It turns out that Yahoo Media Player is not abandoned project after all. Last week it was announced that beta version is available for testing at mediaplayer.yahoo.com/beta. Here is a note from developers:
We’ve added some new stuff like video support. The player can now play YouTube videos and movie trailers – just add a YouTube link or Yahoo! Movie page link to your page. And, at long last, we’ve added a seek slider to control the position of the audio or video! That bug where songs were stopping instead of pausing when clicking pause has been fixed, as well as a bunch of other small bug fixes.
Here is the new code you will need to embed on your site to test this out (remove the other player JavaScript first):
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://webplayer.yahooapis.com/player.js"></script>
Example:
Lake of Tears: Demon you / Lily Anne
Anime “Red thread”
Top 50 Songs of the 90s in under 9 Minutes
This announcement was posted in Yahoo! discussion group at tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/yhoomediaplayer/. Feel free to post examples of how you are using the player on your site to this group.
This command displays configuration file stripping commented and blank lines on Unix-like operating system.
grep -E -v '^\s*#|^\s*$|^\s*;' file
or
egrep -v '^\s*#|^\s*$|^\s*;' file
I have released JavaScript library to create an effect of burning text. There are number of options that you can customize – colors, font and burning speed. You can see the demo and play with all the options at ponticstar.com/projects/burning-words.
The script uses canvas element that is a part of HTML5 specification. The element is currently supported by the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera. It is not natively implemented by Internet Explorer as of version 8.
While looking to upgrade my phone on LetsTalk.com I was puzzled by their customer care icon. Have no idea what was designer thinking creating it. Maybe you can help?

Another question I am asking myself is there a connection between this and their low rating at ResellerRatings.com.

On Valentine’s day David Orr launched the Dev Center that offers free audio samples for developers on a tight budget.
- Any project will qualify (even commercial ones!)
- You can use any of the music available in the Dev Center.
- There is no limit to how many pieces you want to use!
- No subscription fee is required – you just need to register (for free)
The only requirement is that you must insert the Dev Center splash screen at the start of your game.
