			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most gamers aren&#8217;t thinking about the technology behind the games that they&#8217;re playing online, all they care about is whether it works or not.</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://thenextweb.com/dd/2012/01/03/this-jaw-dropping-rendering-of-an-iphone-4-was-written-completely-in-css3/">HTML5 bundled with either CSS3</a> or Javascript, developers are starting to put more of their code on the client-side rather than making people install plugins like Adobe&#8217;s Flash does.  However, according to the infographic below from gaming site <a href="http://www.onemorelevel.com">One More Level</a>, not all popular game makers are making the jump yet.</p>
<p>Why you ask? Most likely it&#8217;s because <a href="http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2012/01/10/microsoft-launches-html5-cut-the-rope-game-for-desktop-new-levels-for-ie9-users/">HTML5</a> is currently only supported by 40% of web browsers, while Flash is supported by 99% of them.  Even though HTML5 provides an increase in performance for gamers and requires fewer CPU cycles, it&#8217;s not quite &#8220;there&#8221; yet.</p>
<p>Popular Facebook game creator <a href="http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/01/02/what-2012-holds-for-social-gaming-with-king-com-ceo-riccardo-zacconi/">Zynga</a> is tinkering around with both technologies, with its most popular game Cityville available in Flash, and its second most popular game available on HTML5 and Flash.  It looks like the company is doing a bit of A/B testing and seeing how users react.  Companies who are eying a move to HTML5 will do so because of the cross-platform capabilities of HTML5 as well as support for mobile.  You can&#8217;t play a Flash game on an iOS device though, remember?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="297" height="245" src="http://cdn.thenextweb.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2010/06/time-spent.png" alt="time spent iFlash Improves iPhone Photography With An External LED Flash" title="time spent photo"  /><br /><p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1544" title="Picture 11 300x179 photo" src="http://cdn.thenextweb.com/files/2010/12/Picture-11-300x179.png" alt="Picture 11 300x179 iFlash Improves iPhone Photography With An External LED Flash" width="300" height="179" />In the past, we didn’t worry too much about getting the “right shot” using devices such as our mobile phones. After all, the phone-camera quality way back when was so shoddy it wasn’t worth the effort. Times have changed. The 5mp camera and HDR technology on the iPhone 4 is capable of capturing beautiful imagery however there is one catch &#8212; you need proper lighting.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gadgetsandgear.com/flash-for-iphone-camera.html">iFlash</a> fills the void of the missing built-in flash component by plugging a light into the base of the iPhone.  This accessory has embedded a flash bulb placed on the far right which nicely connects to the iPhone through the 30Pin connector (charging port).  The design is clever, by connecting to the base, it offers a non-obtrusive experience. I would expect that the newest iteration of the iPhone will have flash built-in but until then the iFlash should do the trick.  If you don&#8217;t want to fork over the $39.95 for iFlash, you could instead grab a .99 app like <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iflashready/id299029533?mt=8">iFlash Ready</a> that lightens images and applies flash effects.</p>
<p>Despite the quality of your cam you need to illuminate the shot. When you’re snapping pics indoors this can be difficult to accomplish and sometimes impossible if you’re shooting somewhere like a dark nightclub.  This accessory will hopefully reduce the amount of bad pics in your iPhone&#8217;s photo gallery.</p>
