<p><strong><a href="http://www.plupload.com/">Plupload</a></strong></p> Fantastic new open source project from the team behind TinyMCE. Plupload offers a cross-browser JavaScript File uploading API that handles multiple file uploads, client-side progress meters, type filtering and even client-side image resizing and drag-and-drop from the desktop. It achieves all of this by providing backends for Flash, Silverlight, Google Gears, HTML5 and Browserplus and picking the most capable available option. <p><small></small>Via <a href="http://blog.moxiecode.com/2010/02/03/plupload-released/">Moxiecode Developer Blog</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/browserplus">browserplus</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/flash">flash</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/gears">gears</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/html5">html5</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/plupload">plupload</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/silverlight">silverlight</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/tinymce">tinymce</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/uploads">uploads</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/12/getting-openid-into-the-browse.html">Getting OpenID Into the Browser</a></strong></p> David Recordon makes the case for online identity management as a key browser feature (I like the “your browser is currently locked” concept), and argues that Gears is in a great position to deliver it. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/browsers">browsers</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/david-recordon">david-recordon</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/gears">gears</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/identity">identity</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/openid">openid</a></p>
