Adobe Apollo Alpha is out

Been meaning to write about this, but have just been really busy. Apollo is a Rich Internet Application (RIA), that allows you to build desktop apps using HTML, JavaScript, Flex, and other web technologies. There are a few samples of applications that can be made on the sample page. Really, it looks pretty neat, but I'm a little hesitant of the possibility of an XSS being able to compromise my computer, like Adobe has already had a problem with, but that hopefully will be an unfounded fear, at least for a little while.
