Oct. 12, it said, Nuermaimaiti Aobulikasimu and 11 others broke into a house, bound and killed the couple living in it, and took their possessions.

 

It said the group also broke into the homes of two brothers, robbed them, and killed six people in a Nov. 11 attack in Kashgar.

 

The report gave no information about the victims or the schedule for the executions.

 

Three of the men were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, a sentence that is normally commuted to life imprisonment in China's judicial system.

 

They were convicted of deliberate homicide and armed robbery by the Kashgar Intermediate People's Court in the first instance.

 

'Strike hard' campaign

 

A Han Chinese resident of Urumqi surnamed Yang said a reference to "terrorism" in official news reports on the case showed that it was being politicized by the authorities, who have launched a series of "strike hard" campaigns in Xinjiang following deadly ethnic violence in July 2009.

 

"There is an implied political meaning; that they were somehow engaged in separatist activities or ethnic divisions," said Yang.

 

Exile Uyghur groups said the trials had been conducted behind closed doors, with scant opportunity for public scrutiny.

 

"The entire process against these men, from the trial through to the judgment, was opaque," said Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the Munich-based World Uyghur Congress.

 

"There was also very little reasonable evidence to convict them on a legal basis, because all the evidence came from one side of the case," he said.

 

"We strongly condemn the Chinese government for continuing to pursue their policies of ethnic division," said Raxit.

 

"We are also strongly opposed to the death penalty in this case."

 

Earlier cases

 

Last month, the Supreme Court sentenced four Uyghurs to death for alleged involvement in an Aug. 19 bomb attack in Xinjiang’s western Aksu city.

 

The World Uyghur Congress pointed to concerns over lack of transparency in those cases too.

 

The Aksu blast left eight people dead, including two of the bombers, and 15 wounded after a man riding a three-wheeled vehicle threw explosives at a group of uniformed patrolmen. Four Uyghurs were arrested shortly after the attack.

 

State media characterized the cases as acts of terrorism and unrelated to longstanding ethnic tensions between Uyghurs and Han Chinese in the region.

 

Exiled Uyghur dissident Rebiya Kadeer has warned that attacks like those in Aksu will continue to occur until Beijing addresses the underlying source of tension in the region.

 

Millions of Uyghurs—a distinct, Turkic minority who are predominantly Muslim—populate Central Asia and Xinjiang.

 

Uyghurs say they have long suffered ethnic discrimination, oppressive religious controls, and continued poverty and joblessness despite China's ambitious plans to develop its vast northwestern frontier.

 

Those frustrations erupted in July 2009 in deadly riots that left nearly 200 people dead, by the Chinese government's tally.

 

At least 26 people, mostly Uyghurs, were sentenced to death in the aftermath of the riots, many of whom have been executed, according to state media.

 

China is believed to execute more people each year than the rest of the world’s countries combined, although the government does not publish official figures.

 

Rights groups say Beijing may execute as many as several thousand prisoners annually.

 

Chinese authorities blame Uyghur separatists for a series of deadly attacks in recent years and accuse one group in particular of maintaining ties to the al-Qaeda terrorist network.

 

New training scheme

 

China on Wednesday also announced a training scheme which places ethnic minority graduates from Xinjiang in work elsewhere in China.

 

Governments of the destination cities will spend 450 million yuan (U.S.$ 69 million) for the program, while Xinjiang will spend 400 million yuan (U.S.$ 61 million), the official Xinhua news agency reported.

 

The program targets some 60,000 jobless college graduates in Xinjiang, around 80 percent of whom are from ethnic minorities, and 60 percent of whom are women.

 

However, some commentators see the move as an attempt to assimilate non-Han Chinese into mainstream Chinese culture.

 

"From the point of view of ethnic minorities, the graduate work scheme is really taking the cream of youth from the minorities and using them to 'further cultural development,'" wrote one ethnic minority user on a popular microblogging service.

 

"In fact, the culture that is being advanced is Han culture, and this group of young people will have been totally brainwashed," the microblog update said.

 

An Urumqi resident surnamed Li agreed.

 

"They have run senior high school schemes like this before during the past few years," he said.

 

"Whether it's high-schoolers or graduate training programs, these are measures that are aimed at thought control and brainwashing, and the 'Partification' of their education," he said.

Wikileaks and the Uyghur

through henry on December 20, 2010
Henryk Szadziewski, Supervisor, Uyghur Human Rights Project

Whether it were actually in doubt, info acquired by the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, has verified Chinese language government worries more than it's continued charge of the region it calls Xinjiang, also is referred to as East Turkestan. The actual leaked wires through Ough.Utes. diplomats show the extent to which Chinese government bodies make an effort to convince government authorities worldwide to consider its position on issues impacting Uyghurs. The cables also display the U . s . States' issues as well as views regarding the ongoing repressive steps in the region.

The majority of illuminating of Chinese language federal government pressure are the wires directed in order to Chinese anger, or even the specter associated with Chinese language ire, within the release of Uyghur detainees within Guantánamo to 3rd countries. The Dec Twenty nine, 2008 cable television relates exactly how Chinese Assistant International Reverend Liu Jieyi fulfilled using the Ough.S. Ambassador in order to The far east in order to voice Beijing's powerful competitors associated with launch in order to any country apart from The far east, which when the Ough.Utes. did indeed accede to this ask for it would "avoid injury to bilateral relationships and also to cooperation ‘in important areas'".

