Copy/Paste finally made it to the iPhone and iPod Touch jailbreak community. First Clippy was released, allowing real copy/paste for the first time after a year and a half of waiting. Shortly after, hClipboard and CopierciN were released, providing us with some great choices and discussion.

“SWF (acronym of “Shockwave Flash”, pronounced swiff) is a partially open file format for multimedia and especially vector graphics developed by FutureWave Software, and now owned by Adobe. Intended to be small enough for publication on the web, SWF files can contain animations [...] of varying degrees of interactivity and function.

FutureSplash Animator was a software product for creating vector-based animations, the predecessor of Flash. It was developed by FutureWave Software, a small software company whose first product, SmartSketch, was a vector-based drawing program for pen-based computers. In 1995, the company decided that they should add animation capabilities to their product and deploy it over the burgeoning World Wide Web. The only way to create such animations on the web at the time was through the use of Java, but this was quickly replaced with the debut of Netscape’s plug-in architecture. The product was released as FutureSplash Animator in May 1996.

The technology was used on several big-name websites such as Microsoft’s MSN, Fox’s official The Simpsons website and Disney’s Disney Daily Blast. [...] As Disney also used Macromedia’s Shockwave player, this provided a connection to Macromedia, which approached FutureSplash about working together. In December 1996 Macromedia bought FutureWave, and FutureSplash Animator became Macromedia Flash 1.0.

Macromedia Flash later (2005) became Adobe Flash”
