Flash Content Searchable by Google and Yahoo!

Just saw this over at Ted Patrick's blog.  Looks like Adobe is going to work with Google and Yahoo to allow spiders to crawl Flash SWF content.  This is big time if indeed true.  A big client objection to full Flash sites is going out the window.  I assume the spiders are looking strictly at text fields and not source.  Anyone know definitively?

Update:  Official press release from Adobe here.

AIR Installation Error

I just tried to install Twhirl on my iMac running 10.5.3 and got this error.  Has anyone found a way to get around or fix this?

Exchange Server for the Rest of Us?

MobileMe

After Apple's unveiling of MobileMe, touted as Exchange for the rest of us, I started wondering about the possibility of a potentially much more disruptive angle that Apple could take with the service(s).  What if Apple included all of the backend bits that power MobileMe into the next or some future version of Mac OS X Server?  What if any organization could roll out push email, contact and calendar to their entire workforce for only $999?  What if an organization could offer the same kick-ass web-based mail, address book and calendar applications that MobileMe users will have access to?  How many small and medium business would drop Windows and Exchange in a heartbeat to switch to OS X Server with these features?