Mass occurrences present a different type of risk, he explained, since the leadership is ‘afraid' to fireplace on Han rioters for fear of causing massive public outrage that will change from the Party."

The actual diplomatic cables additionally talk about the unrest in Urumchi, the actual regional funds, in July 2009. A July 13, 2009 cable discussing mass occurrences within The far east states:

"Ethnic riots like those who work in Xinjiang This summer 5-7 as well as in Tibet in 03 associated with 08 differ substantially in origin as well as character through mass incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX stressed in order to PolOff [Political Officer] upon XXXXXXXXXXXX.

Mass incidents present another type of risk, he explained, as the management is actually ‘afraid' to fireplace upon Han rioters for fear of sparking huge public outrage that will turn from the Party."

This can be a chilling viewpoint, especially when one considers the evidence presented in two reviews launched this year through the Uyghur Individual Privileges Task (UHRP) and Amnesty Worldwide that detail eyewitness company accounts of the utilization of lethal live fire against Uyghur protestors in This summer '09. Additionally, the actual declaration that fire wouldn't be used towards Han Chinese protestors has resonances for the various strategy taken by Chinese protection causes within Urumchi to Han Chinese protests in Sept '09. During those protests, after that Celebration Secretary, Wang Lequan, tackled demonstrators, who experienced demanded he let them know about government responses in order to protection concerns.

The chance of solutions to stress within Tibet as well as Xinjiang as a result of municipal culture are discussed inside a Feb Twenty-four, 2008 cable television. While recommending that China's economic success will increase it's resistance to democratic change, the actual cable additionally talks about exactly how Chinese frontrunners see the effectiveness of "a limited growth of civil society, including enhancements within the rule associated with regulation and a more powerful role for authorized beliefs, NGOs, charities and other actors in areas that bring about sociable balance and do not challenge Communist Party guideline." This can be a notable change in thinking, which has observed Ough.S. officials market the idea which Chinese language financial development, as well as economic relationships along with The far east brings about a progressively democratic culture; nevertheless, more belief appears to be placed in the grassroots movement than one that begins from the top quantity of a Chinese federal government. Nevertheless, the cable television proves which "[i]n areas for example Tibet and Xinjiang, the fear of separatism results in tighter restrictions on the development of municipal culture." This approach is viewed as counter-productive through the official, who suggests that the actual Ough.S. federal government "should still express...serious concerns more than Beijing's human privileges report and appeal to China's growing consciousness which higher respect for human privileges, religious independence and the rule associated with regulation assists to advertise the very improvement and sociable balance which The far east looks for as well as to improve China's international picture." This type of technique would take substantial diplomatic skills considering "China's paranoid concern the United States secretly encourages regime change and ‘separatists' within Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang".

The cables offer understanding of the actual every day business of diplomacy that's hardly ever afforded to everyone, and it is fascinating to note the quantity of work done behind closed doors upon Uyghur issues.

In the center of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the northern-western part of China, the land of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is the very least populated province whereas it covers near to a sixth with the country's territory. Getting resisted during generations the Han Chinese domination, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, or Old East Turkestan, fell into within the Chinese Han domination in 1949. From then, its population is mostly Uyghurs and Turkic - speaking System.

Muslim most importantly, the Uyghurs have a solid religious identity that, in particular, enabled them to protect a solid big difference towards the Chinese invader. Of course, the Uyghur Kingdom of Mongolia knew a excellent civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

While in their own history, the Uyghurs successively adopted Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before lastly changing to Islam when the Arab conquerors beat the Chinese in year 751 BC., therefore opening the way to the Islamization of the complete Central Asia.

Under the influence of the religions which they adopted, the Uyghurs taken successively, and sometimes in a competing way, a large number of written forms (turco-runic, brahmi, tokharien, soghdien) before developing their own unique graphic system.

The coming of Islam was a great modification since it was supported by the absorption of the Uyghur areas in the immense Turco-Mongolian and Muslim Empire. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan progressively replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used presently.

If their writing, their language and their religion mark a real big difference with the culture of Chinese Han, the Uyghurs also are different from their aspect, so characteristic of Central Asia's people. A shiny skin, eyes representing a whole pallet of colors, from black to deep blue, features directing out to the Mongolian, Turkish or Uzbek origins of these men and these women.

For a few years, China has included the proper identity of these remote people, although they represent only nine million population - a little for this kind of huge area. Thus, the Uyghurs are now part of the 56 racial minority groups having been recognized in an official way by China.

This particular law allows them a few rights in a land where their difference is very often repressed. Thus, Uyghur families escape the "single child policy" and their language is known as the second official language in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The integration of the Uyghur people and their culture in the People's Republic of China, however, looks really illusory. The presence of all natural resources in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and its closeness with nations recognized as sensitive, strongly urged the government to accelerate the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the larger responsibility work opportunities.

In response to this true will to assimilate the Uyghurs into the Chinese culture, an independent party like East Turkistan Islamic Movement(ETIM) was born in the early 1990.

Saying more freedom, but primarily the recognition of their true identity, this movement was severely repressed by the power authorities in place Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The events of September 11, 2001, were the perfect occasion for the Chinese government to justify true reprisals: they declared the "Uyghur freedom fighters" as dangerous terrorists linked to Al Quaida because of their Muslim origins and their proximity with Pakistan and Afghanistan... However, the terrible repression which followed did not calm down the anger. The Uyghur population continues today to proudly continue to keep their identification and their civilization , though they become a minority on their own land.
