Adobe to Reveal Plans for Flash 3D, Hezbollah Condemns Firing of CNN Tweeter

Flash 3D

Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
  • Next fall, Adobe may be further distancing itself from HTML5, as an Adobe blog has claimed that the company will reveal details concerning a "Flash Player 3D" at October's Max 2010 conference. [From: Mashable]
  • Hezbollah has come to the defense of fired CNN editor Octavia Nasr, saying that the Twitter-provoked incident represents "intellectual terrorism," and that the U.S. only "pretends to protect freedom of speech." [From: AFP]
  • Australia's Privacy Commissioner has determined that Google's Street View data collection mishap indeed violated the nation's privacy laws, prompting Google to publicly and apologetically admit, "We are acutely aware that we failed badly here." [From: Boston.com]
  • Consumer Watchdog has approached Congress about investigating those Google Street View practices, and the group now claims the "Wi-Spy" data-harvesting could have affected influential members of the U.S. government. [From: BBC]
  • Hulu Plus subscribers have disappointingly learned that paying a monthly $10 fee doesn't free them from annoying advertisements, but Hulu CEO Jason Kilar recently claimed his site could eliminate ads in the future -- if subscribers pay an even higher price. [From: Download Squad]
  • Bluetooth 4.0 is officially on the way, folks. (Sorry if you thought that Annoying Bluetooth Guy might soon fade into cheeseball, tech oblivion.) The technology could appear -- in a surprisingly awesome-sounding development -- on "minuscule devices" with previously unimaginable capabilities. [From: Engadget]
