Fedora 20 and skype screen sharing - skype

I use Skype 4.3 on Fedora 20, and I have a problem with screen sharing. (btw, the problem also happens with 4.2.*).
When I share my screen with another Skype client (ipad, windows... doesn't matter), my screen on the other client is just so noisy. Or the quality is so poor. Hard to define.
I found a similar topic on the internet, but the solution doesn't work for me.
Anyone faced with similar issue ?

Drupal Webspeech

We are using webspeech(https://www.drupal.org/project/webspeech) module for text-to-speech in one of our project. Basic functionality is working fine. But when we open this site in mobile devices (samsung, apple, sony) TTS feature is not working and no error is also being displayed.
We have tried to debug the problem but not able to do so.
Any help will be much appreciate.
If you read the module requirements it says specifically
Flash 9+ is required on client web browser. Modern browsers those
support HTML5 may also work but not guaranteed.
I see you opened an issue with the maintainer, which will probably be your best source of information, but it looks like you might be hit or (mostly) miss on mobile devices for now.

Can I use iPadian as an iPad emulator for website development?

I'm not sure if it's accurate or not.
For iPhone/iPad, I don't want to buy one and I don't feel like switching to Mac either. iPhone/iPad emulator is a big problem for me.
Wildly old thread, but having the same issue myself.
I'm trying Ipadian but not really liking the results.
Probably better, I would recommend getting virtualbox and installing MacOSX, then open the contents of XCODE directory and there is an iOS emulator. That should work very well/accurate.
Also there is browserstack, but that costs money.

Google Earth Plugin Displays Blue Instead of Terrain After Zooming

We have an app that uses the Google Earth API. Recently, a couple of our users have encountered a problem with the plugin where the screen will turn blue after zooming in a certain amount and no terrain will be displayed. But the screen will return to normal once zooming out. So far we've established that the issue doesn't seem to be specific to our app because the same behavior occurs on the Google Earth Plugin download page found here: http://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html. It also doesn't seem to be browser specific as the same behavior has been replicated in IE, Chrome and FireFox on the same affected machine. The other thing we've found is that if the user is running either the 6.1 or 6.2 versions of the plugin, uninstalling it and reinstalling 5.2 resolves the problem. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue and, if so, is there a solution other than asking users to downgrade to 5.2?
Thanks in advance,

I had same problem. Try go to Tools-Options-3DView. Try to change Graphics Mode from DirectX to OpenGL. Restart the application.
That solved my problem.
I was having this problem just now. Earlier today it was not doing this. I wonder if there is a server problem with Google. I will try finding an earlier version of the google earth plugin and try your fix. I am wondering if there is a newer version of the api that is needed.
Here may be a helpful link from Google.

How can I test a mobile version of our website?

I have no up to date mobile phone personally, and we don't have any in our team to allow us to test mobile versions of our ASP.Net websites.
We have now been asked to provide a mobile version of our website (which is a fairly busy site) but I have no means to check the mobile pages.
Any suggestions? Are there emulators or would it better to have the real thing?
It's always better to have the real thing, but if that's not an option, I have used a plugin for FireFox called "User Agent Switcher"
Another route you could go is to get the Android SDK and load up an emulator. It runs a full version of android, so you could open the browser from there (You could also change screen size/device type) - a little more heavy than the first solution, but potentially another route worth exploring.
You can use simulators/emulators - Android, iPhone etc.
Well Apple provide an iOS emulator, which you can download in the developers section of Apple's own website.
Outside of that, the only other testing environment I'm aware of is Ripple, which is a plugin for Chrome, designed to emulate a range of mobile devices. You can find that at: http://ripple.tinyhippos.com/.
As others have answered there is a lot of different tools to do the testing and that is all fine to a certain extent, for daily testing by developers and testers.
But with 15 years of testing behind me I would never let the site go untested with a few different real devices if the site is an important service - usually this can be done with "staff" phones at no cost if the cost is the problem. I would more or less say; can your company live with publishing a site out there and there might be a risk it won't work on some mobile platforms?
DeviceAnywhere is the tool that we have used a lot. It provides you access to numerous mobile devices using which you can test both apps and websites. They have placed several physical devices which you can see and operate remotely.
It is always better to test on real devices instead of emulators. During development phase, emulators are helpful but for final delivery it is best to test on real phones. Mobile web browsers may or may not support HTML,CSS,JS completely and their individual implementation could be different.

Flex applications on Windows Phone 7

I'm evaluating Flex 4.5 for use as a mobile development platform. The demo version of the IDE supports android and promises to support iPhone development in future. There's no mention of Windows Phone 7. Usually, this is the sort of thing that google excels at but in this case, I've come up empty handed. I've found many contradictory reports of Adobe supporting WP7, then not supporting it, then supporting it but not in the initial release.
Has anyone come across any official announcements from Adobe on this? I understand that companies change their priorities and business relationships change so I'm not looking for a crystal ball, I'd just like to see the latest communication from Adobe on this is.
Flex 4.5 can currently be used on Android and iPhone, however WinPhone7 is kind of out of the loop for now. There has been some demos of it shown, but who knows when Microsoft/Adobe will work together to get Flash out on Internet Explorer mobile or get to having Air on WinPhone7.
I know personally that Adobe is aiming for it, but not sure how much of a priority it is since WinPhone7 is still an underdog in this arena. My feeling is that it will come, but not just yet.
Flex/Flash hass not been mentioned on any public timelines for Windows Phone 7.
I think it's safe to assume that you won't see it any time soon.
