    Best web host comparison / review site

    webhostingtalk is worth a look, lots of hosts on there that rent dedis for their own shared/vps offerings, so you should get some useful opinions. The reviews are moderated to check that the reviewer actually hosts where they say they do, so most false reviews get binned.

    Server recommendations please

    You need to know more about the dedicated server than purely its port speed. I see a lot of cheap dedicated servers being offered for not much more than a virtualised solution, but have no raid (multiple drives for reliability) or domestic quality hard drives (low spindle speed but also have...

    Adobe have just announced that the next version of Flash (CS5) will publish to a native iphone app as one of the output options. There's some limitations naturally bit for a lot of simple apps it'll likely be an easier way to go about it than learning objective C.

    Adding voice and /or video to website

    If you have to do a cookie type date check, you could use a local shared object from within your flash video player. It's a lot more persistent than a normal cookie as it doesn't reside in the browser temp files directory and most people are unaware of how to clear them. You could implement this...

    which graphics card designers prefers?

    I'm currently in favour of nVidia mainly because of Badaboom (an nVidia Cuda enabled video encoding application that uses the GPU to vastly accelerate what is a time consuming process normally, while keeping the CPU level low so you can still multitask)

    Good Showreel or Bad?

    1. Nice, good motion graphics. From a technical perspective the video is encoded at too low a bitrate for the framerate/resolution - so there are some obvious encoding artefacts in places. You have great graphics that deserve better fidelity. Unless you host the flv yourself rather than use a...

    Bespoke Chat Room

    Flash player supports microphone and webcam access for audio/video chat, but you'll also need an rtmp capable server application which will handle incoming and outgoing streams.
