Official Google Blog: Google learns to crawl Flash
OK, I’ve cheated with the headline again. Google adds one more file type it can understand to its formidable portfolio. I wonder, if the possibility to wield this power to convert one type of files into another (they know how to parse everything by the Desktop, don’t they?) will be available to mere mortals. Seems like a logical step, after all.
As for Flash: way go Google. Next station: Silverlight.

Here’s a sample of a good in-flight (or, in my case, on-train) movie: sweet, yet not overly so, with a plot, yet one can dose through some bits of it. With surprisingly nice cast too. I never thought I’d come to like Kate Winslet, ever.
And I am writing all this now because in a small cafe in Kyiv where we went while hiding away from rain that precluded Sir Paul’s concert, there were posters of different films as part of the decor, and one of them was from The Holiday.
Wait till December, and when you find out that local stores ran out of the always-wonderful Love actually, go for The Holiday that comes a strong second-best where the Christmas stories go.
