Esta API, que sustituirá a la deNetscape que usa Chrome actualmente, será el medio por el que Adobe liberará las nuevas versiones de Flash para Linux y Google pretende disponer a fines de este año de dicha API en todas las plataformas y arquitecturas.</div><div class="mceTemp" style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:white;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;color:#666666;font-family:Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:24px;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;margin:0;padding:0;"> <dl class="wp-caption zemanta-img aligncenter" style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:transparent;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;max-width:100%;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;margin:0 auto 20px;padding:0;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt" style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:transparent;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;font-weight:bold;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;margin:10px 0 0;padding:0;"></dt></dl></div><div style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:white;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;color:#666666;font-family:ubuntu-1, ubuntu-2, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:24px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-top:13px;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-align:justify;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;padding:0;">Para los navegadores que no implementen “Pepper”, la versión 11.2 del plugin Flash Player tendrá un soporte de actualizaciones de seguridad de 5 años y seguirá disponible para descargar.</div><div style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:white;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;color:#666666;font-family:ubuntu-1, ubuntu-2, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:24px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-top:13px;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-align:justify;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;padding:0;">Hasta este momento Mozilla ha dicho no a trabajar con “Pepper”, de modo que tendrá varios años para ajustarse a esta nueva tecnología o buscar otras opciones.</div><div style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:white;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;color:#666666;font-family:ubuntu-1, ubuntu-2, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:24px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-top:13px;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-align:justify;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;padding:0;">Hasta acá, Mozilla sólo debería implementar también Pepper para poder recibir las actualizaciones de Flash que no sean parches de seguridad, es decir, como Google Chrome; pero en el anuncio Adobe indica: “Flash will be bundled with Google Chrome only” lo que nos indica que no todo pasará por adoptar Pepper.</div><blockquote style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:white;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-left-color:rgb(229,229,229);border-right-color:rgb(229,229,229);border-width:initial;color:#666666;font-family:Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:24px;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;quotes:none;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none solid solid;margin:0 0 38px;padding:20px 20px 0;"><div style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:transparent;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;font-family:ubuntu-1, ubuntu-2, sans-serif;margin-bottom:20px;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-align:justify;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;padding:0;">For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plugin for Linux will only be available via the “Pepper” API as part of the Google Chrome browserdistribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe</div><div style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:transparent;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;font-family:ubuntu-1, ubuntu-2, sans-serif;margin-bottom:20px;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;padding:0;">

Esto es lo que me hace ruido. ¿Hasta donde Google metió sus manos en esta decisión?</div><div style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:white;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;color:#666666;font-family:ubuntu-1, ubuntu-2, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:24px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-top:13px;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-align:justify;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;padding:0;">¿Es motivo de alarma? Principalmente NO, pero en un cierto punto SI, un poco.</div><div style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:white;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;color:#666666;font-family:ubuntu-1, ubuntu-2, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:24px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-top:13px;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-align:justify;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;padding:0;">No, porque seguiremos recibiendo actualizaciones y descargando Flash 11.2 por 5 años y para ese entonces se espera que HTML5 aplaste definitivamente a Flash. En su caso, alternativas libres a Flash verán importantes mejoras, hablo de Gnash o Lightspark. Si, y sólo desde un ángulo más filosófico si se quiere. Vale decir, el beneficiado directo de todo esto es Google, quien lleva tiempo implementando en su navegador (que no es Open Source) el reproductor Flash. Esto coloca a Google en una posición dominante, sin duda alguna, y no sólo en la plataforma Linux.</div><div style="background-attachment:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:white;background-image:initial;background-origin:initial;border-color:initial;border-image:initial;border-width:initial;color:#666666;font-family:ubuntu-1, ubuntu-2, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:24px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-top:13px;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-align:justify;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:none;padding:0;">Entonces permítanme, cuanto menos, dudar y preguntar: ¿Ha metido Google su mano en esto?
